Issue Creation

Triggers: creating a GitHub issue, reporting a bug, requesting a feature.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Creating a GitHub issue (bug report or feature request)
• Helping a contributor file an issue
• Triaging or approving issues as a maintainer

---

Critical Rules

1. Blank issues are disabled — MUST use a template (bug report or feature request) 2. Every issue gets `status:needs-review` automatically on creation 3. A maintainer MUST add `status:approved` before any PR can be opened 4. Questions go to [Discussions](https://github.com/fearovex/agent-config/discussions), not issues

---

Workflow

1. Search existing issues for duplicates
2. Choose the correct template (Bug Report or Feature Request)
3. Fill in ALL required fields
4. Check pre-flight checkboxes
5. Submit → issue gets status:needs-review automatically
6. Wait for maintainer to add status:approved
7. Only then open a PR linking this issue

Issue Templates

Bug Report

Template: .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml Auto-labels: bug, status:needs-review

Required Fields

Optional Fields

Example — Bug Report via CLI

gh issue create --template "bug_report.yml" \
  --title "fix(scripts): setup.sh fails on zsh with glob error" \
  --body "
### Pre-flight Checks
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate
- [x] I understand this issue needs status:approved before a PR can be opened

### Bug Description
Running setup.sh on zsh throws a glob error when no matching files exist.

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Clone the repo
2. Run \`./scripts/setup.sh\` in zsh
3. See error: \`zsh: no matches found: skills/*\`

### Expected Behavior
The script should handle missing glob matches gracefully.

### Actual Behavior
Script crashes with glob error.

### Operating System
macOS

### Agent / Client
Claude Code

### Shell
zsh

### Relevant Logs
\`\`\`
zsh: no matches found: skills/*
\`\`\`

Feature Request

Template: .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml Auto-labels: enhancement, status:needs-review

Required Fields

Optional Fields

Example — Feature Request via CLI

gh issue create --template "feature_request.yml" \
  --title "feat(scripts): add Codex support to setup.sh" \
  --body "
### Pre-flight Checks
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate
- [x] I understand this issue needs status:approved before a PR can be opened

### Problem Description
The setup script only configures Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. Codex users have to manually copy skills.

### Proposed Solution
Add a Codex option to setup.sh that links skills to the .codex/ directory.

Example:
\`\`\`bash
./scripts/setup.sh --agent codex
\`\`\`

### Affected Area
Scripts (setup, installation)

### Alternatives Considered
Manually symlinking, but that defeats the purpose of the setup script.

Maintainer Approval Workflow

1. New issue arrives with status:needs-review
2. Review the issue — is it valid, clear, and in scope?
3. If YES → add status:approved label
4. If NO → comment with reason, close if needed
5. Contributor can now open a PR linking this issue

Decision Tree

Is it a bug?                    → Use Bug Report template
Is it a new feature/improvement? → Use Feature Request template
Is it a question?               → Use Discussions, NOT issues
Is it a duplicate?              → Link to existing issue, close
