SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Manually translating a feature's task list into GitHub issues is repetitive and error-prone, especially when tasks must stay dependency-ordered and tied to the correct repository. This Skill automates that conversion directly from spec-kit design artifacts. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automated Issue Creation: Reads the tasks file produced by spec-kit and creates one GitHub issue per task using the GitHub MCP server. - Remote Validation: Verifies that the git remote origin is a GitHub URL before creating anything, preventing issues from being filed in the wrong repository. - Prerequisite Checks: Runs the spec-kit check-prerequisites script to resolve the feature directory and available design documents before proceeding. - Use Case: After generating a tasks.md breakdown for a new feature with spec-kit, invoke this Skill to file every task as a labeled, ordered GitHub issue ready for sprint planning. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to convert the current feature's tasks into GitHub issues, optionally passing a label or filter as the argument.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert spec-kit tasks into GitHub issues?▼

Invoke the taskstoissues command after generating tasks with spec-kit. It runs check-prerequisites to locate the tasks file, verifies the git remote is a GitHub URL, then creates one issue per task via the GitHub MCP server.

How to create GitHub issues from a tasks.md file automatically?▼

Use this Skill within a spec-kit project: it parses the tasks file resolved by check-prerequisites and files each task as a GitHub issue in dependency order. You can pass an optional filter or label as an argument.

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

No. The Skill explicitly checks that git remote origin is a GitHub URL and stops if it is not. It will never create issues in repositories that do not match the remote URL.

What prerequisites are required before running taskstoissues?▼

You need a spec-kit project with a .specify directory, an existing tasks file for the feature, and a GitHub remote configured. The check-prerequisites script is run with --require-tasks to validate this setup.

Why does taskstoissues refuse to create issues?▼

It refuses when the git remote origin is not a GitHub URL or when the tasks prerequisite check fails. These guards prevent issues from being filed in the wrong repository or without a valid task list.
