How does this skill handle issue dependencies?

The skill creates issues in a logical order and then uses the GitHub CLI to edit the issue bodies, adding cross-references and 'Depends on' notes to maintain a clear work sequence.

Does this skill work with private GitHub repositories?

Yes, it utilizes your local GitHub CLI (gh) authentication. As long as you are logged in and have access to the repo, the skill can manage its project scope.

What happens if a project is too large for one milestone?

The skill follows a guideline to split the scope into multiple milestones if the decomposition yields more than 20 issues, ensuring projects remain manageable.

Can I review the plan before it creates GitHub issues?

Yes, the workflow includes a mandatory validation step where the AI presents the full decomposition plan for your approval before executing any creation commands.

Transforms high-level project goals into structured GitHub milestones, sequenced issues, and clear dependency maps.

GitHub Project Scoper is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to automate the transition from a broad feature idea to a concrete execution plan within GitHub. It intelligently decomposes complex epics into vertically sliced, independently shippable units of work, creates necessary milestones and labels, and establishes cross-referenced dependency links between issues. By enforcing best practices like outcome-focused acceptance criteria and explicit out-of-scope definitions, this skill ensures that project scoping is methodical, transparent, and ready for immediate development.
