About This Skill
The github-issues skill enables AI agents to interact directly with GitHub issue tracking systems. It allows agents to read, update, and manage issues within repositories to streamline project management workflows.
When to use it
- Automatically triaging incoming bug reports by assigning them to the correct team member based on severity.
- Generating weekly status summaries of open issues for stakeholders without manual reporting.
- Closing resolved tasks in GitHub once an AI agent confirms a fix has been deployed.
- Searching repositories for specific keywords or labels to identify recurring technical debt.
Key capabilities
- Read and list issues from connected GitHub repositories.
- Create new issues with custom titles, descriptions, and labels.
- Update existing issue status, comments, and assignees.
- Close or reopen issues based on defined logic.
Example prompts
- "Find all open issues labeled 'bug' in the main repository and summarize their current status."
- "Create a new issue titled 'Login failure on mobile' with priority 'high' and assign it to @dev-team."
- "Close any issues that have been resolved in the last 24 hours based on recent commit messages."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your AI agent has valid GitHub API credentials with sufficient permissions (e.g., repo scope) to perform write actions like creating or closing issues. This skill is specific to GitHub and cannot be used for issue tracking on other platforms like GitLab or Jira.
