At a glance

Manages GitHub issues and project boards with swarm coordination: issue creation and triage, issue-to-task conversion, progress tracking and stale issue cleanup.

  • Works in 10 steps: Issue Management & Triage → Project Board Automation → Sprint Planning & Tracking → …
  • Creating a set of related issues with coordinated swarm tasks
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Quick Start, Core Capabilities and Issue Templates, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls npx, gh and jq; reaches github.com

What it does

The skill covers issue and board work done through the gh CLI together with swarm agents. It can create single or batch issues, turn an issue into swarm tasks, and respond to comment commands such as /swarm analyze or /swarm decompose, and it shows how to set up a project board starting from the project list.

Triage uses content-based auto-labeling rules kept in a .github/swarm-labels.json file plus a triage command for unlabeled issues. Larger issues are broken into subtasks with automated progress updates written back to the issue, and a section on stale issues describes closing them after swarm analysis. Sprint planning and board automation are named in the skill's scope.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating a set of related issues with coordinated swarm tasks
  • Auto-labeling and triaging issues that have no labels
  • Breaking a large issue into subtasks and tracking progress on it
  • Cleaning up stale issues after analysis

Example prompts

  • “Break issue 456 into subtasks and post a progress update on it.”
  • “Triage all unlabeled issues in the repo and apply labels from the swarm rules.”
  • “Create issues for the advanced authentication feature and add them to the project board.”

Requirements

  • The GitHub CLI (gh), authenticated
  • ruv-swarm or claude-flow, run through npx

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Issue Management & Triage
  2. Project Board Automation
  3. Sprint Planning & Tracking
  4. Advanced Coordination
  5. Swarm-Coordinated Issue Management
  6. Board Organization
  7. Data Integrity
  8. Team Adoption
  9. Smart Labeling and Organization
  10. Automated Progress Tracking

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e993605. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • gh
    • jq

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    Also links to:

    • cli.github.com
    • docs.github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

GitHub Project Management Swarm loads about 7.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 592 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~7.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 592 words (~7,090 tokens).

“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.”
