Track Work
Creating, updating, closing, or citing GitHub issues, and writing the PR or commit bodies that link them. Use when about to write "Closes #", "Fixes #", or "Refs #" in a PR description; file an issue or a follow-up discovered while doing something else; report whether tracked work is done; describe what an issue says; tick or add acceptance criteria; verify an acceptance criterion while implementing an issue; route a human-only action to its (HUMAN) collector or manual QA to the repository's standing (QA) issue; mark an issue as being worked on by an agent (claim it — label, assignee, project card); or close an issue and pick a close reason. Covers `gh issue create/edit/close/comment`, `gh project`/Projects V2 field writes, and PR bodies alike, and applies to issues in other repos as much as this one. Trigger it even if the user doesn't say the word "skill".

From the source SKILL.md
Tracking mistakes are not knowledge failures. Every one this skill exists to prevent was made with the repo's conventions loaded and understood — what was missing was a command, run at a specific moment. So this skill is commands with pass/fail conditions, not principles to hold in mind.
What this skill does
Track Work is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/track-work/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when about to write "Closes #", "Fixes #", or "Refs #" in a PR description; file an issue or a follow-up discovered while doing something else; report whether tracked work is done; describe what an issue says; tick or add acceptance criteria; verify an acceptance criterion while implementing an issue; route a human-only action to its (HUMAN) collector or manual QA to the repository's standing (QA) issue; mark an issue as being worked on by an agent (claim it — label, assignee, project card); or close an issue and pick a close reason. Covers `gh issue create/edit/close/comment`, `gh project`/Projects V2 field writes, and PR bodies alike, and applies to issues in other repos as much as this one.
