speckit-github-issues-link

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of missing traceability between a specification artifact and the original GitHub issue that drove the change, making review and synchronization harder.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Bidirectional traceability: Adds issue link details into the spec and creates a comment on the GitHub issue pointing back to the spec.
• Flexible issue targeting: Accepts input as owner/repo#issue_number or just #issue_number to use the current repository.
• Spec discovery from feature context: Locates the correct feature directory and spec.md to update based on the current branch naming pattern.

Example use case: You create a new spec for a feature, then want the relevant GitHub issue linked to the spec so future updates stay connected.

Quick Start

Provide the issue reference as #2175 or owner/repo#2175 while running this skill in the feature directory that contains the spec.md to automatically add links in both places.
