SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prevents starting a new planning or scoping session when the prior GitHub issue or pull request may still be incomplete, avoiding duplicated effort, lost context, and conflicting work.

Core Features & Use Cases

Precheck Classification: Delegates to the gh-csi workflow precheck-previous-task script to classify a referenced issue or PR as completed, not_completed, or unknown.
Decision Gate: Returns a concise structured precheck (status, task reference, evidence, decision) and prompts for confirmation when the prior task is not completed or status is unclear.
Real-world Use Case: Use when a user says "let's plan issue #11" so the agent verifies the preceding task state and either proceeds, asks to continue anyway, or requests clarification.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to run the planning completion gate for issue #11 to verify whether the previous task is completed before drafting a new plan.

FAQPage Schema

How do I verify a previous GitHub issue is completed before planning a new task?▼

Verifying previous GitHub issue completion before planning involves running a precheck script with an issue number flag to classify its state as completed, not_completed, or unknown. This decision gate prevents overlapping work by ensuring the prior task is finished before starting a new scoping session.

What is a planning completion gate in GitHub workflow automation?▼

A planning completion gate in GitHub workflow automation is a precheck mechanism that classifies the state of a referenced issue or PR before starting new work. It returns a structured status to ensure continuity and prevent conflicting efforts across sequential tasks.

How do I run a precheck on a GitHub PR before starting a scoping session?▼

To run a precheck on a GitHub PR before starting a scoping session, execute the gh-csi workflow precheck-previous-task script using the --pr flag. This produces a classification of the PR's completion state to gate your planning decision.

Does the precheck script work with both GitHub issues and pull requests?▼

Yes, the precheck script works with both GitHub issues and pull requests by accepting optional --issue or --pr flags. It evaluates the specified reference and outputs a completed, not_completed, or unknown classification for decision gating.

What happens if a prior GitHub task is not completed when I try to plan the next one?▼

If a prior GitHub task is not completed when you try to plan the next one, the precheck gate returns a not_completed status and prompts for confirmation. This structured response asks whether you want to continue anyway or request clarification before drafting new work.
