What it does

Manages GitHub Issues through the GitHub API, enabling creation, searching, labeling, and triaging of issues directly from the coding environment.

Overview

A GitHub Copilot skill for comprehensive GitHub issue management through MCP tools and CLI commands. It enables creating, updating, querying, and organizing issues — including bug reports, feature requests, and tasks — with support for issue types, labels, milestones, sub-issues, dependencies, and project board integration.

Key Features

Full issue lifecycle management: Create, update, close, and comment on issues using gh api REST commands, with support for issue types (Bug, Feature, Task, Epic), labels, assignees, and milestones.
MCP-powered read operations: Query issues via mcp__github__issue_read, mcp__github__list_issues, and mcp__github__search_issues tools for reading details, comments, sub-issues, and performing complex searches across repositories.
Structured issue templates: Includes ready-to-use templates for bug reports, feature requests, and tasks with proper markdown formatting, acceptance criteria, and reproducibility steps.
Advanced issue relationships: Supports sub-issues, parent issues, blocked-by/blocking dependencies, and GitHub Projects V2 integration for project board management and progress tracking.
Issue fields and custom metadata: Manages custom fields including dates, priority levels, text fields, and numbers through private preview APIs, along with advanced GraphQL-based search and filtering.

Who is this for?

This skill is designed for development teams and project managers who want Copilot to streamline GitHub issue workflows. It is especially useful for teams that rely on structured issue tracking with types and custom fields, manage complex dependency chains between issues, or need automated issue creation from implementation plans and specifications.
