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 existing issues and validating the Git remote before creating anything. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automated Issue Creation: Parses tasks.md entries (stripping checkbox, [P], and [US#] markers) and creates GitHub issues titled T001: <description> via the GitHub MCP server. - Deduplication: Fetches existing open and closed 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 and refuses to create issues in repositories that do not match the remote. - Extension Hooks: Supports optional and mandatory pre/post hooks declared in .specify/extensions.yml. - Use Case: After running spec-kit planning for a feature, invoke this Skill to publish every task in tasks.md as a tracked GitHub issue without re-checking which ones already exist. ## Quick Start Convert the tasks in my current spec-kit feature's tasks.md into GitHub issues, skipping any that already exist.

Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-taskstoissues

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

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

Run this Skill in a spec-kit project with a .specify directory. It executes check-prerequisites.ps1 to locate tasks.md, parses each task line, and creates GitHub issues titled like `T001: <description>` through the GitHub MCP server.

How does the skill avoid creating duplicate GitHub issues?▼

It lists existing open and closed issues with perPage 100 and cursor pagination, matching titles against the pattern \bT\d{3}\b. Any task ID already present in an issue title is skipped and reported instead of recreated.

Does it work with task IDs longer than three digits?▼

Yes. The matching pattern uses \d{3} so IDs like T1000 are recognized. The word boundary handling also prevents false matches such as ST001 or partial matches inside longer IDs.

What happens if the Git remote is not a GitHub URL?▼

The Skill stops before creating anything. It reads the remote via git config --get remote.origin.url and only proceeds when the remote is a GitHub URL, never creating issues in repositories that do not match the remote.

Can I run custom hooks before or after issue creation?▼

Yes. If .specify/extensions.yml defines hooks under before_taskstoissues or after_taskstoissues, the Skill executes mandatory hooks and suggests optional ones. Hooks with enabled set to false or with non-empty conditions are skipped.
