SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Manually turning a tasks.md breakdown into GitHub issues is repetitive and error-prone, often producing duplicates or issues in the wrong repository. This Skill automates the conversion while checking for existing issues and validating the Git remote. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automated Issue Creation: Parses tasks.md entries (e.g., - [ ] T001 Create project structure) and creates GitHub issues titled T001: Create project structure via the GitHub MCP server. - Deduplication: Fetches existing issues with cursor-based pagination and matches task IDs using the \bT\d{3}\b pattern, skipping tasks that already have issues. - Safety Guards: Verifies the Git remote is a GitHub URL before creating anything and supports pre/post extension hooks from .specify/extensions.yml. - Use Case: After generating a task breakdown with spec-kit, run this Skill to publish every task as a trackable GitHub issue without re-checking which ones already exist. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to convert the current feature's tasks.md into GitHub issues for this 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 automatically?▼

Run this Skill in a spec-kit project and it parses each checkbox line in tasks.md, strips markers like [P] or [US#], and creates a GitHub issue titled with the task ID and description, such as `T001: Create project structure`.

How does the Skill avoid creating duplicate GitHub issues?▼

It fetches existing open and closed issues with the GitHub MCP list_issues tool, matches titles against the `\bT\d{3}\b` pattern, and skips any task ID that already has an issue. Pagination stops once all task IDs are accounted for.

What project setup is required to use this Skill?▼

The project must follow the spec-kit structure with a .specify directory containing scripts and a tasks.md file for the feature. The Git remote origin must also be a GitHub URL, otherwise the Skill stops before creating issues.

Can I use this Skill with a non-GitHub remote repository?▼

No. The Skill explicitly checks `git config --get remote.origin.url` and only proceeds if the remote is a GitHub URL, since it creates issues through the GitHub MCP server.

What are extension hooks in the taskstoissues workflow?▼

Hooks are optional or mandatory commands defined in .specify/extensions.yml under hooks.before_taskstoissues or hooks.after_taskstoissues. Enabled hooks run before or after issue creation, with mandatory hooks blocking until they finish.
