spec-to-issue — Spec to GitHub Issue

Auto-generate GitHub Issues from spec directories (.specs/{feature}/).

Language Rules

1. Auto-detect input language → output in the same language
2. Japanese input → Japanese issue, use references/issue-template.ja.md as template reference
3. English input → English issue, use references/issue-template.md as template reference
4. Explicit override takes priority

Reference file selection: Based on the detected output language, use the corresponding template:

• English → references/issue-template.md
• Japanese → references/issue-template.ja.md

Execution Flow

1. Locate Spec Directory

With argument: spec-to-issue auth-feature → use .specs/auth-feature/

Without argument: Scan .specs/ and present a list → ask user to select

Spec directories found in .specs/:
1. auth-feature (requirement.md, design.md, tasks.md)
2. member-management (requirement.md, tasks.md)
Which spec do you want to create an issue from?

2. File Validation

Required: requirement.md must exist. Otherwise, exit with error. Recommended: tasks.md (if missing, generate a basic checklist) Optional: design.md (used as supplementary info if present)

3. Spec Analysis

Extract from each file:

requirement.md:

• Title: First # line, strip suffixes like "Requirements", "要件定義書"
• Overview: ## Overview or ## 概要 section
• Key features: Sections starting with ### 1., ### 2., etc.
• Tech stack: ## Technology Stack or ## 技術要件 section

tasks.md:

• Phases: Lines starting with ## Phase or ## フェーズ
• Tasks: ### headings within each phase, simplified for checklist
• Done criteria: ## Definition of Done or ## 完了の定義 section
• Notes: ## Notes or ## 注意事項 section

design.md (optional):

• Architecture overview (as supplementary info)

4. Resolve Project Settings

Determine defaults in this priority order:

Command arguments > .specs/.config.yml > CLAUDE.md > Built-in defaults

From CLAUDE.md:

• Branch name: PR target branch from Git Workflow section → --branch default
• GitHub Organization: Inferred from repository URL

.specs/.config.yml (optional):

default-branch: develop
default-labels: [feature, spec-generated]
project-number: 7
assignee: username

5. Compose Issue Body

See template details in the appropriate reference file (based on Language Rules):

• English: references/issue-template.md
• Japanese: references/issue-template.ja.md

6. Create Issue

Without --preview (default): Show a brief summary and execute gh issue create

Creating Issue:
  Title: [Feature] Member Management
  Labels: feature, spec-generated
  Phases: 3
  Tasks: 12
→ Running gh issue create...
Issue #42 created: https://github.com/org/repo/issues/42

With --preview: Display the full issue body, confirm, then execute

7. Additional Actions (optional)

• --label: Apply specified labels
• --project: Add to GitHub Project board via gh project item-add
• --assignee: Set assignee

Options

Integration with spec-generator

After spec-generator's full phase completes, suggest:

All three spec documents have been generated.
→ Create a GitHub Issue from them? (Y/n)

If yes, run spec-to-issue on the same directory.

Error Handling

Usage Examples

# With argument
/spec-to-issue auth-feature

# Auto-detect and select
/spec-to-issue

# With preview
/spec-to-issue auth-feature --preview

# With labels and Project
/spec-to-issue auth-feature --label "feature,priority:high" --project 7

# After spec-generator
"Create full spec for todo-app" → done → "Turn this into an issue"

# Japanese
「仕様書を全部作って」→ 完了 →「これをIssueにして」
