project-manager

To track GitHub issues and identify blockers, this skill fetches and analyzes issue statuses and dependencies to pinpoint what is holding up your project. It requires the GitHub CLI to interact with your repository and Python to process the dependency tracking.

Critical path analysis calculates the longest sequence of dependent GitHub issues to determine your project's minimum duration. By mapping these dependent issues, it identifies which tasks directly impact your overall project timeline and must be prioritized.

The best way to prioritize work is by analyzing the critical path, dependencies, and phase order of your GitHub issues. The skill recommends specific issues to work on next, ensuring you focus on tasks that unblock others and reduce project duration.

Yes, you need both GitHub CLI and Python to calculate project dependencies and critical paths. The GitHub CLI fetches the raw issue data from your repository, while Python processes this data to perform the dependency analysis and calculate the critical path.

Yes, you can get project management recommendations through conversational interaction by asking natural language questions like "How's the project going?". The skill interacts with you conversationally to provide insights into project status and suggest work priorities.

You should use automated issue tracking for software development projects with complex dependencies where manual prioritization is difficult. It is specifically designed for projects where dependent issues create bottlenecks and you need to calculate the critical path to determine minimum project duration.
