GitHub Issue Creator
Overview
This Skill helps you create well-structured GitHub issues directly from conversation context. It automatically organizes complex work into parent issues with sub-tasks, ensuring nothing gets lost in discussion.
When to Use This Skill
Use this when you want to:
- Convert discussions into tracked work - Turn feature discussions into properly structured GitHub issues
- Break down complex features - Create parent issues with sub-tasks for multi-step work
- Organize related bugs - Group related issues under a parent for better tracking
- Track implementation work - Create issues aligned with the to-do tree structure
- Ensure work isn't forgotten - Proactively create issues after discussing features or improvements
How It Works
When you ask to create GitHub issues, I'll:
- Analyze the conversation context to understand what needs to be tracked
- Use the gh-issue-creator agent to create properly structured issues with:
- Clear, descriptive titles - Detailed descriptions with acceptance criteria - Parent/child relationships for complex work - Sub-tasks that align with the implementation plan
- Provide GitHub links so you can review and manage the issues
Example Usage
After Feature Discussion
"Create GitHub issues for the carrier onboarding feature we just discussed"Breaking Down Work
"Create a parent issue for the new billing workflow with sub-tasks for:
- POD receipt handling
- Invoice ready flag logic
- Payment tracking"Organizing Related Bugs
"Create a parent issue for the load status bugs with individual sub-tasks for each problem"From Existing Plan
"Create GitHub issues for the remaining work we discussed"Agent Delegation
When you request issue creation, I'll delegate to the gh-issue-creator agent, which has access to:
- Current conversation context
- Your repository structure
- GitHub CLI (
gh) for issue creation - Understanding of parent/child issue relationships
The agent will create issues that match your discussion and provide you with direct links to review them in GitHub.
Tips for Best Results
- Be specific about what features or bugs need tracking
- Mention sub-tasks if you want them broken down
- Reference earlier discussion - the agent has full conversation context
- Review the created issues using the GitHub links provided
