Github Swarm Issue

Overview

This skill transforms GitHub Issues into intelligent swarm tasks, enabling automatic task decomposition, agent coordination, and comprehensive progress tracking. It provides issue-to-swarm conversion, automated triage, and lifecycle management.

Key Capabilities:

• Issue-to-swarm conversion with automatic decomposition
• Issue comment commands for swarm control
• Automated triage and labeling
• Task breakdown with subtask creation
• Progress tracking with visual updates
• Duplicate detection and linking

Quick Start

# Get issue details for swarm initialization
gh issue view 456 --json title,body,labels,assignees,comments

# List issues ready for swarm processing
gh issue list --label "swarm-ready"

# Add swarm label to trigger processing
gh issue edit 456 --add-label "swarm-ready"

# Post swarm status comment
gh issue comment 456 --body "Swarm initialized for this issue"

When to Use

• Complex Issues: Multi-step tasks requiring decomposition
• Bug Investigation: Issues needing systematic debugging
• Feature Requests: New features requiring architecture and implementation
• Technical Debt: Refactoring tasks with multiple components
• Epic Management: Coordinating child issues under parent
