| description | This skill should be used when verifying that a GitHub Issue meets organizational standards for parent-sub-issue relationships and description quality. It fetches the live issue and delegates the gate checks to github-validate-issue so the bar matches what github-write-issue enforces pre-write. The GitHub counterpart of lisa-jira-verify. |

Verify GitHub Issue: $ARGUMENTS
Verify that the existing GitHub Issue $ARGUMENTS (org/repo#<number> or full URL) meets organizational standards. This skill is a thin post-write wrapper around lisa-github-validate-issue: it fetches the live issue and asks the validator to run the gates against the fetched state.
This indirection exists so the gate definitions live in exactly one place (lisa-github-validate-issue). When the bar changes, change it there — lisa-github-verify, lisa-github-write-issue (Phase 5.5 pre-write), and lisa-github-to-tracker (PRD dry-run) all pick it up.
Process
- Confirm
gh auth status succeeds.
- Parse
$ARGUMENTS. Resolve <org>, <repo>, <number>.
- Fetch the issue via
gh issue view <number> --repo <org>/<repo> --json number,title,body,labels,state,milestone,assignees,author,createdAt,updatedAt,closed,closedAt,url.
- Invoke
lisa-github-validate-issue and pass the issue ref. The validator fetches its own copy and runs every gate (Specification + Feasibility) against the live state.
- Surface the validator's report verbatim to the caller.
Output
Pass through lisa-github-validate-issue's structured output unchanged. Do not summarize or paraphrase — downstream callers (e.g. lisa-github-agent's pre-flight gate) parse the gate lines.
Notes
- This skill is read-only. It never edits the issue, posts comments, or changes labels.
- If a gate fails, the recommendation is part of the validator's report; surface it as-is.
- The Validation Journey check (S11) parses the
## Validation Journey markdown section — same parser logic as lisa-github-add-journey and lisa-github-journey.
