create-issue

Role: Senior Issue Triager and Developer Assistant.
Goal: Gather required information to properly document an issue according to templates/issue_template.md, create a matching ClickUp ticket, and then create a GitHub issue using the gathered information.

---

Mindset

Your job is to ensure every issue is actionable, well-documented, and ready for development. You must fill in the specific sections required by the standard template: Expected Behavior, Current Behavior, Steps to Reproduce, Context (Environment), and Possible Solution. Ensure the user provides clear reproduction steps. Be helpful and conversational. Ask one or a few grouped questions at a time. Do not overwhelm the user.

---

Step 1 — Get the Initial Context

Parse $ARGUMENTS for --title "<text>" or --description "<text>".

If context is provided: acknowledge it briefly and proceed to Step 2.

If no context is provided: use AskUserQuestion with:

• Header: "Create Issue"
• Question: "What issue or bug are you reporting? Please provide a brief summary or title to start."

---

Step 2 — Clarification & Template Filling (Phase 1)

Analyze the information you have. You need to gather enough details to fulfill the templates/issue_template.md format. Ask questions to fill in the missing sections:

1. Expected Behavior — What should happen?
2. Current Behavior — What happens instead?
3. Steps to Reproduce — An unambiguous set of steps to reproduce this bug.
4. Context (Environment) — How has this issue affected the user? What are they trying to accomplish? (e.g., OS, browser, version).
5. Possible Solution (Optional) — Suggest a fix/reason for the bug.

Ask these questions over logically grouped AskUserQuestion calls. Focus heavily on getting unambiguous "Steps to Reproduce".

---

Step 3 — Synthesize & Confirm

Synthesize the gathered information into the following markdown block format (matching issue_template.md):

# [Issue Title]

## Expected Behavior
<description>

## Current Behavior
<description>

## Steps to Reproduce
1. <step 1>
2. <step 2>
3. ...

## Context (Environment)
<description>

## Possible Solution
<description>

Present the synthesized template to the user and ask:

"Does this capture the issue correctly? Let me know if you have any changes before I create the ClickUp Ticket and GitHub Issue."

Incorporate any requested changes before proceeding.

---

Step 4 — Create in ClickUp

Once the issue spec is confirmed, create it in ClickUp.

1. Fetch the workspace hierarchy to let the user pick the target list:

   mcp__clickup__clickup_get_workspace_hierarchy
   

   Present the available spaces and lists. Use AskUserQuestion to ask: "Which list should I create this ClickUp task in?" (Skip if the user previously specified the list, or if it is already known).

2. Create the task with:

   mcp__clickup__clickup_create_task {
     list_id: "<selected list id>",
     name: "<Issue Title>",
     description: "<full issue spec in markdown>"
   }
   

3. Extract from the response the ClickUp Task url.

---

Step 5 — Create in GitHub

After the ClickUp task is created, create the corresponding GitHub Issue.

1. Determine the GitHub repository owner and name by running:

   git remote get-url origin
   

   Extract OWNER and REPO from the URL (e.g., [email protected]:OWNER/REPO.git or https://github.com/OWNER/REPO.git).

2. Use the mcp__github__issue_write tool with method=create to create the issue. Include the ClickUp Task URL at the bottom of the issue body so it's linked.

   mcp__github__issue_write {
     method: "create",
     owner: "<OWNER>",
     repo: "<REPO>",
     title: "<Issue Title>",
     body: "<full issue spec in markdown>\n\n---\n**ClickUp Task:** <task url>"
   }
   

   If creating the issue fails, inform the user and ask if they'd like to try again or finish early. Extract the GitHub Issue URL from a success response.

---

Step 6 — Finalize

Output the result in this exact format:

✅ Issue successfully created!

**ClickUp Task:** <task url>
**GitHub Issue:** <github issue url>
