What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of managing GitHub issues while staying inside a tmux-based agent workflow by keeping a local, file-backed mirror of issues for review and delegation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local issue mirror: Mirrors issues into /tmp/mate-issues/<owner>/<repo>/ with structured directories for fast navigation.
  • Create/edit via files: Creates new issues from drafts in new/ and applies edits from all/ using .snapshots for change detection.
  • Issue-context assignments: Injects full synced issue content into mate assign using mate assign --issue <number> so the worker can act without manual copy/paste.
  • Relationship-aware context: Generates dependency summaries via DEPS.md and optional deps/ links to help plan multi-issue work.

Quick Start

Run mate issues in your target repository, then start work on a specific issue by providing its number to mate assign with issue context.
