Issue Skill
Read a GitHub issue by number or URL, summarize it, then create a working branch.
Repository
alamenai/terrae — https://github.com/alamenai/terrae/issues
Arguments
The user provides either:
- An issue number (e.g.,
42)
- A GitHub issue URL (e.g.,
https://github.com/alamenai/terrae/issues/42)
If a URL is provided, extract the issue number from it.
Instructions
-
Fetch the Issue
- Run
gh issue view <number> --repo alamenai/terrae to read the issue
- If the issue doesn't exist, tell the user and stop
-
Summarize the Issue
- Display the issue title and number
- Summarize the description in 2-3 bullet points
- List any labels
- Note if there are linked PRs or assignees
-
Determine Branch Name
- Infer the type from labels or content:
bug label or bug description → fix/
enhancement or feature label → feat/
documentation label → docs/
- Otherwise →
feat/
- Build the branch name:
type/issue-number-short-description
- Keep the description part short (2-4 words, kebab-case)
- Examples:
feat/42-add-heatmap-component
fix/17-marker-memory-leak
docs/8-update-installation-guide
-
Create the Branch
- Make sure we're on
main and up to date: git checkout main && git pull
- Create and switch to the new branch:
git checkout -b <branch-name>
- Confirm the branch was created
-
Report
- Show the branch name
- Remind the user what the issue is about so they can start working
