How does it identify which GitHub issue to update?

The skill typically uses your current branch name to identify the associated issue number via the provided sync script.

Can I prevent it from overwriting my entire issue body?

Yes, it is designed to only replace content between specific PLAN:START and PLAN:END markers to preserve your original issue context.

What happens if the planning markers are missing?

If the specific PLAN markers are not found in the issue description, the script will append the new plan to the end of the existing body.

Does this skill require the GitHub CLI?

Yes, the skill relies on the gh CLI and local scripts to authenticate and communicate with GitHub's API.
