Issue Authoring

Category: Product · Sub-category: roadmap · Last updated: 2026-05-21

type:review

Draft or refine IDD-ready GitHub issues, roadmap issues, and sub-issues before the normal IDD execution loop begins. Use when a request is too large or ambiguous for one reviewable change, when work needs decomposition or dependency encoding, or when the user asks for issue drafting, roadmap planning, or parallelizable task breakdown.

From the source SKILL.md

Use this skill to prepare issue-ready work before execution starts. Keep the skill concise and treat the repository docs as the canonical source for the full contract and schema. The canonical source bundle lives in this repository; install copies in the agent-specific skill directory your runtime reads.

What this skill does
