Create GitHub Issue for feature request from specification file using feature_request.yml template.
— the description by PlagueHO

AutoGineer summary

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

This skill streamlines the process of translating technical specifications into actionable GitHub issues. By analyzing a specification file, the agent identifies requirements, checks for existing related issues to prevent duplication, and uses a standardized template to create or update a feature request issue in a GitHub repository.

What it does

  • Parses specification files to extract core requirements.
  • Searches existing repository issues to avoid duplicate requests.
  • Creates new GitHub issues based on the extracted requirements.
  • Updates existing issues if a relevant match is found.
  • Applies a structured feature request template for consistency.
  • Assigns appropriate labels like feature or enhancement to the issue.

When to use it

  • When you need to convert a technical specification document into a tracked GitHub issue.
  • When managing feature requests to ensure they follow a consistent format.
  • When you want to verify if a feature request has already been logged before creating a new one.
  • When automating the synchronization between project documentation and issue tracking.

Advantages

  • Reduces manual effort in issue creation and formatting.
  • Prevents duplicate issues by checking existing entries.
  • Ensures all feature requests adhere to a standardized template.
  • Maintains clear traceability between specification files and development tasks.

Usage examples

“Create a GitHub issue for the feature described in specs/new-login-flow.md.”
The agent analyzes the file, checks for existing login-related issues, and creates a new issue using the feature_request.yml template with the extracted details.
