SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the disconnect between project planning and issue tracking by automating the creation of GitHub issues directly from defined task lists.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automated Synchronization: Converts task list items into standardized GitHub issues with unique identifiers.
Deduplication Logic: Prevents duplicate issue creation by scanning existing repository issues for matching task IDs.
Extensible Workflow: Supports pre- and post-execution hooks to integrate custom project governance or automation steps.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to convert the tasks defined in the current project into GitHub issues using the speckit-taskstoissues skill.

FAQPage Schema

How do I convert project tasks into GitHub issues automatically?▼

You can automate GitHub issue creation by parsing task list items from a spec-kit project structure, verifying repository remotes, and generating dependency-ordered issues. This skill handles the conversion directly while ensuring each issue receives a unique identifier.

How does deduplication work when syncing tasks to GitHub issue tracking?▼

Deduplication prevents duplicate issue creation by scanning existing repository issues for matching task IDs before creating new ones. This ensures syncing tasks to GitHub issue tracking remains idempotent and avoids redundant tickets during repeated executions.

Do I need a spec-kit project structure to generate GitHub issues from task lists?▼

Yes, a valid spec-kit project structure is required to parse task definitions and generate dependency-ordered GitHub issues. You also need GitHub MCP server integration to execute the issue creation and validation workflows.

Can I add custom automation steps when creating GitHub issues from tasks?▼

Yes, the workflow supports pre- and post-execution hooks to integrate custom project governance or automation steps. This allows you to extend the issue creation process with additional validation or notification logic.

Why are my GitHub issues created in a dependency order from the task list?▼

Issues are created in dependency order to maintain the correct execution sequence for software development tasks. The skill parses task definitions to establish relationships and generates GitHub issues following this structured hierarchy.
