Can I review the issue before it is published?

Absolutely. The skill always presents the full draft of the title and body for your review and approval before running the creation command.

How does it handle large or complex tasks?

If an issue requires more than 7 acceptance criteria, the skill will recommend splitting it into smaller, independently shippable issues to maintain project velocity.

Can it automatically assign labels?

Yes, the skill suggests standard labels for type, size, and priority, and can automatically create them using 'gh label create' if they don't already exist.

Does this skill require the GitHub CLI?

Yes, the GitHub CLI (gh) must be installed and authenticated on your system for the skill to interact with your repositories and create issues.
