Use when the requested outcome is reading, drafting, creating, or surgically updating GitHub or Linear issue records; changing their native parent, sub-issue, or blocker relationships and assessing readiness; checking completion against Verification evidence; or reversibly closing or canceling an issue. Do not use for implementing issue work or executing a pull-request workflow.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Managing Issues Shape, create, and maintain one issue or one connected issue family in the repository's canonical tracker. The durable result is useful issue context and a native dependency graph. Implementation plans, worktrees, pull requests, and delivery orchestration belong to the workflows that consume those issues. ## 1.

Draft each issue from `assets/issue-body-template.md` with a concise imperative title in the product team's language. Keep `Problem`, `Scope`, and …

How to install
mdr add jrgilbertson/the-rookery/managing-issues@sha256:338ea7cf77b74a66The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.4ad747e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
