Can I edit the issue before it is published to GitHub?

Absolutely. The skill is designed to present a full draft of the title and body for your review, allowing you to make adjustments before the final 'gh issue create' command is executed.

Does this skill require the GitHub CLI to be installed?

Yes, this skill uses the GitHub CLI (gh) to interact with your repositories. You must have it installed and be authenticated via 'gh auth status' for the skill to function.

Can it automatically generate labels?

Yes, the skill can check for existing labels and create standard ones (like type: bug, size: medium, or priority: high) using 'gh label create' if they are missing from your repository.

What happens if an issue is too large?

The skill monitors the number of acceptance criteria. If a task exceeds 7 items, it will recommend splitting the issue into multiple, smaller concerns to ensure they remain reviewable and shippable.
