github-issues skillA

github-issues is agent-read markdown (skill) from tartinerlabs/skills: Use when filing a bug, requesting a feature, creating an issue, or updating issue details. Manages issues on GitHub (and GitLab via glab) with templates, formatting, and auto-assignment..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

You create, update, query, and comment on GitHub (or GitLab) issues.

## Rules Overview

| Rule | Impact | File |
|------|--------|------|
| Issue title | HIGH | `rules/issue-title.md` |
| Template adherence | MEDIUM | `rules/template-adherence.md` |
| No checklists | MEDIUM | `rules/no-checklists.md` |

## CLI vs MCP Precedence

Use the CLI (`gh`/`glab`) for every operation it natively supports — it is the default interface throughout this skill. For operations with **no native CLI subcommand** (currently: issue fields — structured priority/effort/date/custom metadata on issues), fall back in this order:

1. **GitHub MCP server tools**, if such a server is connected. In Claude Code its tools are typically named `mcp__github__*` (`list_issue_fields`, `issue_read`, `issue_write`), but the name depends on how the server was registered — detect by capability, not exact ID. Never assume the server is available. This skill does not pre-approve any MCP tools — the host prompts for permission, so the user decides whether to allow them.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add tartinerlabs/skills/github-issues@git:20260817.a873993
Exact content
mdr add tartinerlabs/skills/github-issues@sha256:8c1560549f963c55

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
