Can I customize the issue templates?

Yes, the skill is designed to work with YAML templates located in your repository's templates directory (e.g., epic.yml and story.yml).

What does the DEEP estimation methodology refer to?

DEEP stands for 'Days, not hours,' a methodology that encourages estimating complexity at a strategic level to avoid the pitfalls of granular micro-estimation during early planning.

How does this skill integrate with GitHub?

It uses the GitHub CLI to create issues based on pre-defined YAML templates for epics and stories, applying relevant labels and milestones automatically.

What is the benefit of using Gherkin in this skill?

Gherkin provides a structured Given/When/Then format for acceptance criteria, ensuring requirements are clear, testable, and aligned with user expectations.
