SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It streamlines GitHub issue triage by letting you create, update, and organize issues with the right type, labels, milestones, assignees, and relationships without manually navigating GitHub.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Issue discovery: Read details, list issues by filters, and search issues to find what already exists.
  • Issue creation & updates: Create new issues and update existing ones (typically via GitHub REST/GraphQL using gh api) including closing issues and adjusting metadata like labels, assignees, and milestones.
  • Planning structure: Add supporting workflow metadata such as issue types, link issues, and manage blocked-by/blocking relationships; also use templates for consistent bodies.
  • Use cases: File bug reports, request features, convert user requests into structured tasks, set priority/start dates (when supported), and keep related work connected with dependencies.

Quick Start

Create a GitHub bug issue for a reported crash by using the issue-creation flow and providing a clear title and a templated body based on the bug report format.

What's the best way to triage and search existing GitHub bug reports?▼

Searching existing GitHub bug reports requires MCP GitHub issue read/list/search tooling for retrieval. You can filter issues, read details, and find existing bug reports to avoid duplicates before creating new ones.

Can I link GitHub issues with blocked-by or blocking dependency relationships?▼

Yes, you can link GitHub issues with blocked-by or blocking dependency relationships. The skill manages issue links and dependencies, allowing you to connect related work and maintain planning structure across tasks.

Do I need MCP GitHub tooling to read and list issues, or can I use gh api?▼

You need MCP GitHub tooling for reading, listing, and searching issues. The `gh api` is used separately for write operations such as creating, updating, commenting, and advanced issue-type handling.

How to convert user requests into structured GitHub tasks with issue types?▼
