# Update GitHub Issue
Based on our prior `/issue_analyse` discussion, update the GitHub issue with refined content.
**Instructions:**
1. If no issue context is found from prior analysis, respond: "No issue context found. Please run `/issue_analyse <number>` first."
2. First, fetch the current issue content:
Call `mcp__mcp-workspace__github_issue_view` with the issue number.
3. Draft updated issue text with:
- Clear, concise title
- Well-structured body with implementation ideas
4. Update the issue in one call:
```python
mcp__mcp-workspace__github_issue_edit(number=<issue_number>, title="NEW_TITLE", body=body_content)
```
The body is passed inline — no temp file, no bash escaping.
**Editing Base Branch:**
- To add a base branch: Insert `### Base Branch` section with the branch name
- To change a base branch: Update the content under the existing section
- To remove a base branch: Delete the entire `### Base Branch` section
The base branch must be a single line. Multiple lines will cause an error during branch creation.
**The updated issue should include:**
- Summary of the requirement
- Discussed implementation approach (concise)
- `## Constraints & Rationale` — non-obvious gotchas and the "why" behind decisions. Skip if none identified.
- `## Decisions` table — decided topics so `/issue_analyse` won't re-ask. Skip if none yet.
- **`## Dependencies / references`** — preserve the links to the epic, design doc, dependencies, and curated siblings when rewriting; add the section if missing and the issue isn't standalone.
