How does this differ from standard GitHub CLI issue management?

Standard CLI handles basic issue operations, but this skill uses the GraphQL API to manage formal sub-issues and complex hierarchies that the 'gh' command doesn't natively support.

Do these relationships appear in the GitHub web interface?

Yes, sub-issues created with this skill are fully integrated with the GitHub UI, including the sub-issue progress bars and hierarchical sidebar navigation.

Can I track dependencies between issues that aren't parent/child?

Yes, this skill provides capabilities to view blocking and blocked-by relationships, allowing you to manage complex dependency graphs across different issues.

Is there a limit to how deep I can nest issues?

While technically possible to go deeper, it is best practice to keep hierarchies to 2-3 levels (e.g., Epic > Feature > Task) to ensure the project remains manageable.

Can I have multiple parents for a single issue?

No, GitHub's sub-issue system allows only one parent per issue. This skill includes tools to detect existing parents and a flag to replace them if needed.

コラボレーションツール

Manages complex GitHub issue structures, including parent-child hierarchies and dependencies, using the GraphQL API.

This skill empowers Claude to go beyond the standard GitHub CLI by leveraging the GraphQL API to create and manage advanced issue relationships. It provides specialized capabilities for building multi-level hierarchies (Epics and sub-issues), tracking blocking dependencies, and querying full relationship graphs. It is essential for teams managing complex project roadmaps, nested task structures, or dependency-heavy workflows directly from their terminal, ensuring that issue progress rollups and hierarchical navigation are correctly configured in the GitHub UI.
