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

# Create an issue tagged for swarm pickup
gh issue create \
  --title "Feature: Advanced Authentication" \
  --body "Implement OAuth2 with social login..." \
  --label "enhancement,swarm-ready"

# Open a coordination swarm for the issue
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"
