Automatically report work progress as comments on Issues.
Overview
This skill enables Claude Code to automatically post progress reports to the relevant GitHub Issue upon work completion.
Trigger
- When explicitly requested by user
- Upon completion of major milestones (PR creation, merge completion, etc.)
- When user wants to record errors or issues
Instructions
Step 1: Identify Current Issue
Extract Issue number from current branch name:
git branch --show-current
Branch name pattern: <type>/<issue-number>-<description>
Example: feat/123-add-auth → Issue #123
Step 2: Gather Progress Information
Collect the following information:
- Completed tasks - Features implemented/fixed
- Changed files - Summary of
git diff --stat
- Test results - Test execution status
- Next steps - Remaining tasks
Step 3: Format Report
## Progress Update

- [x] Added unit tests for auth module
- [x] Passed all quality checks
### Changes
- Modified 5 files
- Added 200 lines, removed 50 lines
### Test Results
✅ All tests passing (24/24)
### Next Steps
- [ ] Add integration tests
- [ ] Update documentation
---
*Auto-reported by Claude Code at YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM*
Step 4: Post Comment
gh issue comment <issue-number> --body "<formatted-report>"

Integration with Workflow
This skill integrates with the following workflow steps:
- After start-issue - Notify work start
- After PR creation - Report PR number and link
- After review response - Summary of responses
- After merge completion - Close report
Best Practices
- Be concise - Avoid overly long reports
- Be specific - Clearly describe implemented features
- Next steps - Clarify remaining tasks
- Moderate frequency - Avoid posting too frequently
