work-on-issue

Automate GitHub issue work by parsing issue goals and acceptance criteria, then automatically create a dedicated Git worktree and initialize test-driven development with auto-generated tests. Invoke with /work-on-issue #[issue-number] to extract requirements, set up isolation, and start the TDD cycle immediately.

Test-driven development on GitHub issues begins with extracting acceptance criteria and constraints, then converting them into actionable tests within a dedicated worktree. This Skill automates that sequence: parse the issue, generate todos, create the isolated environment, and spawn a workflow that enforces TDD from kickoff.

Yes. Create a dedicated Git worktree per issue to maintain isolation and prevent branch conflicts. This Skill automates worktree creation and setup for each issue, enabling parallel work streams with clean, independent repository states and TDD workflows running in each context.

Issue-management automation extracts goals, acceptance criteria, and constraints directly from GitHub issues, then chains worktree creation, todo generation, and TDD initialization without manual steps. This eliminates repetitive scoping and environment setup, letting teams begin focused coding immediately with a clear plan.

No prior TDD expertise is required. This Skill extracts issue requirements and auto-generates tests aligned to acceptance criteria, then structures the workflow around TDD principles. The automation handles test setup and ordering, guiding you through the cycle without demanding existing test-writing knowledge.

The Skill extracts goals, acceptance criteria, and constraints from GitHub issue text; accuracy depends on issue clarity and structure. Worktree creation requires an existing Git repository and issue number reference. Multi-issue workflows run in isolation, so resource limits reflect your system's ability to maintain parallel worktrees.
