SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Manually turning a spec-kit tasks.md file into GitHub issues is repetitive and error-prone, often producing duplicates or issues in the wrong repository. This Skill automates the conversion while checking existing issues and validating the Git remote before creating anything. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automated Issue Creation: Parses tasks.md entries (stripping checkbox, [P], and [US#] markers) and creates GitHub issues titled T001: <description> via the GitHub MCP server. - Deduplication: Fetches existing issues with cursor-based pagination and matches task IDs using the \bT\d{3}\b pattern, skipping tasks that already have issues. - Safety Guards: Verifies the Git remote is a GitHub URL and refuses to create issues in repositories that do not match the remote. - Extension Hooks: Supports optional and mandatory pre/post hooks declared in .specify/extensions.yml. - Use Case: After running spec-kit planning for a feature, invoke this Skill to publish every task in tasks.md as a tracked GitHub issue without re-creating ones from a previous run. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to convert the current feature's tasks.md into GitHub issues for this repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert spec-kit tasks into GitHub issues?▼

Run this Skill from the repository root after generating tasks.md with spec-kit. It parses each task line, strips checkbox and priority markers, and creates issues titled `T001: <description>` through the GitHub MCP server.

How does the skill avoid creating duplicate GitHub issues?▼

It fetches existing open and closed issues with cursor-based pagination and matches titles against the task ID pattern `\bT\d{3}\b`. Tasks whose IDs already appear in an issue title are skipped and reported.

What are the requirements for running tasks-to-issues conversion?▼

The project must follow the spec-kit structure with a .specify directory, contain a tasks.md file, and have a GitHub remote configured. The GitHub MCP server must be available for issue operations.

Why does the skill refuse to create issues in my repository?▼

It checks `git config --get remote.origin.url` and only proceeds when the remote is a GitHub URL. It never creates issues in repositories that do not match the configured remote, preventing accidental cross-repo writes.

Does it support task IDs with more than three digits?▼

Yes. The matching pattern `\bT\d{3}\b` accepts four-digit and longer IDs such as T1000, which occur when a feature has more than 999 tasks. Shorter patterns would silently miss those tasks.
