GitHub Issue Breakdown

Overview

This skill automates breaking down GitHub issues into official GitHub sub-issues using the GitHub GraphQL API. It parses various task list formats from parent issue descriptions, shows a preview of proposed sub-issues, and creates them with proper parent-child relationships while inheriting metadata like labels and assignees.

When to Use This Skill

⚠️ CRITICAL: Use this skill IMMEDIATELY after creating an Epic/parent issue with a task list!

DO NOT manually create sub-issues - they won't have proper GitHub parent-child relationships and won't show in the sub-issue UI.

Use this skill when:

• Right after creating an Epic - Run this immediately to create official sub-issues ⭐ MOST IMPORTANT
• User requests breaking down an issue into sub-tasks (e.g., "break down issue #47 into sub-issues")
• User mentions converting a task list into sub-issues
• User is working with complex features that need hierarchical task management
• User needs to create multiple related child issues from a parent issue
