Github Issues

The github-issues skill enables users to create, update, and manage GitHub issues through MCP tools and GitHub CLI commands, supporting bug reports, feature requests, labels, assignees, milestones, custom fields, and issue linking. It solves the problem of programmatically managing GitHub issues without manual web interface interaction by providing both read operations via MCP tools and write operations via the GitHub API. The skill is designed for developers and teams who need to automate issue creation and management workflows.
