GitHub Issue Management

Work with GitHub issues using the gh CLI.

Read-only commands (always allowed)

gh issue list
gh issue list --state all
gh issue list --label "bug"
gh issue view <number>
gh issue view <number> --comments
gh issue status
gh label list

Modification commands (ask first)

These commands modify state - confirm with the user before running:

gh issue create --title "Title" --body "Description"
gh issue edit <number> --add-label "label"
gh issue edit <number> --add-assignee @me
gh issue close <number> --comment "Reason"
gh issue reopen <number>
gh issue comment <number> --body "Comment text"

Before creating an issue

Each repository has its own conventions. Before drafting a new issue:

1. Study existing issues: Run gh issue list and gh issue view on several recent issues to learn the preferred title format and body structure
2. Fetch all labels: Run gh label list to see available labels and choose the most appropriate ones

Match the style and conventions you observe in the existing issues.

Fixing an issue

When asked to fix an issue:

1. Understand the issue: Run gh issue view <number> --comments
2. Identify affected code: Search the codebase for relevant files
3. Implement the fix: Make minimal, focused changes
4. Test the changes: Run relevant tests
5. Create a commit: Reference the issue number (e.g., "Fix #123: description")
