Ki Work Github Issues

Defines the configuration and safety guidance for GitHub Issues as a Knowledge Islands change-management adapter: mutable issue locators, lifecycle metadata, review, closure, hierarchy, dependencies, and remote-write authority. Use when a repository configures GitHub Issues as its tracker or needs guidance for a future authorised remote operation. Remote process execution fails closed pending KI-HARNESS-FND-014. For local files use ki-work-roadmap; for Linear use ki-work-linear.

KI GitHub Issues change management

This skill configures and explains one GitHub repository's Issues as a future forward-work adapter. It does not mirror Issues into a local roadmap, resolve remote work for a process, or make remote writes. Until KI-HARNESS-FND-014 delivers selected-adapter resolution and authorised remote execution, a shared process selecting this adapter stops rather than guessing a local path or GitHub operation.

<owner>/<repository>#<number> is the current mutable locator, not durable cross-transfer identity. GitHub can transfer an open Issue, changing its repository namespace and potentially its number; retain the prior locator as historical alias evidence and re-resolve the current locator before any future operation.

Read the GitHub Issues adapter standard before configuring or operating the adapter. Read the generated rubric for the checkable configuration contract.

Operating modes

Carries the universal AUDIT · CONFORM · EDUCATE · REFRESH modes. help / -h / ? describes the adapter and stops.

Mode AUDIT

Run ki repo audit --skill ki-work-github-issues --repo <repo>. It verifies the declared GitHub repository, required lifecycle metadata mapping, and rejects undeclared keys. It cannot confirm remote authentication, repository access, Issue-versus-pull-request filtering, current locators, or remote metadata; AUDIT never calls GitHub.

Mode CONFORM

Run ki repo conform --skill ki-work-github-issues --repo <repo> --dry-run. It has no remote operation and proposes no remote mutation. It never creates, edits, closes, labels, transfers, archives, or deletes an Issue.

Mode EDUCATE

Explain the configuration, lifecycle metadata mapping, mutable-locator migration stop, and no-remote-execution boundary. Do not route a shared process through GitHub until KI-HARNESS-FND-014 supplies the authorised resolver and executor.

Mode REFRESH

Precondition: REFRESH writes only this canonical skill in ki-agentic-harness. From an installed copy, stop and redirect to the Harness. Re-fetch every primary source in the source record when GitHub changes Issue identity, transfer, fields, hierarchy, dependency, closure, permissions, or API semantics, or when the common lifecycle gains a state that cannot be mapped without ambiguity.
