.claude/skills/issue-worker/# Issue Worker Skill Spawn a Claude worker to handle a GitHub issue. ## Usage ``` /issue-worker <issue-number> ``` ## Examples ``` /issue-worker 42 /issue-worker 123 ``` ## Instructions When the user invokes `/issue-worker`, follow these steps: ### 1. Fetch Issue Details ```bash gh issue view <issue-number> --json number,title,body,labels,comments ``` ### 2. Generate Branch Name Create a descriptive branch name from the issue: - Format: `feat/issue-<number>-<short-description>` - Example: Issue #42 "Add retry logic" ā `feat/issue-42-add-retry-logic` For bug issues, use `fix/` prefix instead of `feat/`. ### 3. Create Worktree ```bash BRANCH="feat/issue-<number>-<slug>" WORKTREE_PATH="../artemis-issue-<number>" git worktree add "$WORKTREE_PATH" -b "$BRANCH" ``` ### 4. Build Task Prompt Construct a comprehensive prompt for the worker: ``` You are working on GitHub Issue #<number>: <title> ## Issue Description <body> ## Labels <labels> ## Comments <comments if any> ## Your Task 1. Understand the issue requirements 2. Implement the necessary changes 3. Write tests if applicable 4. Commit your changes with message referencing the issue (e.g., "feat: add retry logic (fixes #42)") 5. Push your branch and create a PR ## Guidelines - Follow existing code patterns in the repository - Keep changes focused on the issue scope - Add comments only where logic isn't self-evident ``` ### 5. Spawn Worker ```bash cd "$WORKTREE_PATH" && claude --print --dangerously-skip-permissions "$PROMPT" ``` ### 6. Push and Create PR After the worker completes successfully and has made commits: ```bash # Push the branch to origin git push -u origin "$BRANCH" # Create PR linking to the issue gh pr create --title "<issue title>" --body "$(cat <<'EOF' ## Summary <brief description of changes> Closes #<issue-number> ## Changes <list of key changes made> --- š¤ Generated by Claude worker EOF )" # Enable auto-merge (will merge automatically when CI passes) gh pr merge --aut
