What create-github-issue-feature-from-specification does

The skill reads the specification at ${file} and extracts its requirements. It searches existing GitHub issues with search_issues; if a matching issue exists, it updates it with update_issue, otherwise it creates one with create_issue.

It uses the feature_request.yml template, falling back to the default template. The issue includes the feature name, problem statement, proposed solution, and context. Labels such as feature and enhancement are applied as appropriate. The skill creates one issue for the complete specification and limits its contents to changes the specification calls for.

Install it when you want to turn a full specification into a single GitHub issue. It is a poor fit when each requirement should become its own task.

What it helps with

  • turn requirements in a specification into a GitHub issue
  • check for matching issues before creating a request
  • update an existing issue instead of duplicating it
  • format a feature request with feature_request.yml

Example prompts for the agent

  • Create a GitHub issue from the specification at `${file}`.
  • Check for similar issues and update an existing one if there is a match.
  • Use `feature_request.yml` and apply the appropriate labels.
