Pick Next Task

Fetch and display available tasks from GitHub Issues for this repository.

Steps

1. Determine the repo name from the current directory:

   REPO_NAME=$(basename $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel))
   

2. Fetch open issues labeled "ready" for this repo:

   gh issue list --repo PROJECT-OBA/$REPO_NAME --state open --label "ready" --json number,title,body,labels,assignees --limit 10
   

3. If a label filter was provided ($ARGUMENTS), add it:

   gh issue list --repo PROJECT-OBA/$REPO_NAME --state open --label "ready,$ARGUMENTS" --json number,title,body,labels,assignees --limit 10
   

4. Display the issues in a readable format:

   • Issue number and title
   • Priority label (P0/P1/P2)
   • Brief description (first 3 lines of body)

5. Ask the user which issue they want to work on.

6. When selected, assign it and mark in-progress:

   gh issue edit <number> --repo PROJECT-OBA/$REPO_NAME --add-label "in-progress" --remove-label "ready"
   

7. Create a feature branch for the issue:

   git checkout main && git pull && git checkout -b feat/issue-<number>-<short-description>
   

8. Display the full issue body so the user/agent has context to start working.
