Does this skill require external tools?

Yes, it requires the GitHub CLI (gh) to be installed and authenticated on your local machine to fetch repository data.

Can I filter which issues are recommended?

Yes, you can filter recommendations by specific GitHub labels, milestones, or choose to include open pull requests in the analysis.

Does it understand issue dependencies?

Yes, it scans issue bodies for references like 'depends on #N' or 'blocked by #N' to build a dependency graph and prioritize tasks that unblock other work.

How does it detect work already in progress?

The skill checks your local git branches, worktrees, issue assignments, and any 'in progress' labels to ensure it doesn't suggest tasks you've already started.
