Language Conventions

Infer language style from the project:

• Analyze existing issues, documentation, and commit messages to detect the project's language variant (US English, UK English, etc.)
• Match the spelling conventions found in the project (e.g., "initialize" vs "initialise", "behavior" vs "behaviour")
• Maintain consistency with the project's established language style throughout issue titles and descriptions

Create a GitHub issue with the following workflow:

1. Check if we're in a GitHub repository and get owner/repo info
2. Check for organization issue types:
   • Use github/list_issue_types MCP tool with the repository owner
   • If issue types exist, select the most appropriate type based on the issue context (e.g., "Bug", "Feature", "Task")
   • Note: This will fail for user-owned repositories (not organizations) - this is expected, proceed without issue type
3. Check for ISSUE_TEMPLATE format:
   • Look for issue templates in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ or .github/ directories
   • If templates exist, use the most appropriate template format (bug report, feature request, etc.)
   • Parse template structure and fill in the required sections
4. If no ISSUE_TEMPLATE exists, use custom format:
   • Infer issue title from user's request context
   • Generate appropriate issue description based on the context
5. Get current user for assignment:
   • Use github/get_me MCP tool to get the current authenticated user's login
6. Create issue using github/issue_write MCP tool:
   • Set method: "create"
   • Include owner, repo, title, body
   • Include type parameter if organization issue types are available (from step 2)
   • Include assignees array with current user's login for self-assignment
   • If assignment fails (user not a collaborator), the issue will still be created without assignment
7. Optionally add existing labels or milestone (only use labels that already exist in the repository)
   • Additional assignees can be added to the assignees array

For the issue title:

• Use natural, descriptive language (NOT conventional commits format like "feat:", "fix:", "chore:")
• Make it clear and specific to the problem or feature
• Keep it concise but informative

For the issue description (when using custom format):

• Include clear problem statement or feature request
• Add steps to reproduce (if bug report)
• Keep it structured and actionable

For ISSUE_TEMPLATE format:

• Follow the exact template structure and required fields
• Fill in template placeholders with relevant information from user context
• Maintain template formatting and sections
