What speckit-taskstoissues does

The skill reads tasks.md in a spec-kit project and opens one GitHub issue per task. Titles follow the T001: <description> pattern, so task order and links stay visible in the issue list.

Before creating anything, it queries list_issues through the GitHub MCP server and skips IDs that already have an issue. That matters when you re-run it after regenerating tasks.md. It only proceeds if git remote points at GitHub — on another host the later steps stop.

You need the GitHub MCP server and a spec-kit layout with a .specify/ directory. The skill is deprecated: on start it prints a warning and suggests the github extension instead — specify extension add github, then /speckit-github-taskstoissues. It does not install the extension on its own and does not halt.

What it helps with

  • turn tasks from tasks.md into GitHub issues
  • keep task order and dependencies visible in the tracker
  • avoid duplicate issues when the skill runs again
  • create issues only for tasks that lack one
  • tie feature tasks to the repo from git remote

Example prompts for the agent

  • /speckit-taskstoissues
  • /speckit-taskstoissues label:backend
  • /speckit-taskstoissues only tasks from US1
