Issue Draft Skill

Creates a well-structured GitHub Issue draft from vague user requirements.

Note: This skill is also used as part of the /create-issue workflow for learning purposes.

Process

1. Gather context from user input (1-3 lines of what they want)
2. Identify gaps - if information is insufficient, ask up to 4 clarifying questions using AskUserQuestion:
   • Who has what problem? (Background/Why)
   • What defines success? (Acceptance Criteria)
   • What are we NOT doing? (Non-goals)
   • Any constraints or impacts? (Constraints)
3. Generate draft with all sections filled

Output Files

ISSUE_TITLE.txt

A short, actionable title (1 line).

Example:

Add snake_case to camelCase conversion function

ISSUE_DRAFT.md

Complete GitHub Issue body in this format:

## Problem / Why
[2-4 lines explaining the background and motivation]

## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] [Observable outcome with example if possible]
- [ ] [Given/When/Then format preferred]
- [ ] [3-5 specific, testable criteria]

## Non-goals
- [What we explicitly won't do - 2-4 items]

## Constraints
- [Technical or business constraints - 1-3 items if applicable]

## Tasks
- [ ] Run /spec to create spec.md
- [ ] Run /plan to create plan.md
- [ ] Implement changes
- [ ] Run make test
- [ ] Create PR

Rules

• Acceptance Criteria MUST be observable - avoid "can do X", prefer "when Y, then Z"
• Do NOT write code - focus only on creating the Issue
• Keep it concise - don't inflate bullet points unnecessarily
• Ask questions if requirements are vague - better to clarify upfront

Example Usage

User: "Add a function to convert text to camelCase"

Skill asks:

• Who needs this? (Background)
• What inputs/outputs? (AC)
• What won't we support? (Non-goals)
• Any constraints? (Performance, compatibility)

Then generates ISSUE_TITLE.txt and ISSUE_DRAFT.md.
