Manages the end-to-end lifecycle of GitHub issues through structured state transitions and code integration patterns.

The gh-issue-lifecycle skill provides a standardized framework for managing GitHub issues from creation to resolution. It defines a clear state machine (triage, accepted, in-progress, blocked, completed) and establishes best practices for connecting code changes to these issues through semantic branch naming and automated PR linking. Ideal for teams looking to maintain high repository hygiene, this skill helps Claude navigate project management tasks by enforcing consistent labeling, standardized closing reasons, and automated bulk cleanup operations.
