A skill from GitHub's awesome-copilot collection for filing and maintaining GitHub issues.
What the skill teaches
A skill from GitHub's awesome-copilot collection for filing and maintaining GitHub issues. It has the agent read issues, sub-issues, projects and labels through a GitHub MCP server's issue and project tools, and make changes with gh api calls, which can also set issue types that the gh issue create command cannot. Reference files explain labels, milestones, issue fields such as dates and priority, issue types, sub-issues, blocked-by dependencies, project boards, search syntax, images and issue templates. It needs an authenticated GitHub CLI, and the read steps assume the MCP server is connected. There are no scripts.
