How does the skill identify sub-tasks?

The skill uses AI to analyze the original issue's title, description, and comments to find distinct units of work, technical boundaries, and logical dependencies between tasks.

Will the sub-issues inherit labels from the parent?

Yes, by default the skill inherits labels from the original issue, and the AI can also suggest specific additional labels based on the sub-task's content.

Does it automatically close the original issue?

No, it keeps the original issue open and creates 'relates_to' links to the new sub-issues, allowing you to maintain a high-level view while tracking granular progress.

Can I review the sub-tasks before they are created in GitLab?

Yes, the skill presents an interactive preview table showing proposed titles, labels, and weights. You can approve the plan, modify it, or cancel the operation.

Does it support custom GitLab instances?

Yes, it works with any GitLab instance (public or self-hosted) as long as it is configured in your .issue-config.json and accessible via the GitLab MCP server.

Decomposes complex GitLab issues into manageable sub-tasks using AI semantic analysis and discussion history.

GitLab Issue Splitter is an intelligent skill for Claude Code designed to streamline project management by breaking down monolithic GitLab issues into smaller, actionable sub-issues. By leveraging AI to analyze issue descriptions, comments, and technical boundaries, it automatically identifies logical work units, suggests complexity weights, and maintains parent-child relationships via GitLab's linking system. This tool is essential for developers and project managers looking to improve task clarity, track progress more granularly, and automate the tedious manual process of creating related tickets and cross-referencing them.
