Automates the end-to-end resolution of GitHub issues by spawning autonomous AI workers in isolated git worktrees.
The Issue Worker skill streamlines the development lifecycle by delegating GitHub issue resolution to autonomous Claude workers. By utilizing git worktrees, the skill enables parallel task execution in isolated environments, ensuring that background tasks do not interfere with your primary workspace. It manages the entire process—from fetching issue metadata and creating feature branches to implementing code, running tests, pushing changes, and opening pull requests with automated merge options. This is a powerful tool for maintaining repositories, clearing bug backlogs, and scaling development throughput without manual context switching.
