SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing GitHub issues across OncoKB repositories requires consistent templates, labels, project board placement, and status fields, which is error-prone when done manually. This Skill standardizes issue triage, creation, and metadata updates so every issue follows repository conventions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Issue Creation: Generates issues from four ticket templates (feature, fix, documentation, chore) with required sections like acceptance criteria and scope. - Metadata and Project Management: Applies the ai-generated label, places issues on the OncoKB sprint board or other org projects, and sets Status, start date, and target date fields using only valid project options. - Triage and Maintenance: Checks for duplicates, updates existing issues, and closes issues with traceable rationale via the gh CLI. - Use Case: A team member reports a data pipeline bug. The Skill drafts a Fix issue with reproduction steps, confirms labels from the live oncokb-pipeline label list, creates the issue with gh, and adds it to the sprint board with the correct Status. ## Quick Start Create a new fix issue in oncokb/oncokb-pipeline describing the annotation import failure and add it to the sprint board.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a GitHub issue with the gh CLI?▼

Use gh issue create with a title and body, then apply labels and project placement. This Skill builds the body from a feature, fix, documentation, or chore template and runs the gh commands after you confirm the ticket kind and metadata.

How do I add a GitHub issue to an organization project board?▼

Issues are added to projects under github.com/orgs/oncokb/projects based on execution intent. Active work goes to the sprint board with 2024-week and Status fields set; planned work goes to a user-selected project with start and target dates.

Which repository does this Skill target by default?▼

The default target is oncokb/oncokb-pipeline for all issue operations. A different OncoKB repository is used only when you explicitly request it.

Can I set any status value on a GitHub project board?▼

No. Status values must come from the destination project's configured status options, which are fetched before any update. Invented status values are never applied, and missing permissions are reported with follow-up commands.

What labels are applied to new OncoKB issues?▼

Every created issue receives the ai-generated label. Additional tags are chosen by you from a suggested subset of the live label list fetched from oncokb/oncokb-pipeline with gh label list.
