GH Issues Orchestrator

What it does

GH Issues Orchestrator automates the workflow of fetching issues from a repository, confirming targets, running pre-flight checks, and spawning focused sub-agents that implement fixes, push branches, and open pull requests using the GitHub REST API. It also collects results, monitors PR reviews, and can spawn review-fix agents to address reviewer comments. The skill is designed for large-scale, repeatable issue processing and supports cron and watch modes.

When to use it

Use this skill when you want automated triage and remediation of actionable GitHub issues—especially for repositories where routine, well-scoped fixes can be automated. It's suitable for teams that permit automated PR creation from sub-agents and for cron-driven workflows that process issues incrementally.

What's included

• Scripts: none detected in the skill directory, but the skill includes extensive procedural instructions for token resolution, Git pre-flight checks, spawning sub-agents, and GitHub API usage.
