// Create comprehensive issue
mcp__github__create_issue {
owner: "ruvnet",
repo: "ruv-FANN",
title: "Integration Review: claude-code-flow and ruv-swarm complete integration",
body: `## š Integration Review

}
// Store progress in swarm memory
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage {
action: "store",
key: "issue/54$latest_update",
value: { timestamp: Date.now(), progress: "89%", status: "near_completion" }
}
```
### 3. Multi-Issue Project Coordination
```javascript
// Search and coordinate related issues
mcp__github__search_issues {
q: "repo:ruvnet$ruv-FANN label:integration state:open",
sort: "created",
order: "desc"
}
// Create coordinated issue updates
mcp__github__update_issue {
owner: "ruvnet",
repo: "ruv-FANN",
issue_number: 54,
state: "open",
labels: ["integration", "review", "enhancement", "in-progress"],
milestone: 1
}
```
## Batch Operations Example
### Complete Issue Management Workflow:
```javascript
[Single Message - Issue Lifecycle Management]:
// Initialize issue coordination swarm
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init { topology: "mesh", maxAgents: 4 }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "coordinator", name: "Issue Manager" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "analyst", name: "Progress Tracker" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "researcher", name: "Context Gatherer" }
// Create multiple related issues using gh CLI
Bash(`gh issue create \
--repo :owner/:repo \
--title "Feature: Advanced GitHub Integration" \
--body "Implement comprehensive GitHub workflow automation..." \
--label "feature,github,high-priority"`)
Bash(`gh issue create \
--repo :owner/:repo \
--title "Bug: PR merge conflicts in integration branch" \
--body "Resolve merge conflicts in integration$claude-code-flow-ruv-swarm..." \
--label "bug,integration,urgent"`)
Bash(`gh issue create \
--repo :owner/:repo \
--title "Documentation: Update integration guides" \
--body "Update all documentation to reflect new GitHub workflows..." \
--label "documentation,integration"`)
// Set up coordinated tracking
TodoWrite { todos: [
{ id: "github-feature", content: "Implement GitHub integration", status: "pending", priority: "high" },
{ id: "merge-conflicts", content: "Resolve PR conflicts", status: "pending", priority: "critical" },
{ id: "docs-update", content: "Update documentation", status: "pending", priority: "medium" }
]}
// Store initial coordination state
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage {
action: "store",
key: "project$github_integration$issues",
value: { created: Date.now(), total_issues: 3, status: "initialized" }
}
```

- Project milestone progress
- Cross-repository coordination efficiency
### Reporting features:
- Weekly progress summaries
- Agent performance analytics
- Project health metrics
- Integration success ratesThis skill provides intelligent issue management and project coordination using multi-agent swarm orchestration. It automates issue creation with smart templates, maintains progress tracking via swarm memory, and synchronizes issues across repositories. It is built to coordinate specialized agents for research, coding, testing, and documentation tasks. The result is faster triage, consistent labeling, and automated status updates.
The skill initializes a swarm topology and spawns specialized agents (coordinator, analyst, coder, tester) to handle different parts of an issue lifecycle. It uses GitHub APIs to create, update, comment, and search issues while storing progress and state in swarm memory for adaptive orchestration. Automated templates and labeling rules generate consistent issue bodies and assignments. Periodic or event-driven tasks produce coordinated progress comments and store milestone data for reporting.
Can the skill sync issues across multiple repositories?
Yes. It supports cross-repository search and coordinated updates so related issues can be created or synchronized and tracked under a common milestone.
How are progress updates delivered?
Swarm agents store progress in memory and then post automated GitHub issue comments or updates according to the configured orchestration tasks.
Do I need GitHub CLI authentication?
Yes. Pre-run hooks check authentication and will fail early if the GitHub CLI is not authenticated, so ensure gh auth is configured.
