Use when changing shared upstream-owned files, editing or reviewing `kilocode_change` markers, or moving additive Kilo-specific behavior into Kilo-owned code to reduce future merge conflicts.

Use this skill whenever you create or manage a GitHub issue with gh for either the VS Code extension or the JetBrains plugin.
The repo defines issue templates in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/. Pick the matching template instead of opening a blank issue:
| Template | When to use |
|---|---|
Bug report (bug-report.yml) | Reproducible defects with steps, expected, and actual behavior |
Feature Request (feature-request.yml) | New capabilities, enhancements, or behavior changes |
Question (question.yml) | Usage or design questions that aren't obviously bugs or feature requests |
Pass the template title to gh issue create --template.
[JetBrains], [Jetbrains], [JB], [VS Code], [VSCode], or similar. Routing happens through project boards, not the title.Every new issue must land on the correct project board:
| Surface | Project | URL |
|---|---|---|
| VS Code extension | VS Code Extension | https://github.com/orgs/Kilo-Org/projects/25 |
| JetBrains plugin | Jetbrains Plugin | https://github.com/orgs/Kilo-Org/projects/39 |
Pass the project title to gh issue create --project.
Create a VS Code extension bug report and add it to the board:
gh issue create \
--template "Bug report" \
--project "VS Code Extension" \
--title "Sidebar chat fails to render after reload" \
--body "..."
Create a JetBrains feature request:
gh issue create \
--template "Feature Request" \
--project "Jetbrains Plugin" \
--title "Support Kotlin Multiplatform target detection" \
--body "..."
If gh reports a missing scope when assigning a project, refresh the auth token and retry:
gh auth refresh -s project
After the refresh succeeds, re-run the original gh issue create command. Do not fall back to creating the issue without the project — the board assignment is required.
