FAQPage Schema

How do I create well-structured GitHub issues from rough ideas?▼

To create GitHub issues from ideas, provide a title, background, purpose, and acceptance criteria to load a structured workflow context. This process uses GitHub CLI to turn concepts into defined issues aligned with project conventions and steering documentation.

What is issue triage and how does it help manage a backlog at scale?▼

Issue triage is the process of managing labels and parent/child relationships to handle backlogs at scale. It ensures issues are standardized, decomposed to fit project standards, and maintain traceability throughout the lifecycle.

How do I refine and standardize existing issues to fit project conventions?▼

To refine existing issues, the workflow reformats and decomposes them to align with steering guidance and project standards. This ensures requirements are clearly outlined and scoped correctly before development begins.

Can I attach verification patterns to GitHub issues for automated testing?▼

You can attach pre-merge and post-merge verification patterns to GitHub issues to maintain traceability throughout the lifecycle. This ensures that acceptance criteria are met through automated verification before and after code integration.

Does this issue workflow require the GitHub CLI to function?▼

The issue creation and refinement workflow uses GitHub CLI to establish requirements and standardize content. Using CLI commands allows the structured workflow to automate issue generation and manage relationships directly within your repository.

When should I decompose issues into parent and child relationships?▼

You should decompose issues into parent and child relationships when managing a backlog at scale to maintain traceability. This approach helps align complex requirements with project conventions and ensures structured verification across the lifecycle.
