When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Creating a GitHub issue (bug report or feature request)
  • Helping a contributor file an issue
  • Triaging or approving issues as a maintainer

Critical Rules

  1. Blank issues are disabled — MUST use a template (bug report or feature request)
  2. Every issue gets status:needs-review automatically on creation
  3. A maintainer MUST add status:approved before any PR can be opened
  4. Questions go to Discussions, not issues

Workflow

1. Search existing issues for duplicates
2. Choose the correct template (Bug Report or Feature Request)
3. Fill in ALL required fields
4. Check pre-flight checkboxes
5. Submit → issue gets status:needs-review automatically
6. Wait for maintainer to add status:approved
7. Only then open a PR linking this issue

Issue Templates

Bug Report

Template: .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml Auto-labels: bug, status:needs-review

Required Fields

FieldDescription
Pre-flight ChecksCheckboxes: no duplicate + understands approval workflow
Bug DescriptionClear description of the bug
Steps to ReproduceNumbered steps to reproduce
Expected BehaviorWhat should have happened
Actual BehaviorWhat happened instead (include errors/logs)
Operating SystemDropdown: macOS, Linux variants, Windows, WSL
Agent / ClientDropdown: Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, Other
ShellDropdown: bash, zsh, fish, Other

Optional Fields

FieldDescription
Relevant LogsLog output (auto-formatted as code block)
Additional ContextScreenshots, workarounds, extra info

Example — Bug Report via CLI

gh issue create --template "bug_report.yml" \
  --title "fix(scripts): setup.sh fails on zsh with glob error" \
  --body "
### Pre-flight Checks
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate
- [x] I understand this issue needs status:approved before a PR can be opened

### Bug Description
Running setup.sh on zsh throws a glob error when no matching files exist.

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Clone the repo
2. Run \`./scripts/setup.sh\` in zsh
3. See error: \`zsh: no matches found: skills/*\`

### Expected Behavior
The script should handle missing glob matches gracefully.

### Actual Behavior
Script crashes with glob error.

### Operating System
macOS

### Agent / Client
Claude Code

### Shell
zsh

### Relevant Logs
\`\`\`
zsh: no matches found: skills/*
\`\`\`

Feature Request

Template: .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml Auto-labels: enhancement, status:needs-review

Required Fields

FieldDescription
Pre-flight ChecksCheckboxes: no duplicate + understands approval workflow
Problem DescriptionThe pain point this feature solves
Proposed SolutionHow it should work from the user's perspective
Affected AreaDropdown: Scripts, Skills, Examples, Documentation, CI/Workflows, Other

Optional Fields

FieldDescription
Alternatives ConsideredOther approaches or workarounds
Additional ContextMockups, examples, references

Example — Feature Request via CLI

gh issue create --template "feature_request.yml" \
  --title "feat(scripts): add Codex support to setup.sh" \
  --body "
### Pre-flight Checks
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate
- [x] I understand this issue needs status:approved before a PR can be opened

### Problem Description
The setup script only configures Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. Codex users have to manually copy skills.

### Proposed Solution
Add a Codex option to setup.sh that links skills to the .codex/ directory.

Example:
\`\`\`bash
./scripts/setup.sh --agent codex
\`\`\`

### Affected Area
Scripts (setup, installation)

### Alternatives Considered
Manually symlinking, but that defeats the purpose of the setup script.

Label System

Applied Automatically on Issue Creation

TemplateLabels added
Bug Reportbug, status:needs-review
Feature Requestenhancement, status:needs-review

Applied by Maintainers

LabelWhen to apply
status:approvedIssue accepted for implementation — PRs can now be opened
priority:highCritical bug or urgent feature
priority:mediumImportant but not blocking
priority:lowNice to have

Maintainer Approval Workflow

1. New issue arrives with status:needs-review
2. Review the issue — is it valid, clear, and in scope?
3. If YES → add status:approved label
4. If NO → comment with reason, close if needed
5. Contributor can now open a PR linking this issue

Decision Tree

Is it a bug?                    → Use Bug Report template
Is it a new feature/improvement? → Use Feature Request template
Is it a question?               → Use Discussions, NOT issues
Is it a duplicate?              → Link to existing issue, close

Commands

# Search existing issues before creating
gh issue list --search "keyword"

# Create bug report
gh issue create --template "bug_report.yml" --title "fix(scope): description"

# Create feature request
gh issue create --template "feature_request.yml" --title "feat(scope): description"

# Maintainer: approve an issue
