lifecycle-issue-fixer

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the full lifecycle of closing a GitHub issue by reading the issue, creating an isolated worktree if needed, driving a test-first implementation, verifying results, and opening a pull request, removing manual orchestration and reducing human error.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Issue ingestion & validation: Parses issue references or URLs, fetches issue details and comments, and enforces a required issue template before any work begins.
• Safe worktree management: Detects existing worktrees or clean feature branches and creates an isolated worktree when necessary to avoid disrupting the main branch.
• TDD-driven implementation: Enforces a strict red-green-refactor cycle, runs targeted tests using a provided script, and updates a context file describing affected files, tests, and benchmarks.
• Independent verification & PR lifecycle: Dispatches an independent verification subagent to validate acceptance criteria and then invokes a lifecycle PR skill to commit, create, and manage the PR.

Quick Start

Resolve issue 123 by running the end-to-end TDD workflow: read the issue, create or enter a worktree, write failing tests, implement the fix until tests pass, run independent verification, and open a PR.
