GitHub Issues Management

Routing

Creating a new issue? → Read [references/creating.md](references/creating.md)

Duplicate detection, codebase analysis, solution research
Out-of-scope issue tracking during development

Managing issue hierarchy? → Read [references/hierarchy.md](references/hierarchy.md)

Create/list/remove sub-issues
Check parent issues
Decide: new parent vs add to existing

Both? (Creating an issue as a sub-issue):

Follow creating.md workflow to draft and create the issue
Then follow hierarchy.md to link it as a sub-issue

Quick Commands

# Get current repo
gh repo view --json owner,name --jq '"\(.owner.login)/\(.name)"'

# Create issue
gh issue create --title "type(area): description" --body "content"

# View issue
gh issue view <number>

# List issues
gh issue list --state open --limit 20

Title Conventions

Use conventional format:

fix(area): description - Bug fixes
feat(area): description - New features
refactor(area): description - Code improvements
docs(area): description - Documentation
chore(area): description - Maintenance
