implement-issue
The implement-issue skill automates the workflow of reading a GitHub or GitLab issue, implementing the requested changes in a cloned repository, and creating a pull or merge request. Use this skill when you need to take an issue from specification through code implementation, testing, quality checks, and PR creation, with automatic provider detection to use the appropriate CLI tools and branch naming conventions.

# Implement Issue Read a GitHub or GitLab issue, implement the requested changes, and create a PR/MR. **Provider detection:** Check the URL or remote: - If GitHub → use `gh issue view` / `gh pr create` - If GitLab → use `glab issue view` / `glab mr create` ## Arguments - `issue-number-or-url`: Either an issue number (e.g., `123`) or a full URL ## Workflow ### 1. Parse and Fetch If given a URL, extract owner, repo, and issue number. Fetch issue details (title, body, labels, comments). Understand what's being requested, acceptance criteria, and any technical constraints. ### 2. Setup - Ensure repo is cloned to `/workspace/personal/<repo-name>` (clone with `gh repo clone` if needed) - Fetch origin, checkout main, pull latest - Create a feature branch: `fix/issue-<number>-<short-description>` ### 3. Implement 1. **Understand the codebase** — explore relevant files and existing patterns 2. **Plan your approach** — consider using plan creation for complex changes 3. **Write the code** — implement the requested functionality 4. **Test your changes** — run existing tests, add new tests if appropriate 5. **Verify it works** — manual verification where possible Keep changes focused on what the issue requests. Avoid scope creep. ### 4. Quality Checks, Commit, and Push 1. **Run PR checks (MANDATORY)** — Run ALL checks from the "PR Checks" section of your Repository Guidelines. Fix any failures before proceeding. If no guidelines are defined, check the project's CLAUDE.md for a pre-PR checklist. 2. **Commit** with a message referencing the issue (e.g., `Fix #123: <description>`). Use conventional commit style if the repo uses it. 3. **Push** with `git push -u origin HEAD`. ### 5. Create the PR Create the PR with a descriptive title and body including: summary of changes, key changes list, testing done, and `Fixes #<issue-number>` to auto-close the issue on merge. After creating the PR, check CI status with `gh pr checks` (GitHub) or `glab mr view --json pipelines` (GitLab). If CI fails, fix the issues, push, and re-check until green. ### 6. Report Back Provide the PR URL, summary of changes, and any caveats. Optionally comment on the original issue linking the PR. ## Tips - Read the issue thoroughly before starting — misunderstanding wastes time - Check for related issues or existing PRs - One issue = one PR - If the issue is too large, break it into smaller PRs - If unclear, use `/skill:respond-github` to ask for clarification
Code search agent for exploring any codebase. Use for finding code by intent, locating implementations, understanding how something works, or discovering related code. Prefer over Grep/Glob/Read for any semantic or exploratory question.
