Close Issue

Close Issue

Close a GitHub or GitLab issue with an appropriate closing comment summarizing the resolution.

Provider detection: Check the URL or remote to determine the VCS provider:

• If GitHub → use gh issue close / gh issue comment
• If GitLab → use glab issue close / glab issue note

Arguments

• issue-number-or-url: Either an issue number (e.g., 123) or a full issue URL

Workflow

1. Parse the input — if given a URL, extract owner, repo, and issue number. If just a number, use the current repo context.
2. Ensure repo is cloned to /workspace/personal/<repo-name> (clone with gh repo clone if needed).
3. Get issue details — read the issue title, body, comments, and check for related PRs.
4. Generate closing comment — summarize what was done, reference related PRs/commits, note any follow-ups.
5. Post comment and close:

   gh issue close <issue-number> --comment "Your closing comment" --reason completed
   

Closing Reasons

• completed — The issue was resolved
• not_planned — Won't fix / out of scope / duplicate

Tips

• Always explain why the issue is being closed
• Reference specific PRs or commits when applicable
• If closing as "not planned", explain the reasoning
