What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams manage and triage issues by presenting open items from both local planning state and GitHub backlog, enabling a user to select an issue to work on and determine next actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Unified issue view: List open issues from local planning (.planning/issues/open) and GitHub backlog to decide what to work on next.
• Migration support: Detect and migrate legacy .planning/todos data into the modern issues format to preserve work history.
• Context-aware loading: Load full context for local issues or fetch details from GitHub for GitHub-only issues, including problem/solution sections if present.
• Actionable workflow: Offer guided actions such as starting work (Quick task), planning (Planned), linking to phases, or creating new phases, with state transitions between open, in-progress, and closed.
• Deduplication via provenance: Use provenance fields to prevent duplicate efforts and maintain traceability across local and GitHub items.

Quick Start

Use this skill to list issues, select an item to work on, and follow the guided prompts to decide whether to start work, link to a phase, or create a new phase.
