Github Issue

GitHub Issue

Overview

Turn rough requests into high-quality GitHub issues with clear delivery criteria, then create the issue via GitHub CLI.

Workflow

1. Confirm GitHub CLI access.
2. Determine target repository.
3. Convert input into a structured issue body.
4. Create the issue with gh issue create.
5. Return the issue URL plus a concise summary of assumptions.

Preconditions

• Run gh auth status before issue creation.
• Use explicit repo when provided (--repo owner/repo).
• Otherwise use current repository context.
• Do not use web UI for creation unless user explicitly requests it.

Issue Quality Standard

Always include these sections in issue body markdown:

• ## Goal
• ## Background
• ## Scope
• ## Requirements
• ## Acceptance Criteria
• ## Constraints
• ## Out of Scope
• ## Done When

Write requirements as concrete bullets. Write acceptance criteria as testable outcomes.

Missing Information Policy

• Infer sensible defaults for non-critical gaps and list them under Assumptions.
• Ask one blocking question only when repo target or core objective is unknown.
• Challenge vague requests by tightening scope and criteria instead of copying ambiguity.

Execution Pattern

Use a temporary markdown file to avoid shell quoting issues.

cat > /tmp/github-issue.md <<'EOF'
## Goal
...
EOF

gh issue create \
  --title "<clear action-oriented title>" \
  --body-file /tmp/github-issue.md

Use explicit repository when needed:

gh issue create \
  --repo owner/repo \
  --title "<clear action-oriented title>" \
  --body-file /tmp/github-issue.md

Response Contract

After creation, always provide:

• Issue URL
• Repo used
• Final title
• Assumptions made
