GitHub Issues + Project

Issues live in edochi/mdvs. The project board is at https://github.com/users/edochi/projects/2 (number 2, ID PVT_kwHOA2NvhM4BQ-9Z).

Issue structure

Every issue follows this template:

# Summary

One line or short paragraph.

# Changes

- Bullet list of concrete changes

# Description

Free-form, as detailed as needed.

## Sub-header
...

# Files

- `src/cmd/build.rs` — description

The Description section is optional but can be arbitrarily detailed with sub-headers.

Metadata split

On the issue (repo-level):

• Title
• Body (template above)
• Labels — type only: feat, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore, ci, perf, style
• State: open / closed

On the project (board-level):

• Status: Todo / In Progress / Done (syncs with issue state automatically)
• Priority: high / medium / low

Creating an issue

gh issue create --repo edochi/mdvs \
  --title "<title>" \
  --label "<type>" \
  --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
# Summary

...

# Changes

- ...

# Files

- ...
EOF
)"

The issue is auto-added to the project via the project's auto-add workflow.

Setting priority on the project

After creating an issue, set its priority on the project board:

1. Get the project item ID:

gh project item-list 2 --owner edochi --format json --jq '.items[] | select(.content.number == <ISSUE_NUMBER>) | .id'

2. Set priority:

gh project item-edit --project-id "PVT_kwHOA2NvhM4BQ-9Z" \
  --id "<ITEM_ID>" \
  --field-id "PVTSSF_lAHOA2NvhM4BQ-9Zzg-8kwo" \
  --single-select-option-id "<OPTION_ID>"

Priority option IDs:

• high: 20a900f0
• medium: 4fedbaba
• low: 20cdb34f

Dependencies

Managed through GitHub issue relationships, not in the issue body. Use sub-issues or "tracked by" links in the project.

Branch naming

Branches reference the issue number:

<issue-number>-<short-description>

Examples: 1-cargo-dist, 5-enum-constraints, 12-mdbook-site

Querying issues

gh issue list --repo edochi/mdvs                          # all open
gh issue list --repo edochi/mdvs --label feat              # by type
gh issue list --repo edochi/mdvs --state closed            # closed
gh issue view <number> --repo edochi/mdvs                  # single issue

Closing an issue

gh issue close <number> --repo edochi/mdvs

The project's "Item closed" workflow auto-sets Status to Done.
