GitHub Project Management

Overview

A comprehensive skill for managing GitHub projects using AI swarm coordination. This skill combines intelligent issue management, automated project board synchronization, and swarm-based coordination for efficient project delivery.

Quick Start

Basic Issue Creation with Swarm Coordination

# Create a coordinated issue
gh issue create \
  --title "Feature: Advanced Authentication" \
  --body "Implement OAuth2 with social login..." \
  --label "enhancement,swarm-ready"

# Initialize swarm for issue
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks pre-task --description "Feature implementation"

Project Board Quick Setup

# Get project ID
PROJECT_ID=$(gh project list --owner @me --format json | \
  jq -r '.projects[0].id')

# Initialize board sync
npx ruv-swarm github board-init \
  --project-id "$PROJECT_ID" \
  --sync-mode "bidirectional"

Core Capabilities

1. Issue Management & Triage

<details> <summary><strong>Automated Issue Creation</strong></summary>

Single Issue with Swarm Coordination

// Initialize issue management swarm
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init { topology: "star", maxAgents: 3 }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "coordinator", name: "Issue Coordinator" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "researcher", name: "Requirements Analyst" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "coder", name: "Implementation Planner" }

// Create comprehensive issue
mcp__github__create_issue {
  owner: "org",
  repo: "repository",
  title: "Integration Review: Complete system integration",
  body: `## 🔄 Integration Review

  ### Overview
  Comprehensive review and integration between components.

  ### Objectives
  - [ ] Verify dependencies and imports
  - [ ] Ensure API integration
  - [ ] Check hook system integration
  - [ ] Validate data systems alignment

  ### Swarm Coordination
  This issue will be managed by coordinated swarm agents for optimal progress tracking.`,
  labels: ["integration", "review", "enhancement"],
  assignees: ["username"]
}

// Set up automated tracking
mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate {
  task: "Monitor and coordinate issue progress with automated updates",
  strategy: "adaptive",
  priority: "medium"
}

Batch Issue Creation

# Create multiple related issues using gh CLI
gh issue create \
  --title "Feature: Advanced GitHub Integration" \
  --body "Implement comprehensive GitHub workflow automation..." \
  --label "feature,github,high-priority"

gh issue create \
  --title "Bug: Merge conflicts in integration branch" \
  --body "Resolve merge conflicts..." \
  --label "bug,integration,urgent"

gh issue create \
  --title "Documentation: Update integration guides" \
  --body "Update all documentation..." \
  --label "documentation,integration"

<details> <summary><strong>Issue-to-Swarm Conversion</strong></summary>

Transform Issues into Swarm Tasks

# Get issue details
ISSUE_DATA=$(gh issue view 456 --json title,body,labels,assignees,comments)

# Create swarm from issue
npx ruv-swarm github issue-to-swarm 456 \
  --issue-data "$ISSUE_DATA" \
  --auto-decompose \
  --assign-agents

# Batch process multiple issues
ISSUES=$(gh issue list --label "swarm-ready" --json number,title,body,labels)
npx ruv-swarm github issues-batch \
  --issues "$ISSUES" \
  --parallel

# Update issues with swarm status
echo "$ISSUES" | jq -r '.[].number' | while read -r num; do
  gh issue edit $num --add-label "swarm-processing"
done

Issue Comment Commands

Execute swarm operations via issue comments:

<!-- In issue comment -->
/swarm analyze
/swarm decompose 5
/swarm assign @agent-coder
/swarm estimate
/swarm start

<details> <summary><strong>Automated Issue Triage</strong></summary>

Auto-Label Based on Content

// .github/swarm-labels.json
{
  "rules": [
    {
      "keywords": ["bug", "error", "broken"],
      "labels": ["bug", "swarm-debugger"],
      "agents": ["debugger", "tester"]
    },
    {
      "keywords": ["feature", "implement", "add"],
      "labels": ["enhancement", "swarm-feature"],
      "agents": ["architect", "coder", "tester"]
    },
    {
      "keywords": ["slow", "performance", "optimize"],
      "labels": ["performance", "swarm-optimizer"],
      "agents": ["analyst", "optimizer"]
    }
  ]
}

Automated Triage System

# Analyze and triage unlabeled issues
npx ruv-swarm github triage \
  --unlabeled \
  --analyze-content \
  --suggest-labels \
  --assign-priority

# Find and link duplicate issues
npx ruv-swarm github find-duplicates \
  --threshold 0.8 \
  --link-related \
  --close-duplicates

Break Down Issues into Subtasks

# Get issue body
ISSUE_BODY=$(gh issue view 456 --json body --jq '.body')

# Decompose into subtasks
SUBTASKS=$(npx ruv-swarm github issue-decompose 456 \
  --body "$ISSUE_BODY" \
  --max-subtasks 10 \
  --assign-priorities)

# Update issue with checklist
CHECKLIST=$(echo "$SUBTASKS" | jq -r '.tasks[] | "- [ ] " + .description')
