Create GitHub Issues from implementation plan phases using feature_request.yml or chore_request.yml templates.
— the description by PlagueHO

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill streamlines project management by parsing implementation plan files to automatically generate or update GitHub issues. It ensures that development tasks are tracked systematically by mapping plan phases to specific issue templates, helping teams maintain consistency and visibility throughout the development lifecycle.

What it does

  • Parses implementation plan files to extract distinct project phases.
  • Searches existing GitHub issues to prevent duplication.
  • Creates new GitHub issues for each identified phase.
  • Updates existing issues when relevant changes are detected.
  • Applies standardized templates for feature and chore requests.
  • Assigns appropriate labels based on the issue type.

When to use it

  • When you have a detailed implementation plan and need to track its execution in GitHub.
  • When you want to ensure all project phases are captured as actionable issues.
  • When you need to maintain consistency in issue formatting across a development team.
  • When you want to avoid manual entry of repetitive task descriptions.

Advantages

  • Reduces manual overhead in project tracking.
  • Ensures alignment between high-level plans and granular issue tracking.
  • Prevents duplicate work by verifying existing issues before creation.
  • Promotes structured documentation through the use of standardized templates.

Usage examples

“Create GitHub issues based on the phases in my implementation_plan.md file.”
The agent will parse the file, check for existing issues, and generate new GitHub issues for each phase using the appropriate templates.
