speckit-taskstoissues

To create GitHub issues from a markdown task list, this skill reads a tasks.md file and uses a GitHub MCP server to instantiate issues in the repository identified by your current git remote. It eliminates manual issue creation by converting structured task breakdowns directly into actionable tracking items.

The best way to convert tasks.md into GitHub issues for project management is running this skill, which preserves task metadata and original order while scoping issue creation to the matching GitHub repository. It ensures traceability from planning to execution without manual data entry.

This issue conversion skill only works if your git remote points to a GitHub URL, validating the remote address before using the GitHub MCP server to create issues. It requires a tasks.md file containing the structured breakdown of work items to function correctly.

Task details and context are preserved when generating GitHub issues by reading the tasks.md file structure and passing the metadata directly to the GitHub MCP server. This ensures development, QA, and documentation tasks retain their original descriptions and context during automated issue creation.

You cannot use this skill to automate issue creation for multiple repositories simultaneously, as it is repository-scoped and creates issues only in the repository corresponding to the current git remote. You must run the skill individually within each target repository environment.
