Sequential Issue Processing

Process open GitHub issues from simplest to hardest in a continuous loop.

Workflow

1. Gather and prioritize

gh issue list --state open --json number,title,labels --limit 100

Sort issues by estimated complexity (simplest first):

• Small bugs / single-file fixes
• Multi-file bugs
• New features / enhancements
• Architecture / refactoring tasks

2. For each issue (simplest to hardest):

a. Triage complexity

Trivial / simple (single-file fix, small bug):

• Implement directly, push, merge, move on.

Non-trivial (multi-file, requires design decisions):

• Enter plan mode, write a plan.
• Post the plan as a comment on the issue.
• Move to the next issue while awaiting approval.

b. Implement (when approved or trivial)

• Create a feature branch and implement the fix/feature
• Run ./mvnw spring-javaformat:apply after code changes
• Run ./mvnw validate to check PMD/checkstyle
• Run tests: ./mvnw test
• Fix any failures before proceeding

c. Push and merge

• Use /push skill to create/update the PR
• Wait for CI checks: gh pr checks <N> --watch
• If checks pass, merge: gh pr merge <N> --squash --delete-branch

d. Next issue

• Pick the next issue, repeat from step 2a

3. Stop when

• All open issues are resolved, OR
• The user interrupts
