# Create Issue

Draft a focused title and body for a GitHub issue, then file it. Bug reports state reproduction steps and observed versus expected behavior.

## Step 1: Gather Context

Determine what the issue is about from the conversation. When the subject is ambiguous, use `request_user_input` to settle it before drafting.

List the repo's issue templates, read its labels, and search for an existing issue covering the same thing:

```bash
ls .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ 2>/dev/null
gh label list --limit 100
gh issue list --search "<keywords>" --state all
```

When the issue goes to a repository other than the checkout, replace the `ls` with `gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/contents/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE`, read the files it lists through the same API, and pass `--repo <owner>/<repo>` to the label list and the duplicate search.

When the target repository, the checkout included, has no `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE` folder of its own, list its owner's `.github` repository with `gh api repos/<owner>/.github/contents/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE`, whose files GitHub applies to a repository without that folder.

Treat an empty listing or a 404 as normal. When templates exist, read the one matching the kind of issue, and read `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml` when present. Follow the template's structure and required sections, and apply the labels and title prefix the template declares. For a YAML issue form, render each field's `attributes.label` as a `###` heading with the answer beneath, matching what the web form produces. When `config.yml` sets `blank_issues_enabled: false`, choose a template rather than filing a blank issue.

When the search surfaces a plausible duplicate, present it and use `request_user_input` to confirm whether to file anyway.

## Step 2: Run `$github-voice` Skill

Run the `$github-voice` skill to load writing style rules.

## Step 3: Draft Title and Body

Draft the title and body. Output them as chat text so the user can review before anything is filed.

## Step 4: Confirm and Create

Use `request_user_input` for confirmation only. Generate a random tag so the body file is unique across sessions:

```bash
head -c 4 /dev/urandom | xxd -p
```

Write the drafted body to `.turbo/issue/<tag>-body.md` (using the printed tag) with `apply_patch`, then create the issue with `gh issue create --body-file`:

```bash
gh issue create --title "<TITLE>" --body-file .turbo/issue/<tag>-body.md --label "<LABEL>,<LABEL>"
```

Add `--repo <owner>/<repo>` when the issue goes to a repository other than the checkout. Repeat `--label` when the template sets several. Drop `--label` when no existing label fits. Set the issue type with `--type <name>` when a type is asked for or the template declares one; an issue type is a separate feature from a label, so applying a label of the same name leaves the request unmet. Do not set `--assignee` or `--milestone` unless the user explicitly asks.

Then call `update_plan` to mark this step completed and continue with the next step of the active workflow.

## Rules

- Don't reference `.turbo/` content (filenames, acceptance criteria, step numbers, headings) in the title or body. `.turbo/` is gitignored, so these references would be opaque to anyone reading without local copies.
- Create labels only when the user asks.
