Which GitHub CLI extensions are required?

To handle issue hierarchies, you need to have the GitHub CLI installed along with the 'gh-sub-issue' extension.

What format do my specification files need to be in?

The skill is designed to work with markdown files located in a `./specs/` directory, ideally including YAML frontmatter to specify issue types.

Does this skill create GitHub issues immediately?

No, it creates a 'drafts' directory containing markdown files and a bash script. This allows you to review the content before running the script to create live issues.

Can I customize the issue templates?

Yes, the skill utilizes specific templates for Initiatives, Features, and Tasks, which can be modified to fit your project's specific reporting requirements.

About

The Spec Issues Skill streamlines project management by automating the conversion of markdown specification documents into actionable GitHub issues. It intelligently parses directories to identify work items as Initiatives, Features, or Tasks, generating both markdown drafts for review and a bash script for bulk creation. By integrating with the GitHub CLI and sub-issue extensions, it ensures that parent-child relationships are maintained, allowing developers to move from high-level planning to granular issue tracking without manual data entry.
