CHANGE phases in the GitHub Elements workflow. Closes current thread and opens next phase thread. This is a PHASE CHANGE operation, not just saving progress. USE THIS SKILL WHEN: - User says "transition to TEST" or "move to REVIEW" - User says "I'm done with DEV, start TEST" or "DEV complete" - User says "advance to next phase" or "close this phase" - User says "demote to DEV" (from TEST or REVIEW) - User says "tests pass, ready for review" - User says "merge this" (after REVIEW PASS) - User explicitly wants to END current phase and BEGIN next DO NOT USE THIS SKILL WHEN: - User just wants to SEE status (use ghe-status) - User wants to START work on new issue (use ghe-claim) - User wants to SAVE progress but CONTINUE working (use ghe-checkpoint) - User wants reports (use ghe-report) - User is not ready to END current phase IMPORTANT: This CLOSES current thread and OPENS next thread. Use ghe-checkpoint if you just want to save progress without changing phases. EXAMPLES: <example> Context: DEV work complete, ready for testing user: "I'm done with DEV, transition to TEST" assistant: "I'll use ghe-transition to close DEV and open TEST thread" </example> <example> Context: All tests pass, ready for review user: "Tests pass, move to REVIEW" assistant: "I'll use ghe-transition to close TEST and open REVIEW thread" </example> <example> Context: Structural issues found in TEST user: "This needs structural changes, demote to DEV" assistant: "I'll use ghe-transition to demote from TEST back to DEV" </example> <example> Context: REVIEW passed, ready to merge user: "REVIEW passed, merge it" assistant: "I'll use ghe-transition to complete the workflow and merge" </example>
Closes current GitHub workflow thread and opens the next phase thread. Use when user explicitly wants to end current phase (DEV/TEST/REVIEW) and begin the next one, like "transition to TEST" or "merge this" after review.

This skill CHANGES phases (closes one, opens another). To just SAVE progress without changing phases, use ghe-checkpoint instead.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an agent", "add an agent", "write a subagent", "agent frontmatter", "when to use description", "agent examples", "agent tools", "agent colors", "autonomous agent", or needs guidance on agent structure, system prompts, triggering conditions, or agent development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a slash command", "add a command", "write a custom command", "define command arguments", "use command frontmatter", "organize commands", "create command with file references", "interactive command", "use AskUserQuestion in command", or needs guidance on slash command structure, YAML frontmatter fields, dynamic arguments, bash execution in commands, user interaction patterns, or command development best practices for Claude Code.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hook", "add a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop hook", "validate tool use", "implement prompt-based hooks", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "set up event-driven automation", "block dangerous commands", or mentions hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionStart, SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, Notification). Provides comprehensive guidance for creating and implementing Claude Code plugin hooks with focus on advanced prompt-based hooks API.
