# Issue Resolve

> Unified issue resolution pipeline with source selection. Plan issues via AI exploration, convert from artifacts, import from brainstorm sessions, or form execution queues. Triggers on "issue:plan", "issue:queue", "issue:convert-to-plan", "issue:from-brainstorm", "resolve issue", "plan issue", "queue issues", "convert plan to issue".

# Issue Resolve

Unified issue resolution pipeline that orchestrates solution creation from multiple sources and queue formation for execution.

```

## Key Design Principles

1. **Source-Driven Routing**: AskUserQuestion selects workflow, then load single phase
2. **Progressive Phase Loading**: Only read the selected phase document
3. **CLI-First Data Access**: All issue/solution CRUD via `ccw issue` CLI commands
4. **Auto Mode Support**: `-y` flag skips source selection (defaults to Explore & Plan)

## Auto Mode

When `--yes` or `-y`: Skip source selection, use Explore & Plan for issue IDs, or auto-detect source type for paths.

## Usage

```
Skill(skill="issue-resolve", args="<task description or issue IDs>")
Skill(skill="issue-resolve", args="[FLAGS] \"<input>\"")

# Flags
-y, --yes              Skip all confirmations (auto mode)
--source <type>        Pre-select source: plan|convert|brainstorm|queue
--batch-size <n>       Max issues per agent batch (plan mode, default: 3)
--issue <id>           Bind to existing issue (convert mode)
--supplement           Add tasks to existing solution (convert mode)
--queues <n>           Number of parallel queues (queue mode, default: 1)

# Examples
Skill(skill="issue-resolve", args="GH-123,GH-124")                              # Explore & plan issues
Skill(skill="issue-resolve", args="--source plan --all-pending")                 # Plan all pending issues
Skill(skill="issue-resolve", args="--source convert \".workflow/.lite-plan/my-plan\"")  # Convert artifact
Skill(skill="issue-resolve", args="--source brainstorm SESSION=\"BS-rate-limiting\"")   # From brainstorm
Skill(skill="issue-resolve", args="--source queue")                              # Form execution queue
Skill(skill="issue-resolve", args="-y GH-123")                                  # Auto mode, plan single issue
```

## Execution Flow

```
Input Parsing:
   └─ Parse flags (--source, -y, --issue, etc.) and positional args

Source Selection:
   ├─ --source flag provided → Route directly
   ├─ Auto-detect from input:
   │   ├─ Issue IDs (GH-xxx, ISS-xxx) → Explore & Plan
   │   ├─ SESSION="..." → From Brainstorm
   │   ├─ File/folder path → Convert from Artifact
   │   └─ No input or --all-pending → Explore & Plan (all pending)
   └─ Otherwise → AskUserQuestion to select source

Phase Execution (load one phase):
   ├─ Phase 1: Explore & Plan    → phases/01-issue-plan.md
   ├─ Phase 2: Convert Artifact  → phases/02-convert-to-plan.md
   ├─ Phase 3: From Brainstorm   → phases/03-from-brainstorm.md
   └─ Phase 4: Form Queue        → phases/04-issue-queue.md

Post-Phase:
   └─ Summary + Next steps recommendation
```

### Phase Reference Documents

| Phase | Document | Load When | Purpose |
|-------|----------|-----------|---------|
| Phase 1 | [phases/01-issue-plan.md](phases/01-issue-plan.md) | Source = Explore & Plan | Batch plan issues via issue-plan-agent |
| Phase 2 | [phases/02-convert-to-plan.md](phases/02-convert-to-plan.md) | Source = Convert Artifact | Convert lite-plan/session/markdown to solutions |
| Phase 3 | [phases/03-from-brainstorm.md](phases/03-from-brainstorm.md) | Source = From Brainstorm | Convert brainstorm ideas to issue + solution |
| Phase 4 | [phases/04-issue-queue.md](phases/04-issue-queue.md) | Source = Form Queue | Order bound solutions into execution queue |

## Core Rules

1. **Source Selection First**: Always determine source before loading any phase
2. **Single Phase Load**: Only read the selected phase document, never load all phases
3. **CLI Data Access**: Use `ccw issue` CLI for all issue/solution operations, NEVER read files directly
4. **Content Preservation**: Each phase contains complete execution logic from original commands
5. **Auto-Detect Input**: Smart input parsing reduces need for explicit --source flag

## Input Processing

### Auto-Detection Logic

```javascript
function detectSource(input, flags) {
  // 1. Explicit --source flag
  if (flags.source) return flags.source;

  // 2. Auto-detect from input content
  const trimmed = input.trim();

  // Issue IDs pattern (GH-xxx, ISS-xxx, comma-separated)
  if (trimmed.match(/^[A-Z]+-\d+/i) || trimmed.includes(',')) {
    return 'plan';
  }

  // --all-pending or empty input → plan all pending
  if (flags.allPending || trimmed === '') {
    return 'plan';
  }

  // SESSION="..." pattern → brainstorm
  if (trimmed.includes('SESSION=')) {
    return 'brainstorm';
  }

  // File/folder path → convert
  if (trimmed.match(/\.(md|json)$/) || trimmed.includes('.workflow/')) {
    return 'convert';
  }

  // Cannot auto-detect → ask user
  return null;
}
```

### Source Selection (AskUserQuestion)

```javascript
// When source cannot be auto-detected
const answer = AskUserQuestion({
  questions: [{
    question: "How would you like to create/manage issue solutions?",
    header: "Source",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      {
        label: "Explore & Plan (Recommended)",
        description: "AI explores codebase and generates solutions for issues"
      },
      {
        label: "Convert from Artifact",
        description: "Convert existing lite-plan, workflow session, or markdown to solution"
      },
      {
        label: "From Brainstorm",
        description: "Convert brainstorm session ideas into issue with solution"
      },
      {
        label: "Form Execution Queue",
        description: "Order bound solutions into execution queue for /issue:execute"
      }
    ]
  }]
});

// Route based on selection
const sourceMap = {
  "Explore & Plan": "plan",
  "Convert from Artifact": "convert",
  "From Brainstorm": "brainstorm",
  "Form Execution Queue": "queue"
};
```

## Data Flow

```
User Input (issue IDs / artifact path / session ID / flags)
    ↓
[Parse Flags + Auto-Detect Source]
    ↓
[Source Selection] ← AskUserQuestion (if needed)
    ↓
[Read Selected Phase Document]
    ↓
[Execute Phase Logic]
    ↓
[Summary + Next Steps]
    ├─ After Plan/Convert/Brainstorm → Suggest /issue:queue or /issue:execute
    └─ After Queue → Suggest /issue:execute
```

## TodoWrite Pattern

```json
[
  {"content": "Select issue source", "status": "completed"},
  {"content": "Execute: [selected phase name]", "status": "in_progress"},
  {"content": "Summary & next steps", "status": "pending"}
]
```

Phase-specific sub-tasks are attached when the phase executes (see individual phase docs for details).

## Core Guidelines

**Data Access Principle**: Issues and solutions files can grow very large. To avoid context overflow:

| Operation | Correct | Incorrect |
|-----------|---------|-----------|
| List issues (brief) | `ccw issue list --status pending --brief` | `Read('issues.jsonl')` |
| Read issue details | `ccw issue status <id> --json` | `Read('issues.jsonl')` |
| Update status | `ccw issue update <id> --status ...` | Direct file edit |
| Bind solution | `ccw issue bind <id> <sol-id>` | Direct file edit |
| Batch solutions | `ccw issue solutions --status planned --brief` | Loop individual queries |

**Output Options**:
- `--brief`: JSON with minimal fields (orchestrator use)
- `--json`: Full JSON (agent use only)

**ALWAYS** use CLI commands for CRUD operations. **NEVER** read entire `issues.jsonl` or `solutions/*.jsonl` directly.

## Error Handling

| Error | Resolution |
|-------|------------|
| No source detected | Show AskUserQuestion with all 4 options |
| Invalid source type | Show available sources, re-prompt |
| Phase execution fails | Report error, suggest manual intervention |
| No pending issues (plan) | Suggest `/issue:new` to create issues first |
| No bound solutions (queue) | Suggest running plan/convert/brainstorm first |

## Post-Phase Next Steps

After successful phase execution, recommend next action:

```javascript
// After Plan/Convert/Brainstorm (solutions created)
AskUserQuestion({
  questions: [{
    question: "Solutions created. What next?",
    header: "Next",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Form Queue", description: "Order solutions for execution (/issue:queue)" },
      { label: "Plan More Issues", description: "Continue creating solutions" },
      { label: "View Issues", description: "Review issue details" },
      { label: "Done", description: "Exit workflow" }
    ]
  }]
});

// After Queue (queue formed)
// → Suggest /issue:execute directly
```
