Frequently Asked Questions about update-issue-tree

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I synchronize phase labels across a GitHub issue tree?▼

You can synchronize phase labels by running the update-issue-tree command with the root tracking issue number, which recursively retrieves all sub-issues and enforces phase label consistency across the entire tree.

What is the best way to resolve orphan issues in a GitHub repository?▼

Resolving orphan issues in a GitHub repository is handled by identifying unparented issues and automatically reassigning them to appropriate phase parents within the existing issue tree structure.

Do I need the gh CLI to automate GitHub issue tree management?▼

Yes, the gh CLI is required because this Skill depends on it for GitHub API access to retrieve issue trees, update phase labels, and reassign orphan issues automatically.

Can I create new phase parents for GitHub issues that do not fit existing phases?▼

Yes, you can create new phase parents for GitHub issues, as this Skill detects new tasks that do not fit within existing phases and automatically generates the necessary phase parents.

How does recursive issue tree retrieval work for GitHub sub-issues?▼

Recursive issue tree retrieval works by fetching and organizing all issues in a GitHub repository, traversing through nested sub-issues to build a complete hierarchical view before synchronizing phases.
