Can I add a custom message when closing an issue?

Yes, the close-issue operation includes an optional 'close_comment' parameter that posts your message to the issue before closing it.

Can I reopen an issue using this skill?

Currently, the 'reopen-issue' operation is pending implementation in the underlying Fractary CLI and will return a NOT_IMPLEMENTED error if invoked.

Does State Manager support both GitHub and GitLab?

Yes, by delegating to the Fractary CLI, the State Manager skill provides platform-agnostic execution for supported version control platforms.

What are the technical requirements for this skill?

You must have @fractary/cli version 0.3.0 or higher and 'jq' installed in your environment for JSON parsing.

How does it handle complex workflow states like 'In Review'?

For platforms like GitHub, the skill currently supports the 'closed' state directly. For intermediate states, it is recommended to use labels until further CLI updates are released.
