What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of discovering open GitHub issues, classifying them by priority, and turning a chosen issue into a concrete, executable plan saved under the project's Pending work queue, thereby accelerating structured software planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Issue discovery & classification: Uses the GitHub MCP server (list_issues) or gh CLI fallback to surface open issues, excluding those labeled AIIGNORE or FUTUREWORK, and tagging them as maint or feat.
  • Plan generation & commit: For the selected issue, fetches full details, analyzes the codebase, and writes a detailed implementation plan to .cursor/workplans/Pending/<slug>.md, then commits the plan on the current branch.
  • Issue lifecycle management: Closes the chosen issue with state_reason "not_planned" to reflect that planning has captured the work.
  • Workflow interop: Prefers MCP; gracefully falls back to gh if the MCP server is unavailable.

Quick Start

Tell the agent to pick an issue and plan. It will locate an eligible open issue, generate a detailed plan, commit it to the Pending folder, and mark the issue as not_planned.
