Automated summary

Creates well-structured GitHub issues for the MCPSpy project through the gh command-line tool, following a feat/chore/fix naming convention.

Strengths

  • Automatically applies the project's feat(component)/fix(component)/chore title convention
  • Keeps issue bodies at an actionable POC level instead of exhaustive specification
  • Uses --body-file for long descriptions, avoiding shell escaping problems
  • Restricts its tool scope to gh issue, limiting unintended actions

Limitations

  • Tightly coupled to the MCPSpy project and its component names (ebpf, mcp, library-manager, etc.)
  • Does not cover editing, triaging, or closing existing issues
  • Guidelines deliberately exclude test plans and acceptance criteria, which may be too thin for critical work
When to use it

Use it when you need to quickly file a well-titled GitHub issue for a feature, bug, or technical debt item in MCPSpy.

When not to use it

Avoid it for tickets that require detailed acceptance criteria, test plans, or a full technical specification.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score85/100

The skill only permits Bash commands restricted to 'gh issue:*' subcommands for creating GitHub issues. It does not instruct destructive actions, exfiltration, obfuscation, or disabling safety. Writing issue bodies to temporary files and using --body-file is a legitimate pattern and remains within the allowed tool scope.

How this analysis is made

Examples

Feature request
Create a GitHub issue for MCPSpy proposing support for container runtime detection in the library manager.
Bug report
Open an issue reporting that the ebpf module fails to load on older kernel versions.
Technical debt
File a chore issue for updating MCPSpy dependencies to the latest versions.

GitHub Issue Creator Skill

Automates the creation of well-structured GitHub issues for the MCPSpy project.

Tools and Usage

Use the gh issue CLI tool to create GitHub issues. If the issue body is rather long, write it to a temporary markdown file and use the gh issue create --body-file <file> option.

Issue Naming Convention

  • Use standard prefixes: feat(component):, chore:, fix(component):
  • Component examples: library-manager, ebpf, mcp, http, output
  • Brackets are optional but recommended for clarity
  • Keep titles concise and descriptive

Examples

  • feat(library-manager): add support for container runtime detection
  • chore: update dependencies to latest versions
  • fix(ebpf): handle kernel version compatibility issues

Issue Content Guidelines

What to Include

  • High-level design notes - focus on the "what" and "why"
  • POC-level details - enough to get started, not exhaustive
  • Actionable scope - should be implementable by a developer familiar with the codebase

What NOT to Include

  • Detailed test plans
  • Exhaustive acceptance criteria
  • Deep technical specifications
  • Code examples (unless absolutely necessary for clarity)

When to Use This Skill

  • Creating new feature requests
  • Reporting bugs and issues
  • Documenting technical debt
  • Planning work items for the MCPSpy project

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/github-issue-creator-mm5t89pe/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/github-issue-creator-mm5t89pe' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/github-issue-creator-mm5t89pe/download' --output '.skill-downloads/github-issue-creator-mm5t89pe/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/github-issue-creator-mm5t89pe/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/github-issue-creator-mm5t89pe/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/github-issue-creator-mm5t89pe'

openskills read 'github-issue-creator-mm5t89pe'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/github-issue-creator-mm5t89pe/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
