How do I filter for specific types of issues?

You can use the --label flag to filter by categories like 'bug' or 'enhancement' and the --state flag to toggle between open, closed, or all issues.

Is there a limit to how many issues I can retrieve?

By default, the skill returns 15 results to keep the context manageable, but you can adjust this using the --limit argument.

Can I search private repositories using this skill?

Yes, as long as your environment is authenticated with GitHub and has the necessary permissions to access those specific repositories.

What is the difference between compact and detailed formats?

Compact format provides a quick list of titles and IDs, while detailed format includes full issue descriptions, metadata, and potential workarounds.

Do I need the GitHub CLI (gh) installed to use this?

While it is recommended for better accuracy and performance, the skill includes a web search fallback if the CLI is not available in your environment.

协作工具

Searches GitHub issues and discussions across any repository to find bugs, feature requests, and technical solutions.

The GitHub Issue Search skill enables developers to query the vast ecosystem of GitHub issues directly within their Claude Code environment. By interfacing with the GitHub CLI (gh) or falling back to web-based search, it allows for sophisticated filtering by labels, states, and keywords. This skill is essential for researching existing bugs, finding community workarounds, or checking the status of feature requests without leaving the terminal, significantly streamlining the research and debugging phases of software development.
