This Skill standardizes lookup, validation, and human-friendly presentation so maintainers and contributors can review an issue's status, metadata, and discussion without manually opening files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validates and normalizes an issue ID by zero-padding numeric IDs to four digits for consistent file lookup.
  • Verifies the existence of .issues/{id}.toml, reads its contents, and formats title, status, priority, assignee, timestamps, and comments for easy reading.
  • Use Case: A developer or maintainer wants to review the history and current state of a reported issue before starting work or responding.

What is the best way to triage local repository issues stored as TOML?

The best way to triage local repository issues stored as TOML is to use an automated lookup tool that validates IDs and formats the full file contents, allowing maintainers to quickly review status and discussion history.

Does this issue tracking display method work without external dependencies?

Yes, this issue tracking display method works without external dependencies, relying only on glob-based existence checking to verify and read the .issues/{id}.toml file directly from the repository.

Why does my issue lookup fail when I search for a short numeric ID in the repository?

Your issue lookup may fail because the skill requires numeric IDs to be zero-padded to four digits for file lookup, meaning an input like 1 must resolve to 0001 to find the correct TOML file.
