SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? After breaking down a feature into tasks with spec-kit, manually creating GitHub issues for each task is repetitive and error-prone. This Skill automates that conversion so every task becomes a tracked issue in the correct repository. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automated Issue Creation: Reads tasks from tasks.md and creates one GitHub issue per task via the GitHub MCP server. - Remote Validation: Verifies the git remote is a GitHub URL and refuses to create issues in repositories that do not match the remote. - Spec-Kit Integration: Runs the spec-kit prerequisites script to locate FEATURE_DIR and the tasks file within a .specify project structure. - Use Case: After generating a task breakdown for a new feature, invoke this Skill to instantly populate your GitHub project board with trackable issues for each work item. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to convert the tasks in tasks.md into GitHub issues for the current repository.

Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-taskstoissues

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert tasks.md into GitHub issues?▼

Run this Skill after generating a task breakdown with spec-kit. It parses tasks.md, verifies the git remote is a GitHub URL, and creates one issue per task using the GitHub MCP server.

How to track spec-kit tasks in GitHub project management?▼

Use this Skill after the task breakdown step. It automatically creates GitHub issues for each task in tasks.md, so work items appear in your repository's issue tracker without manual entry.

Does this work with non-GitHub remotes like GitLab?▼

No. The Skill checks the git remote URL and only proceeds if it is a GitHub URL. It explicitly refuses to create issues in repositories that do not match the remote.

What project structure is required for taskstoissues?▼

It requires a spec-kit project with a .specify directory containing scripts/bash/check-prerequisites.sh. The script resolves FEATURE_DIR and the tasks file path, and all paths must be absolute.

Why does issue creation fail with a repository mismatch error?▼

The Skill includes a safety guard that blocks issue creation when the target repository does not match the git remote origin URL. Confirm your remote.origin.url points to the intended GitHub repository before running.
