create-issue

name: create-issuedescription: This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an issue", "file a bug", "report a problem", "rewrite an issue", or "improve an issue title or body".

Create or revise an issue

An issue describes a problem or missing capability. A PR describes a proposed change. Keep their writing rules separate. For PRs, use create-pr.

Title

Use a concise statement of the problem, naming the affected behavior. Do not use an imperative change request such as "Fix", "Add", "Enable", or "Keep" as the default.

• "Visitor country is unavailable to upstream apps"
• "GeoIP data becomes stale on running installations"
• "Login returns to the wrong page after checkout"

Body

Follow the repository's issue template and the user's requested format. Otherwise use:

## Problem
One or two sentences naming the failure and its effect.

## Reproduction
1. The relevant setup or version.
2. The smallest steps that demonstrate the problem.

## Current behavior
What was observed, with a short error or result when useful.

## Desired behavior
The outcome the reporter needs.

For a missing feature, reproduce the current workflow that exposes the gap. If the problem was not reproduced, say so instead of inventing steps or results. Add environment details, evidence, or a proposed approach only when they help a maintainer act. Keep a possible implementation separate from the desired outcome.

Remove repeated explanations, promotional claims, conversation history, full diagnostic dumps, and details that do not help reproduce or resolve the issue. A few useful sections are better than a long narrative or a checklist of every investigation step.

Publish or update

Inspect repository guidance and templates, search for an existing issue, and verify the claims before publishing. When revising, read the current issue and preserve useful attachments, links, and user edits. Do not expand an issue's scope without user direction.

Use gh issue create or gh issue edit with --title and --body-file. Read back the published title and body. Link related PRs, but use a closing reference only when the PR addresses the issue's complete desired outcome.
