GitHub Issue Creator

Overview

This Skill helps you create well-structured GitHub issues directly from conversation context. It automatically organizes complex work into parent issues with sub-tasks, ensuring nothing gets lost in discussion.

When to Use This Skill

Use this when you want to:

• Convert discussions into tracked work - Turn feature discussions into properly structured GitHub issues
• Break down complex features - Create parent issues with sub-tasks for multi-step work
• Organize related bugs - Group related issues under a parent for better tracking
• Track implementation work - Create issues aligned with the to-do tree structure
• Ensure work isn't forgotten - Proactively create issues after discussing features or improvements

How It Works

When you ask to create GitHub issues, I'll:

1. Analyze the conversation context to understand what needs to be tracked
2. Use the gh-issue-creator agent to create properly structured issues with:
   • Clear, descriptive titles
   • Detailed descriptions with acceptance criteria
   • Parent/child relationships for complex work
   • Sub-tasks that align with the implementation plan
3. Provide GitHub links so you can review and manage the issues

Example Usage

After Feature Discussion

"Create GitHub issues for the carrier onboarding feature we just discussed"

Breaking Down Work

"Create a parent issue for the new billing workflow with sub-tasks for:
- POD receipt handling
- Invoice ready flag logic
- Payment tracking"

Organizing Related Bugs

"Create a parent issue for the load status bugs with individual sub-tasks for each problem"

From Existing Plan

"Create GitHub issues for the remaining work we discussed"

Agent Delegation

When you request issue creation, I'll delegate to the gh-issue-creator agent, which has access to:

• Current conversation context
• Your repository structure
• GitHub CLI (gh) for issue creation
• Understanding of parent/child issue relationships

The agent will create issues that match your discussion and provide you with direct links to review them in GitHub.

Tips for Best Results

• Be specific about what features or bugs need tracking
• Mention sub-tasks if you want them broken down
• Reference earlier discussion - the agent has full conversation context
• Review the created issues using the GitHub links provided

Integration with Workflow

This Skill works seamlessly with:

• Todo lists - Convert completed todos into documented issues
• Planning discussions - Create issues from implementation plans
• Bug reports - Track bugs with proper sub-task breakdown
• Feature requests - Organize feature work into manageable pieces
