GitHub Project Management
Manage GitHub issues, boards, and sprints — optionally coordinated by a claude-flow agent swarm. Issue work goes through the gh CLI; swarm orchestration through mcp__claude-flow__* tools.
When Not To Use
- PR-level code review with security/performance agents → github-code-review
- Release versioning, changelogs, deployment pipelines → github-release-management
- GitHub Actions workflow creation and CI/CD setup → github-workflow-automation
- Cross-repository coordination and package sync → github-multi-repo
- General task orchestration outside GitHub → swarm-advanced
Quick Start
gh issue create \
--title "Feature: Advanced Authentication" \
--body "Implement OAuth2 with social login..." \
--label "enhancement,swarm-ready"
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks pre-task --description "Feature implementation"
Board setup:
PROJECT_ID=$(gh project list --owner @me --format json | jq -r '.projects[0].id')
npx ruv-swarm github board-init --project-id "$PROJECT_ID" --sync-mode "bidirectional"
