GitHub Issue to Pull Request

Turn a GitHub issue into a tested, verified PR. This skill owns the end-to-end discipline — premise validation, duplicate sweeps, class-level fixes, and honest CI reporting; the sibling GitHub and development skills own their own mechanics.

When to Use

• "Fix issue #123 and open a PR."
• "Implement this GitHub feature request."
• "Take this bug from issue to green CI."

Don't use for: reviewing an existing PR, or answering a code question with no requested change.

Procedure

1. Read the live issue — body AND full thread

Use terminal to run gh issue view <N> --comments. The body is a snapshot from filing time; the newest comments carry the live state: partial fixes already merged, new root-cause analyses, maintainer decisions, or questions directed at you that change the task. Also read repository instructions (AGENTS.md, contribution docs) with read_file. Done when the currently requested behavior, non-goals, and any unanswered thread questions are known.

2. Sweep for existing and duplicate work
