Does this skill create actual GitHub issues?

Yes, it uses the GitHub CLI to programmatically create, label, and link sub-issues directly in your repository.

Can it handle complex dependencies between tasks?

Yes, the skill identifies natural boundaries and sequencing, mapping out which sub-issues block others to ensure work proceeds in the correct order.

How does it help with project management?

It automatically adds sub-issues to your GitHub Project, assigns labels, sets dependencies, and updates the parent issue with a progress checklist.

When should I use the Issue Decomposition skill?

Use it whenever an issue has more than five acceptance criteria, touches more than three unrelated code areas, or exceeds the AI's context window threshold.

生产力与工作流

Breaks complex GitHub issues into granular, manageable sub-tasks with automated linking and documentation.

关于

The Issue Decomposition skill streamlines the software development lifecycle by identifying and splitting oversized tasks into focused, actionable units. By evaluating criteria such as context window limits and code complexity, it automatically generates linked sub-issues via the GitHub CLI, establishes dependency mappings, and updates parent issues with progress tracking. This ensures that Claude and human developers can work within manageable scope boundaries, reducing context overflow and improving project velocity through a structured, issue-driven workflow.
