GitHub Sync

Keep the change's GitHub Issue + Project board in sync with the flow. Run this from the steps that change state. Conditional, not optional: it acts whenever pscode/github.yaml exists, and then you run every action the step prescribes — assign, move the card, comment. "Non-blocking" means tolerate failure, never skip the work: always attempt each gh call; only if one fails (no gh, no auth, no network) do you report it and continue the flow.

Guard (do this first, every time)

1. If pscode/github.yaml does not exist → do nothing, silently.
2. Read it. Use gh from its gh: field (default gh). The values you need: repo, owner, project, projectNodeId, statusFieldId, statuses (a stage → option-id map), issuePattern, links.
3. (Optional) Read pscode/requirements.yaml to confirm gh auth is in place.

Resolve the Issue for a change (deterministic order)

1. links["<slug>"] in github.yaml, else
2. the number in pscode/changes/<slug>/.issue, else
3. derive <issuePattern>-NN from the slug (issuePattern: none disables this).

If none resolves and the step is /ps:draft, create the Issue (below). Every command also accepts the card number directly — when the user passes one, use it instead of resolving.

Stage map (flow step → board column → statuses key)

Step	Board column	Stage key	Also
/ps:draft	Backlog	backlog	create Issue (body = the short draft), add to Project
/ps:refine (in)	In Refinement	proposed	assign user
/ps:refine (out)	Ready to Dev	ready_to_dev	create a sub-issue per subtask, update Issue body from refine.md
/ps:dev (start)	In Development	in_progress	assign user
/ps:dev (subtask)	—	—	on each subtask [x], close its sub-issue
/ps:dev (review)	In Code Review	review	—
/ps:dev (test)	In Test	in_test	—
/ps:dev (deploy)	Ready to Deploy	ready_to_deploy	—
/ps:complete	Done	done	comment, then close the Issue
/ps:cancel	Cancelled	cancelled	comment reason, then close the Issue

If statuses.<stage> is absent (the Project lacks that option), skip the move and tell the user to run /ps:board-setup.

Next-step comment (post on every successful move that has a next step)

After the card lands in its new column, comment the command that drives the next step so the user just copies it to continue. Post the command inside a fenced code block — GitHub renders a one-click copy button — with a short line above it. Always substitute the real Issue number for <card#>. Map:

Card now in (step that just ran)	Comment to post
Backlog (/ps:draft)	/ps:refine <card#>
Ready to Dev (/ps:refine)	/ps:dev <card#>
Ready to Deploy (/ps:dev)	/ps:complete <card#>
Done (/ps:complete)	— terminal, no comment
Cancelled (/ps:cancel)	— terminal, no comment

The intermediate /ps:dev moves (In Code Review, In Test) have no next-step comment — only Ready to Deploy unlocks /ps:complete. The comment body is a short line plus the command on its own line wrapped in a triple-backtick fenced block. For a card that just reached Backlog as Issue 42, the comment's Markdown is the line Próximo passo — refine este card: followed by a fenced block containing only /ps:refine 42, so the rendered comment shows it with a copy button. Pass that whole body to gh issue comment (heredoc or --body-file to keep the fences intact). This comment is part of the move's prescribed work, governed by the same "non-blocking only on failure" rule — always attempt it after confirming the move landed.

Commands

Create the Issue (/ps:draft): the short draft description is the Issue body — there is no brief.md at draft time, so pass it inline (a heredoc or --body-file - keeps the line breaks):

gh issue create --repo <repo> --title "<change name>" --body "<short draft>"

Capture the printed URL, extract its number, add it to the board and set backlog. The local change folder and .issue are not written here — that happens in /ps:refine.

Assign the current user (/ps:refine, /ps:dev):

gh issue edit <issue> --repo <repo> --add-assignee @me

Read the Issue (description + comments) — input for /ps:refine:

gh issue view <issue> --repo <repo> --comments

Update the Issue body (/ps:refine):

gh issue edit <issue> --repo <repo> --body-file pscode/changes/<slug>/refine.md

Create sub-issues for the subtasks (/ps:refine, on approval): turn each ## Subtasks item in refine.md into a native sub-issue of the card, so the board shows the breakdown and a progress bar. Idempotent — list the existing sub-issues first and skip any title already there:

# titles already linked (match on these to avoid duplicates)
gh api repos/<repo>/issues/<issue>/sub_issues --jq '.[].title'
# for each NEW subtask line:
url=$(gh issue create --repo <repo> --title "<subtask text>" \
  --body "Sub-issue of #<issue>")
child=${url##*/}                                  # issue number from the URL
id=$(gh api repos/<repo>/issues/$child --jq .id)  # its integer (database) id
gh api --method POST repos/<repo>/issues/<issue>/sub_issues -F sub_issue_id=$id

Keep the ## Subtasks checklist in the local refine.md, but drop it from the posted Issue body — the sub-issues replace it. If the sub-issues API isn't available (older GitHub), fall back to leaving the checklist in the body.

Close a subtask's sub-issue (/ps:dev, when a subtask is ticked [x]): keep the card's progress bar honest by closing the matching sub-issue.

gh issue close <childNumber> --repo <repo>

Add to the Project (returns the item id):

gh project item-add <project> --owner <owner> --url <issueUrl> --format json

Set the board status (the core action — never skip it). It takes two gh calls: first find the Project item id for the Issue, then edit its Status. Run both every time the stage map says to move the card:

# 1. item id for this Issue (raise --limit if the board is large)
gh project item-list <project> --owner <owner> --format json --limit 200
# → pick the item whose .content.number == <issue> → its .id
# 2. set the Status field to the stage's option id
gh project item-edit --id <itemId> --field-id <statusFieldId> \
  --project-id <projectNodeId> --single-select-option-id <statuses.<stage>>

Parse the JSON to pick the item: don't assume jq exists (many environments lack it) — pipe to whatever the project already uses (e.g. node -e), or use gh's built-in --jq/-q flag. If step 1 finds no item (e.g. the Issue was never added to the board, so the list is empty or lacks it), the Issue isn't on the Project yet — run item-add (above) to get its id, then edit. An empty --id makes item-edit fail with "Could not resolve to a node"; never call it with a blank id. After editing, confirm the move landed (re-run step 1 and check the item's Status) before reporting the step done. A successful assign does not stand in for the status move — both must run.

Comment:

gh issue comment <issue> --repo <repo> --body "<short note>"

Close (/ps:complete, /ps:cancel, after the move + comment):

gh issue close <issue> --repo <repo>

Golden rule

"Non-blocking" governs failure, not effort: always attempt every action the step prescribes — the status move is the whole point, never skip it just because it costs two commands or the assign already ran. If gh is missing, unauthenticated, or the repo has no remote, say how to fix it (gh auth login, etc.) and continue the flow — the guided steps never depend on the sync succeeding.
