Managing Github Issues

Quality score: 70/100 · Category: Engineering · Sub-category: testing

tool:github

Drive spec-driven project management via GitHub Issues — decompose a feature into dependency-linked task issues, label them ready / blocked / epic / in-progress, track progress, unblock downstream tasks as upstream ones close. Use when planning a new feature with multiple tasks, creating issues from a plan, picking up a ready task, checking what's ready to work on, closing a batch, or asking for project status. Each task is sized for one TDD cycle and links to blockers via "Blocked by: #N" lines. Tool access is scoped to gh issue / gh label / gh pr / git checkout-branch only — no force-push, no gh repo deletions, never closes a PR or merges on the user's behalf. Echoes any state-changing gh command back to the user before running it. Composes with designing-architecture (produces the plan), running-tdd-cycles (executes one task), committing-changes (closes a task with a PR).
