This skill helps software teams quickly identify and begin work on the most important GitHub issues, reducing context switching and delays by prioritizing Ready items and enabling targeted filtering by epic, label, or description.

To start the next ready GitHub issue automatically, this skill identifies the highest-priority Ready items using gh CLI commands and moves the selected issue to In Progress. It prioritizes issues by project priority and presents options for immediate work.
Yes, you can filter GitHub issues by epic, label, or description before starting work. The skill supports optional filtering to target specific work items, allowing you to narrow the scope of automated issue discovery to match your current sprint or epic focus.
Yes, you need gh CLI and jq installed to automate GitHub issue prioritization. The skill relies on gh CLI commands to interact with repository metadata and jq to parse JSON responses, moving Ready items to In Progress based on project priority.
The best way to pick up the highest priority unblocked issue from a GitHub kanban board is using this skill. It queries Ready items, sorts them by priority, and moves the selected issue to In Progress, reducing context switching and delays for software teams.
The start-work skill moves issues to In Progress on GitHub Projects by executing gh CLI commands against repository metadata. After identifying and filtering the next Ready issue by priority, it updates the project status and provides context for immediate development.
When filtering GitHub issues by description for automated workflow selection, limitations depend on the gh CLI query capabilities and repository metadata accuracy. The skill targets Ready items specifically, so issues not in the Ready column will not be discovered or moved to In Progress.
