TODOs to GitHub Issues

To convert TODO comments into GitHub Issues automatically, you need a code scanning tool that parses your repository for TODO and FIXME tags and generates structured issues. This Skill scans the codebase, analyzes project context and contribution guidelines, and creates GitHub Issues complete with labels, priorities, and descriptions using the GitHub CLI.

Yes, you need the GitHub CLI installed to create issues from code TODOs. The Skill requires the gh command-line tool for authenticating your GitHub account and programmatically creating the structured issues directly within your repository.

Yes, you can use your existing issue templates when generating issues from FIXME comments. The Skill adheres to project-specific standards, analyzes your issue templates, and follows contribution guidelines to ensure the generated issues comply with your repository's formatting requirements.

Code context analysis improves automated GitHub issue creation by examining surrounding code to determine the type and priority of the TODO or FIXME. This ensures the resulting GitHub Issues are well-defined, accurately labeled as bugs or features, and populated with relevant code snippets for your team.

The best way to track technical debt scattered across a repository is by scanning code for TODO and FIXME comments and converting them into actionable GitHub Issues. This centralizes fragmented development notes into a structured issue tracker with appropriate priorities and descriptions.
