What kind of label taxonomy does it support?

It supports a complete set of lifecycle labels (e.g., proposal:accepted), type labels (e.g., rfc, adr), and module scope labels to categorize work accurately.

How does this skill handle the source of truth?

It follows the principle that local markdown documents in the repository are the canonical source of truth, while GitHub issues and PRs serve as the collaboration and tracking layer.

Does it help with repository configuration?

Yes, it provides guidance on configuring .github/ templates and CODEOWNERS files to ensure they align with the project's documentation and module structure.

Is the GitHub Strategy skill directly invocable?

No, this is a background knowledge skill that automatically informs Claude's behavior whenever it encounters GitHub-related context or files.

Collaboration Tools

Synchronizes the Principled methodology with GitHub features like issues, pull requests, labels, and templates.

This skill provides Claude Code with a comprehensive framework for mapping specification-driven development—specifically the Principled methodology—to GitHub's native ecosystem. It enables Claude to intelligently manage the lifecycle of proposals, plans, and tasks by ensuring document-driven workflows are reflected in GitHub issues, pull requests, and standardized label taxonomies. By treating local markdown documentation as the canonical source of truth and GitHub as the collaboration layer, it streamlines project management and ensures consistent information capture through optimized .github templates and CODEOWNERS configurations.
