SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Manually turning a tasks.md breakdown into GitHub issues is repetitive and error-prone, often producing duplicates or issues in the wrong repository. This Skill automates the conversion while verifying the Git remote and skipping tasks that already have issues. ## 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 any task that already has an issue. - Safety Guards: Verifies the Git remote is a GitHub URL before creating anything and never creates 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 a spec-kit planning workflow that generated tasks.md for a feature, invoke this Skill to publish every task as a tracked GitHub issue without re-checking for duplicates by hand. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to convert the current feature's tasks.md into GitHub issues for this repository.

Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-taskstoissues

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

Run the taskstoissues skill from the repository root after tasks.md has been generated. 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 issues with the GitHub MCP list_issues tool using cursor-based pagination and matches titles against the pattern `\bT\d{3}\b`. Any task ID already present in an issue title is skipped and reported.

Does taskstoissues work with non-GitHub remotes?▼

No. The skill reads the Git remote origin URL and stops if it is not a GitHub URL. It also refuses to create issues in any repository that does not match the configured remote.

What project structure is required for taskstoissues?▼

The project must follow the spec-kit layout with a .specify directory, including the check-prerequisites PowerShell script and a generated tasks.md file. A .specify/extensions.yml file is optional and only used for hooks.

Why are some tasks skipped when running taskstoissues?▼

Tasks are skipped when an existing issue title already contains their task ID, such as `T001: ...` or `[T001] ...`. The skill reports each skipped ID so you can verify the deduplication behavior.
