SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Manually creating GitHub issues from a tasks.md file is repetitive and error-prone, often producing duplicates or issues in the wrong repository. This Skill automates the conversion of spec-kit tasks into properly titled, deduplicated GitHub issues. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automated Issue Creation: Parses tasks.md entries (e.g., - [ ] T001 Create project structure) and creates GitHub issues with canonical titles like T001: Create project structure via the GitHub MCP server. - Deduplication: Fetches existing open and closed issues with cursor-based pagination and skips tasks that already have matching issues, so re-running the command is safe. - Safety Guards: Verifies the git remote is a GitHub URL before creating anything and supports pre/post extension hooks defined in .specify/extensions.yml. - Use Case: After running the spec-kit planning workflow on a feature, invoke this Skill to turn every task in tasks.md into a trackable GitHub issue for your team without manual copy-pasting. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to convert the tasks in 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] and [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 via the GitHub MCP list_issues tool with paginated requests, matches titles against the task ID pattern, and skips any task that already has a corresponding issue.

Can I use this with a repository that is not hosted on GitHub?▼

No. The Skill reads the git remote origin URL and only proceeds if it is a GitHub URL, and it never creates issues in repositories that do not match that remote.

What project structure is required for tasks-to-issues conversion?▼

The project must follow the spec-kit layout with a .specify directory, including the check-prerequisites PowerShell script and a tasks.md file for the feature. A constitution.md file is loaded if present.

What happens when task IDs exceed three digits like T1000?▼

The deduplication regex matches IDs with three or more digits, so four-digit IDs such as T1000 are correctly detected in existing issue titles and properly deduplicated or created.
