/personal:dev:tasks-newgh - Create Task from GitHub Issue

Purpose

Create a new unprioritized task from a GitHub issue by fetching its title and content.

Usage

/personal:dev:tasks-newgh [issue-url-or-number]

Arguments

• issue-url-or-number - GitHub issue URL (e.g., https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123) or issue number for current repo

Execution

1. Get issue reference

   • If $ARGUMENTS provided: use it as the issue reference
   • If no arguments: ask user "Enter GitHub issue URL or issue number:"

2. Determine issue type and fetch data

   • If input matches GitHub URL pattern (https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123):
     • Use gh issue view <URL> --json title,body,url to fetch data
   • If input is just a number:
     • Use gh issue view <number> --json title,body,url to fetch data
   • If neither, report error: "Invalid input. Please provide a GitHub issue URL or issue number."

3. Create task file

   • Extract issue title, body, and URL from the gh command output

   • Convert title to kebab-case for filename (lowercase, alphanumeric only, max 5 words)

   • Create file: docs/tasks-todo/task-x-[kebab-title].md

   • Write content in this exact format:

     # Task: [Original Issue Title]
     
     [Issue URL]
     
     [Issue Body Content]
     

4. Report result

   • Output: "Created task from issue: [filename]"
   • If any step fails, report the specific error

Example Commands

• For issue URL: gh issue view https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123 --json title,body,url
• For issue number: gh issue view 123 --json title,body,url
• Create directory: mkdir -p docs/tasks-todo
• Parse JSON: Use the -q flag like gh issue view 123 --json title -q .title

Other Rules & Information

• Supports both full GitHub URLs and issue numbers (for current repo)
• Attempts direct API fetch for URLs before falling back to gh CLI
• Preserves the original issue content without reformatting
• Issue URL is always included below the title for reference
• Requires either curl or gh CLI to be available
