Build From Issue

Plan, iterate on feedback, and implement work described in a GitHub issue.

This skill operates as a stateful workflow — it can be run repeatedly against the same issue. Each invocation inspects the issue's labels, plan comment, and conversation history to determine the correct next action.

Prerequisites

• The gh CLI must be authenticated (gh auth status)
• You must be in a git repository with a GitHub remote

Invocation and Authorization

This skill supports two invocation modes:

• Direct mode: A user explicitly asks the agent to plan or implement a specific issue. The request itself authorizes the requested phase; the corresponding agent:* request label is not required.
• Queue mode: An always-on or unattended agent scans for work without a live user directing it to a specific issue. In this mode, agent:plan-requested authorizes planning and agent:implementation-requested authorizes implementation.

A direct request authorizes only what it says. A request to review or plan does not authorize implementation. A request to build, implement, or work on an issue authorizes both the planning needed to perform the work and implementation unless the user asks to stop after planning.
