load-issues — Claude Code skill: export open issues to markdown

The skill pulls every open issue from the current repository with gh and writes each one to its own markdown file. Handy when you want tasks outside GitHub.

What load-issues does

The skill walks through the open issues of the current repository and saves each one as a separate file. It first lists them with gh issue list --limit 100, then fetches details per number: title, body, state, dates, author, labels, assignees and URL. Everything lands in ./specs/issues/.

File names follow <number padded to 3 digits>-<kebab-case-title>.md, for example 007-make-code-review-trigger-on-sql-sh-changes.md. Each file holds the issue heading, a metadata block, the description, labels and assignees. When it finishes, the skill reports how many issues were loaded and which files it created.

You need an installed and authenticated gh CLI — without it there is no list and no details. The ./specs/issues directory is created if missing. The listing caps at one hundred issues per run, so in repositories with more open tasks some will be left out; worth checking whether the numbers you care about made it into the export.

What it helps with

  • export open repository issues to markdown
  • hand tasks to an agent without GitHub access
  • collect labels and assignees per issue in one file
  • keep a local copy of issues for text search
  • prepare a task list for review in an editor

Example prompts for the agent

  • load all open issues into ./specs/issues
  • fetch the repository issues and save them as markdown
  • show how many open issues were loaded and which files were created
