Github Issue Processing

GitHub Issue Processing

This skill provides patterns for extracting and structuring information from GitHub issues.

Information Extraction Pattern

When processing a GitHub issue, extract:

1. Core Requirements

## Requirements
- Primary objective
- User stories or use cases
- Expected behavior

2. Technical Details

## Technical Context
- Affected components/modules
- Current behavior vs. desired behavior
- Stack traces or error messages (if applicable)
- Environment details

3. Acceptance Criteria

## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Criterion 1: Specific, testable condition
- [ ] Criterion 2: Specific, testable condition
- [ ] Criterion 3: Specific, testable condition

4. Constraints

## Constraints
- Performance requirements
- Backward compatibility needs
- Security considerations
- Dependencies on other issues/PRs

Labels Interpretation

Common GitHub labels and their implications:

• bug: Fix existing functionality, requires root cause analysis
• enhancement: Add new functionality, may need design review
• documentation: Update docs, ensure accuracy and completeness
• breaking-change: Impacts existing API, needs migration guide
• help-wanted: Good for community contribution, provide clear guidance
• priority: high: Address urgently, may need expedited review

Issue Linking

Extract and track related issues:

## Related Issues
- Blocks: #123, #456
- Blocked by: #789
- Related to: #321
- Duplicate of: (if applicable)

Converting to PRP

Transform issue analysis into PRP format:

1. Prompt: Use issue title and description
2. Response: Include analysis and proposed approach
3. Plan: Break down into actionable steps with dependencies

Integration Points

Works with:

• context-engineering-github-issue-analyzer agent
• context-engineering-prp-generator agent for issue → PRP conversion
• /initial-github-issue command
