How does the skill link a local file to a GitHub issue?

It uses a hidden HTML comment marker ( ) within the GitHub issue body to track the relationship between the document and the issue.

Does this skill modify my local Markdown files?

No, local documents remain the source of truth. The skill only reads your local files to create or update the corresponding issues on GitHub.

How are GitHub labels handled?

The skill automatically maps document statuses to labels; for example, proposals are tagged with 'type:rfc' and plans with 'type:plan', along with their current lifecycle status.

What are the prerequisites for using this skill?

You must have the GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated on your machine, and your local repository must have a configured GitHub remote.

Can I preview changes before they are pushed to GitHub?

Yes, you can use the --dry-run flag with the /sync-issues command to see exactly what would be created or updated without making actual changes.
