What problem does it solve?

Manages GitHub issue parent-child relationships (sub-issues) using REST and GraphQL APIs. Use when breaking down large work into Epics/Features/Tasks, creating work breakdown structures, converting markdown checklists to sub-issues, reordering sub-issues, or querying issue hierarchies. Handles ID confusion between REST numeric IDs and GraphQL node IDs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Add sub-issue to parent: REST and GraphQL options to link sub-issues
  • Remove sub-issue from parent: Detach sub-issues from a parent
  • Query hierarchy: Show the full tree of parent and sub-issues
  • Convert checklists to sub-issues: Transform checklist items into linked issues
  • Reorder sub-issues: Change positions within a parent's sub-issues
  • ID handling: Clarify REST numeric IDs vs GraphQL node IDs

Quick Start

Example: Create a parent issue and attach three sub-issues; fetch the hierarchical tree via GraphQL to verify structure.
