When NOT To Use
- A single-file fix obvious enough to make directly
- Preparing the PR once the work is done (use
sanctum:pr-prep)

Fix Issue(s)
Retrieves issue content from the detected git platform (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) and uses subagent-driven-development to systematically address requirements, executing tasks in parallel where dependencies allow.
Platform detection is automatic via the leyline:git-platform SessionStart hook. Check session context for git_platform: to determine which CLI to use.
Key Features
- Cross-Platform: Automatically detects GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket and uses appropriate CLI
- Flexible Input: Single issue number, platform URL, or space-delimited list
- Parallel Execution: Independent tasks run concurrently via subagents
- One PR: All issues produce one consolidated PR (never per-issue PRs)
- Quality Gates: Code review between task groups
- Fresh Context: Each subagent starts with clean context for focused work
Workflow Overview
| Phase | Description | Module |
|---|
| 1. Discovery | Parse input, fetch issues, extract requirements | issue-discovery |
| 2. Planning | Analyze dependencies, create task breakdown | task-planning |
| 3. Execution | Dispatch parallel subagents for independent tasks | parallel-execution |
| 4. Quality | Code review gates between task batches | quality-gates |
| 5-6. Completion | Sequential tasks, final review, issue updates | completion |

Forge CLI Commands
Use the platform detected in session context (git_platform:). See Skill(leyline:git-platform) for full mapping.
| Operation | GitHub (gh) | GitLab (glab) |
|---|
| Fetch issue | gh issue view <N> --json title,body,labels,comments | glab issue view <N> |
| Comment | gh issue comment <N> --body "msg" | glab issue note <N> --message "msg" |
| Close | gh issue close <N> --comment "reason" | glab issue close <N> |
| Search | gh issue list --search "query" | glab issue list --search "query" |
Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.
Agent Teams (Default Execution Mode)
Agent teams is the default parallel execution backend for do-issue. Teammates coordinate via filesystem-based messaging, enabling real-time communication when shared files or dependencies are discovered mid-implementation.
Automatic downgrade: For single issues with --scope minor, agent teams is skipped (Task tool or inline execution is used instead). Use --no-agent-teams to force Task tool dispatch for any invocation.
Requires: Claude Code 2.1.32+, tmux, CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1. If prerequisites are missing, silently falls back to Task tool dispatch.
