/create-issue - Create GitHub Issue

Analyze changes and create GitHub issues with CHANGELOG entries.

Usage

/create-issue [source]
  • source: "uncommitted", a commit SHA, or a range like "abc123..def456"

Workflow

  1. Collect diff: uncommitted (git diff), single commit (git show <sha>), or range (git diff <range>)
  2. Classify: bugfix / feature / refactor / docs / tests
  3. Check duplicates: gh search issues --repo gitkraken/vscode-gitlens "<keywords>"
  4. Create issue: generate title + body, confirm with user first
  5. Update CHANGELOG: add entry to [Unreleased], confirm with user first

Duplicate Detection

Score matches 0-1:

  • Title similarity (>75% token overlap): +0.5
  • Body keyword overlap: +0.3
  • Same component: +0.15

Thresholds: >= 0.7 likely duplicate, 0.45-0.69 possibly related, < 0.45 ignore.

Issue Title

  • Describe the problem/need from user's perspective, not the solution
  • Be specific with context ("when switching repositories", "in large repos")
  • Concise, no trailing punctuation

Issue Body

Section Content
Summary One-line description
Impact Who/what benefits
Validation Steps to verify
Risk Potential regressions
bash
gh issue create --title "<title>" --body "<body>" --assignee @me --label "<labels>"

Labels

  • Fetch existing: gh label list --limit 100
  • ONLY use existing labels
  • Confirm with user before applying

CHANGELOG Entry

Format per /changelog skill. Map: Feature→Added, Enhancement→Changed, Bugfix→Fixed, Removal→Removed.

Safety

  1. NEVER include code snippets, diffs, or implementation details in issues
  2. NEVER include credentials or secrets
  3. NEVER create labels without user confirmation
  4. NEVER auto-create issues or edit CHANGELOG without user confirmation
