SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the handoff between task breakdowns and GitHub issue tracking so you never lose sight of tasks listed in tasks.md.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prerequisite Validation: Executes .specify/scripts/powershell/check-prerequisites.ps1 to gather absolute task directories and ensure the spec-kit structure is satisfied.
  • Remote Safety Gate: Verifies that the Git remote is a GitHub URL before creating issues to keep actions scoped to the correct repository.
  • Issue Creation Workflow: Parses the tasks list and leverages the GitHub MCP server to create one issue per task so every work item is tracked on GitHub.
  • Use Case: After decomposing a feature in the spec-kit-managed repo, run this Skill to convert each tasks.md entry into reusable GitHub issues for the release board.

Quick Start

Run the skill after task breakdown so it converts every entry in tasks.md into GitHub issues for the repository.
