Work Item Handler

Integrate with issue trackers (GitHub, JIRA, Azure DevOps) for context-aware assistance.

When to Use This Skill

Proactively invoke when user:

• Mentions an issue number
• Asks about requirements or "what needs to be done"
• Needs to fetch/refresh issue details
• Is unclear about task scope

Context Files (Auto-Injected)

• rules/git.md: Commit and PR format rules (SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH)
• context/git.md: Detailed commit/PR examples
• rules/work-items.md: Work item lifecycle
• context/work-items.md: Multi-platform patterns and examples

Read these files for complete guidance. This skill provides quick reference only.

Quick Reference

Fetch Issue (GitHub)

gh issue view <number> --json number,title,body,state,labels

Use /onus:fetch Command

For full fetch with caching:

/onus:fetch 42

Caching

• Location: ~/.claude/onus/work-item-cache.json
• Expires: 1 hour
• Refresh: /onus:fetch <number>

Key Rules

1. Don't define commit/PR formats here — that's rules/git.md's job
2. Don't guess issue numbers — verify with user or parse from branch
3. Track acceptance criteria — warn before PR if unaddressed

What This Skill Does NOT Do

• Define commit message format (see rules/git.md, context/git.md)
• Define PR format (see rules/git.md, context/git.md)
• Define work item lifecycle (see rules/work-items.md)
• Provide detailed fetch examples (see context/work-items.md, commands/fetch.md)
