Does this require the GitHub CLI (gh)?

Yes, the skill uses the GitHub CLI to interact with your repositories. You must be authenticated via 'gh auth login' for the skill to function.

Can I update an existing issue instead of creating a new one?

Yes, by using the --update flag, you can modify an existing issue's title and body with new context or implementation details.

How does the skill determine which tags to use?

It reads the docs/git-msg-tags.md file in your project root to ensure issues follow your specific repository tagging conventions and organizational standards.

Can I automate issue creation without manual confirmation?

Yes, the skill supports an --auto flag, designed for ultra-planner workflows, which skips the manual confirmation step before pushing the issue to GitHub.

Does it support different issue types like bugs or features?

Absolutely. It uses logic to distinguish between bug reports, feature requests, and technical implementation plans, applying unique prefixes and structure to each.

Collaboration Tools

Automates the creation and updating of well-formatted GitHub issues directly from development conversations and implementation plans.

The open-issue skill streamlines the transition from discussion to documentation by automatically generating GitHub issues from conversation context. It handles complex formatting requirements, including title prefixing based on issue types like bug reports or feature requests, and integrates seamlessly with implementation plans. By enforcing a standardized structure—including detailed descriptions, reproduction steps, and proposed solutions—it ensures that issues are actionable and consistent with project-specific tagging conventions defined in the repository's documentation.
