GitHub Issue Management

About

Streamlines the GitHub Issue workflow by treating issues, metadata, and comments as local files for a more robust editing experience. By utilizing the gh-issue-agent tool, this skill allows users to pull issue content to a local cache, perform precise edits with clear diff visibility, and push changes back to GitHub with built-in safety checks. It is particularly useful for complex issue refactoring, bulk label updates, and managing comment threads without navigating the web interface or using cumbersome CLI commands, offering features like dry-runs to preview changes before they go live.
