SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Manually translating a tasks.md file 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 to skip 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 running spec-kit planning for a new feature, invoke this Skill to turn all 25 generated tasks into tracked GitHub issues without re-creating ones from a previous run. ## Quick Start Ask the agent 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 spec-kit tasks into GitHub issues?▼

Run the taskstoissues command in a spec-kit project after tasks.md has been generated. The Skill parses each checkbox line, strips markers like [P] or [US#], and creates issues titled `T001: <description>` through the GitHub MCP server.

How does the Skill avoid creating duplicate GitHub issues?▼

It fetches existing issues with the GitHub MCP list_issues tool using cursor-based pagination and matches titles against the `\bT\d{3}\b` pattern. Tasks whose IDs already appear in an issue title are skipped and reported.

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

No. The Skill reads the Git remote URL and only proceeds if it is a GitHub URL. It explicitly refuses to create issues in repositories that do not match the remote, so GitLab or Bitbucket remotes are unsupported.

What prerequisites are required before running taskstoissues?▼

You need a spec-kit project structure with a .specify directory, a generated tasks.md for the current feature, a GitHub remote origin, and access to the GitHub MCP server. The check-prerequisites.ps1 script validates the feature directory and available docs.

What are extension hooks in spec-kit taskstoissues?▼

Hooks are commands defined in .specify/extensions.yml under hooks.before_taskstoissues or hooks.after_taskstoissues. Optional hooks are suggested to the user, while mandatory hooks are executed automatically before the conversion continues.
