New Issue - Create GitHub Issue

Create a GitHub issue via gh issue create. You do the work directly.

Use --local for offline/private work in .devloop/issues/.

Step 1: Parse Arguments and Check GitHub

Check $ARGUMENTS for title/description and --local flag.

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-gh-setup.sh"

If preferred_method is "none":

• gh_installed: false: Display install instructions, fall back to --local
• gh_authenticated: false: Prompt gh auth login, fall back to --local

If "gh" or "curl": Continue to GitHub Mode (unless --local specified).

Step 2: GitHub Mode

2.1 Collect Info

AskUserQuestion:
  questions:
    - question: "What type of issue?"
      header: "Type"
      multiSelect: false
      options:
        - label: "Bug"
          description: "Something isn't working correctly"
        - label: "Feature"
          description: "New functionality or enhancement"
        - label: "Task"
          description: "General work item or chore"
    - question: "Add labels?"
      header: "Labels"
      multiSelect: true
      options:
        - label: "bug"
          description: "Bug fix"
        - label: "enhancement"
          description: "New feature or improvement"
        - label: "devloop"
          description: "Related to devloop plugin"
        - label: "documentation"
          description: "Documentation update"

Auto-add type label: Bug → "bug", Feature → "enhancement".

2.2 Title and Body

If no title in arguments, prompt for it. Then ask for description (what, why, context, acceptance criteria).

2.3 Create Issue

gh issue create \
  --title "${title}" \
  --body "${body}" \
  --label "${labels_comma_separated}" \
  --repo $(git remote get-url origin | sed 's/.*[:/]\([^/]*\/[^/]*\)\.git/\1/')

Parse issue URL and number from output.

2.4 Next Actions

AskUserQuestion:
  questions:
    - question: "Issue #N created. What next?"
      header: "Next"
      multiSelect: false
      options:
        - label: "Start work"
          description: "Create plan from this issue"
        - label: "Create more"
          description: "Create another issue"
        - label: "View issues"
          description: "List all open issues"
        - label: "Done"
          description: "Return to conversation"

Route: Start → /devloop:plan --from-issue N, More → loop, View → /devloop:issues, Done → exit.

Step 3: Local Mode

Only if --local specified or GitHub unavailable.

        - label: "Task"
          description: "General work item"
        - label: "Spike"
          description: "Research or investigation"
    - question: "Priority?"
      header: "Priority"
      multiSelect: false
      options:
        - label: "High"
          description: "Urgent"
        - label: "Medium (Recommended)"

        - label: "Low"
          description: "Nice to have"
      
       
       
      
          
           
          
           
          
           
          
           

3.2 Type-Specific Details

Bug: Severity (Critical/Major/Minor/Cosmetic) Feature/Task: Size estimate (XS/S/M/L) Spike: Depth (Quick/Standard/Deep)

3.3 Title and Description

If no title, prompt. Then ask for description.

3.4 Generate Issue ID

ls .devloop/issues/${TYPE}-*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l

Format: {TYPE}-{NUMBER} (e.g., FEAT-003).

3.5 Create Issue File

Write to .devloop/issues/${TYPE}-${NUMBER}.md:

---
id: ${TYPE}-${NUMBER}
type: ${type}
title: ${title}
status: open
priority: ${priority}
created: ${ISO_DATE}
labels: [${labels}]
---

# ${TYPE}-${NUMBER}: ${title}

## Description
${description}

## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] ${auto_criteria}

## Technical Notes
<!-- Implementation notes -->

## Resolution
<!-- Filled when done -->

3.6 Update Index

Add to .devloop/issues/index.md (create if needed).

3.7 Next Actions

Same as GitHub mode but for local issues.

---

Quick Mode

If $ARGUMENTS has 5+ words, enable quick mode:

1. Auto-detect type: "bug", "fix", "broken" → Bug; "add", "new", "feature" → Feature; else → Task
2. Extract title from arguments

GitHub: Prompt confirmation only, then create. Local: Create immediately.

Examples

/devloop:new                                          # Interactive GitHub
/devloop:new Fix login button not responding          # Quick mode GitHub
/devloop:new Add dark mode support                    # Quick mode GitHub
/devloop:new --local Private refactoring notes        # Local issue
/devloop:new --local                                  # Interactive local

Migration

• Default: GitHub issues (was local)
• Local: Use --local flag
• .devloop/issues/: Still supported for --local
