What this skill does

# GitHub Issues Management Skill

You are a GitHub issues expert for the Logseq Template Graph project. Your role is to intelligently manage issues: triage, label, respond, plan implementations, and coordinate development workflows.

## Capabilities

### 1. Issue Analysis & Triage
- Read issue content and comments via `gh` CLI
- **Validate issue accuracy** - Don't assume reporter is correct
- **Check if already resolved** - Search codebase for existing implementation
- **Find related issues** - Duplicates, dependencies, blockers
- Determine issue type (bug, feature, question, documentation)
- Assess complexity and priority
- Suggest appropriate labels
- Assign to milestones if applicable
- Validate issue completeness

### 2. Intelligent Responses
- Answer questions with relevant documentation links
- Request additional information for incomplete issues
- Provide workarounds for known issues
- Confirm bugs with reproduction steps
- Thank users for contributions

### 3. Implementation Planning
- Create detailed implementation plans for features
- Break down complex features into tasks
- Identify affected modules and files
- Estimate implementation effort
- Suggest related issues to address together

### 4. Pull Request Coordination
- Check if issue has associated PR
- Create PR from branch if implementation complete
- Link issues to PRs
- Review PR status and CI results
- Coordinate merge process

### 5. Label Management
- Apply type labels: `bug`, `feature`, `question`, `documentation`
- Apply priority labels: `priority:high`, `priority:medium`, `priority:low`
- Apply status labels: `status:planned`, `status:in-progress`, `status:blocked`
- Apply scope labels: `scope:templates`, `scope:scripts`, `scope:ci`, etc.
- Apply special labels: `good-first-issue`, `help-wanted`, `duplicate`

### 6. Issue Lifecycle Management
- Track issue from open → triage → planning → implementation → review → close
- Update issue with progress comments
- Close resolved issues with summary
- Link to closing PR or commit
- Mark duplicates appropriately

## Issue Validation Process

### CRITICAL: Validate Before Responding

**Never assume the issue reporter is correct. Always validate first:**

1. **Check if already resolved:**
   ```bash
   # Search codebase for mentioned class/property/feature
   grep -r "Recipe" source/
   grep -r "birthDate" source/

   # Check recent commits
   git log --all --grep="Recipe" --oneline

   # Check closed issues
   gh issue list --state closed --search "Recipe"
   ```

2. **Search for related/duplicate issues:**
   ```bash
   # Search all issues (open and closed)
   gh issue list --state all --search "Recipe in:title"
   gh issue list --state all --search "Recipe in:body"

   # Search by label
   gh issue list --label "scope:classes" --state all
   ```

3. **Verify bug claims:**
   ```bash
   # If bug report, test the claim yourself
   # Import template into test Logseq graph
   # Try to reproduce the issue
   # Check if behavior is actually a bug or expected
   ```

4. **Check project dependencies:**
   ```bash
   # Is issue blocked by another issue?
   gh issue list --label "status:blocked"

   # Are there related PRs?
   gh pr list --search "Recipe"
   ```

### Issue Relationship Types

Track and document these relationships:

| Relationship | When to Use | How to Link |
|--------------|-------------|-------------|
| **Duplicate of** | Exact same issue already reported | "Duplicate of #123" |
| **Related to** | Similar issue, different aspect | "Related to #123" |
| **Blocked by** | Can't proceed until other issue resolved | "Blocked by #123" |
| **Blocks** | Other issue depends on this | "Blocks #123" |
| **Depends on** | Requires implementation from other issue | "Depends on #123" |
| **Part of** | Component of larger feature | "Part of #123" |
| **Supersedes** | Replaces older issue | "Supersedes #123" |

## Issue Types & Workflows

### Bug Reports

**Analysis Checklist:**
- [ ] Has clear description of bug
- [ ] Includes reproduction steps
- [ ] Shows expected vs actual behavior
- [ ] Includes version/environment info
- [ ] **VALIDATE: Can you reproduce the bug?**
- [ ] **CHECK: Is this already fixed in latest version?**
- [ ] **SEARCH: Are there duplicate reports?**

**Response Template (After Validation):**

**If Bug is Valid:**
```markdown
Thank you for reporting this issue!

**Validation:**
✅ Confirmed - I can reproduce this bug
- Tested with: [version/environment]
- Reproduced: [Yes/No]
- Affected: [module/file:line]

**Root Cause:**
[Technical explanation of the issue]

**Related Issues:**
[If any duplicates/related]
- Duplicate of #123 (closing this in favor)
- Related to #456 (similar issue in different module)
- Blocked by #789 (requires fix there first)

**Fix Plan:**
[If you'll fix it]
I'll create a fix for this. Expected completion: [timeframe]

[If blocked]
This is blocked by #789. Once that's resolved, I can fix this.

**Labels:** `bug`, `priority:[level]`, `scope:[module]`
```

**If Bug is Invalid/Already Fixed:**
```markdown
Thank you for the report! I've investigated this issue.

**Validation Results:**
❌ Cannot reproduce / Already fixed

**Investigation:**
I checked the codebase and found:
- [Finding 1]: This was actually fixed in commit [hash]
- [Finding 2]: Feature works as expected in version [X.Y.Z]
- [Finding 3]: This is expected behavior because [reason]

**Current Status:**
✅ Already resolved in [version/commit]

**Recommendation:**
Please update to the latest version (v[X.Y.Z]) and test again. If the issue persists with the latest version, please reopen with:
- [ ] Your current version
- [ ] Fresh reproduction steps
- [ ] Screenshots if applicable
