SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually managing GitHub issues across development and security operations teams is time-consuming and error-prone, especially when handling high volumes of bug reports, feature requests, and vulnerability tickets. This Skill eliminates repetitive manual work by providing standardized, automated workflows for full issue lifecycle management.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Full Issue Lifecycle Management: Create, view, edit, label, assign, comment on, and close GitHub issues with support for structured bug report and feature request templates.
  • Dual Tool Compatibility: Works with both the official gh CLI for fast, native GitHub interactions and raw GitHub REST API for custom integration into existing automation pipelines.
  • Bulk Operations & Triage: Filter untriaged issues, apply bulk labels and assignments, and close batches of issues to keep project backlogs organized and prioritized.
  • Use Case: A security operations team can use this Skill to quickly triage incoming vulnerability reports, label them by severity, assign them to the responsible engineer, and track resolution status without manual dashboard navigation.

Quick Start

Use the github-issues skill to list all open issues labeled "bug" in the current repository and assign the highest priority one to the on-call engineer.
