SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Manually turning a tasks.md breakdown into GitHub issues is repetitive and error-prone, and re-running the process often creates duplicate issues. This Skill automates the conversion while checking existing issues to prevent duplicates. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automated Issue Creation: Parses tasks.md entries and creates one GitHub issue per task with a canonical T001: description title format. - Deduplication: Fetches existing open and closed issues via the GitHub MCP server and skips tasks that already have matching issues. - Extension Hooks: Supports pre- and post-execution hooks defined in .specify/extensions.yml for customizable workflow integration. - Use Case: After generating a task breakdown with spec-kit, run this Skill to publish every task as a tracked GitHub issue in the repository matching your git remote, without creating duplicates on re-runs. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to convert the current feature's tasks.md into GitHub issues for this repository.

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 speckit-taskstoissues skill in a spec-kit project with a GitHub remote. It parses tasks.md, extracts each task ID and description, and creates one issue per task using the GitHub MCP server with titles in the form `T001: description`.

How does the skill avoid creating duplicate GitHub issues?▼

Before creating issues, it lists existing open and closed issues via the GitHub MCP server and matches titles against the task ID pattern `\bT\d{3}\b`. Any task ID already covered by an issue is skipped and reported.

Does speckit-taskstoissues work with non-GitHub remotes?▼

No. The skill checks the git remote origin URL and only proceeds if it is a GitHub URL. It will never create issues in repositories that do not match the configured remote.

What prerequisites are required to run tasks-to-issues conversion?▼

You need a spec-kit project structure with a .specify directory, an existing tasks.md file, and a GitHub remote. The skill runs check_prerequisites.py with --require-tasks to validate the feature directory and available design artifacts.

Can I run custom hooks before or after issue creation?▼

Yes. Define hooks under hooks.before_taskstoissues or hooks.after_taskstoissues in .specify/extensions.yml. Optional hooks are suggested to the user, while mandatory hooks are executed automatically before the workflow continues.
