To convert GitHub milestones into actionable tasks, this Skill fetches milestone issues, infers priority and dependencies, and generates a structured tasks.json file along with a seeded progress.md log for downstream consumption.

What is a Ralph-style loop and how does it use a tasks graph?▼

A Ralph-style loop is a machine-readable work queue powered by a tasks graph and progress log. This Skill creates the necessary tasks.json and progress.md artifacts to initiate and drive that automated workflow loop.

How do I generate a tasks.json file from GitHub issues?▼

Can I automate GitHub workflows by seeding a progress.md file?▼

Yes, you can automate GitHub workflows by seeding a deterministic progress.md file. This Skill creates the log alongside a tasks.json file to provide a machine-readable state for downstream workers to track progress.

Do I need any dependencies to turn a GitHub milestone into a task graph?▼

No dependencies are required to turn a GitHub milestone into a task graph. The Skill operates independently to fetch milestone data, infer priorities, and write the tasks.json and progress.md artifacts.
