GitHub Elements Tracking FAQs

Question 1

When should I use this skill?

Accepted Answer

Use this skill when managing complex epics, coordinating multiple AI agents, or when you need Claude to 'remember' project details across different sessions. It is ideal for 'claiming' issues, posting progress checkpoints, and managing high-fidelity work logs.

Question 2

What are GHE_REPORTS?

Accepted Answer

GHE_REPORTS are mandatory, timestamped logs generated by the AI agents. They are posted to both GitHub issue threads and a local directory, providing a real-time 'pulse' of the project and ensuring that work logs are never lost during cleanup or compaction.

Question 3

How does this skill improve my AI coding workflow?

Accepted Answer

It enforces a 'Sacred Order' workflow (DEV-TEST-REVIEW) and utilizes specialized AI agents (like Athena and Hephaestus) to ensure every contribution is verified, tested, and documented. This prevents context loss and maintains a clear audit trail of all AI actions.

Question 4

What does the GitHub Elements Tracking skill do?

Accepted Answer

This skill transforms GitHub Issues and Comments into a persistent memory layer for Claude Code. It allows the AI to store long-term context, track work across multiple sessions, and survive context exhaustion by using GitHub as a permanent knowledge bank.

Question 5

What is the role of SERENA MCP in this skill?

Accepted Answer

SERENA MCP integrates with this skill to act as a project-level memory bank. It handles large document storage and project-wide context that might exceed standard GitHub comment limits, ensuring the AI always has access to the 'big picture' of your codebase.
