Outline
- Run
.specify/scripts/bash/check-prerequisites.sh --json --require-tasks --include-tasks from repo root and parse FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS list. All paths must be absolute. For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
- From the executed script, extract the path to tasks.
- Get the Git remote by running:
git config --get remote.origin.url
[!CAUTION]
ONLY PROCEED TO NEXT STEPS IF THE REMOTE IS A GITHUB URL
- For each task in the list, use the GitHub MCP server to create a new issue in the repository that is representative of the Git remote.
[!CAUTION]
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES EVER CREATE ISSUES IN REPOSITORIES THAT DO NOT MATCH THE REMOTE URL
