SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires gh, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manual GitHub issue creation is time-consuming, prone to errors (duplicates, missing info), and often lacks clarity, leading to inefficient development cycles. This skill streamlines the process, ensuring every issue is precise, complete, and actionable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Duplicate Detection: Automatically searches for existing issues and discussions to prevent redundant reports, saving developer time.
  • Context Gathering: Guides you through asking precise questions to ensure all necessary details (versions, reproduction steps, errors) are captured, eliminating back-and-forth.
  • Structured Drafting: Crafts terse, specific, and actionable issue titles and bodies, adhering to best practices for clarity and developer efficiency.
  • Use Case: A user encounters a bug in Positron. Instead of manually checking for duplicates, guessing labels, and writing a vague report, they use this skill to generate a perfectly formatted, complete, and actionable GitHub issue draft in minutes, ready for submission.
