Create Issue

create-issue

Create a new GitHub issue with the right type, title, description, labels, and assignees — guided by the agent's detection of issue type and pre-filled from available templates.

When to Use It

• Reporting a bug with all the right context fields
• Filing a feature request that follows project templates
• Creating a simple task or question with minimal friction
• When you want the agent to pre-fill a template so you only review and confirm

How to Launch It

In GitHub Copilot Chat:

/create-issue owner/repo "Login page flickers on mobile Safari"

Or describe the issue naturally:

/create-issue owner/repo I found a bug where the login form submits twice

What to Expect

1. Detect issue type — Agent classifies as Bug / Feature / Task / Question based on the description
2. Load template — Finds the matching issue template from .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ if one exists
3. Pre-fill fields — Populates title, description, labels, and suggested assignee from context
4. Preview and confirm — Shows the complete draft before creating
5. Create issue — Posts to GitHub only after you confirm; returns the issue URL and number
