Plan and maintain a GitHub Projects v2 board with the deckhand workflow: create epics, break them into linked sub-issues, prioritise, assign owners, and move tickets across the kanban (Backlog, Prioritized, Doing, Review, Done). Use eagerly when working a board: 'the backlog', 'the board', 'pick up #N', 'work on #N', 'what's next', 'what should I do next', 'create an epic', 'break this into tickets', 'prioritise', a pasted GitHub Projects URL, or /managing-project-backlog. The skill is board-aware: it confirms a GitHub Projects board is in play (configured for this repo, or present on it) before acting, and steps aside if there is no board, so it never barges into an unrelated repo.
Run the deckhand ticket lifecycle: take GitHub issues from a GitHub Projects board through implementation, isolated adversarial review, a fix-loop, CI gating, and merge. Use eagerly when working a board: 'iterate on these tickets', 'work through the backlog', 'pick up #N', 'process the prioritized column', a batch of issue numbers, an epic, or /ticket-lifecycle. The skill is board-aware: it confirms a GitHub Projects board is in play (configured for this repo, or present on it) before acting, and steps aside if there is no board, so it never barges into an unrelated repo. Modular: use whichever of the Phase 1 to 7 steps fit (single ticket, single PR, cleanup-only, and constrained single-thread environments all work).
