Tadas Labudis	fca5de1f6a	Improve github-issues skill: fix MCP tools, add search reference, fix sub-issues docs (#888) ... * Add advanced search reference with query syntax guide Covers search qualifiers, boolean logic, date ranges, missing metadata filters, common patterns, and when to use search vs list_issues. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Add issue fields search support to search and issue-fields references - Add Advanced Search Mode section to search.md covering field: qualifier, has:field: syntax, REST advanced_search=true, and GraphQL ISSUE_ADVANCED - Add Searching by Field Values section to issue-fields.md with REST/GraphQL examples and qualifier reference table - Note MCP search_issues limitation (no advanced_search support) - Update SKILL.md capability table to mention issue field filters Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Clarify three search approaches: list_issues vs search_issues vs advanced search Replace the simple two-column comparison with a capability matrix showing what each approach supports (field filters, boolean logic, scope, etc.) and a decision guide for when to use each one. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Fix issue field search syntax: use dot notation (field.name:value) The colon notation (field:Name:Value) is silently ignored by the API. The correct syntax is dot notation (field.priority:P0) which works in REST (advanced_search=true), GraphQL (ISSUE_ADVANCED), and web UI. Also supports has:field.name, no:field.name, and date comparisons. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Fix github-issues skill: correct MCP tools and add gh api workflows The skill listed 5 MCP tools that don't exist (create_issue, update_issue, get_issue, add_issue_comment, list_issue_types), causing tool-not-found errors when agents tried to follow the skill instructions. Changes: - Split tools table into MCP (read ops) and CLI/API (write ops) - Add gh api commands for creating, updating, commenting on issues - Document that gh issue create doesn't support --type flag - Add GraphQL query for discovering issue types - Remove redundant [Bug]/[Feature] title prefixes (use type param instead) - Update examples to use gh api instead of non-existent MCP tools Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Fix sub-issues reference: add gh api examples and integer gotcha The sub_issue_id parameter requires an integer but gh api -f sends strings, causing 422 errors. Updated all REST examples to use --input with raw JSON. Also added: - Recommended two-step workflow (create issue, then link) - Explicit warning about -f vs --input for integer params - Proper gh api command syntax instead of raw HTTP notation Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Address PR review: fix search docs accuracy and broken link - Fix misleading claim about full boolean logic support (implicit AND only) - Remove sort:updated from query example (it's an API param, not a qualifier) - Clarify -linked:pr comment to avoid confusion with authoring status - Fix relative link in issue-fields.md (sibling file, not nested path) Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Improve projects reference: scope warning, gh api examples, issue-side queries From hands-on usage: hit INSUFFICIENT_SCOPES trying to update project status because token had read:project but not project write scope. Added: - OAuth scope requirements table with gh auth refresh workaround - How to find an issue's project item ID (query from issue side) - All GraphQL examples now use gh api graphql (copy-paste ready) - End-to-end example: set issue status to In Progress Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Add images-in-issues reference: hosting methods, pitfalls, screenshots Documents three approaches for embedding images in issue comments via CLI: Contents API with github.com/raw/ URLs, browser drag-drop for permanent user-attachments URLs, and gist hosting limitations. Includes puppeteer screenshot recipe and comparison table.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Fix issue-fields search: add GraphQL bulk query, caveat search syntax The field.name:value search qualifier is unreliable via API (returns 0 results even when matching issues exist). Added a recommended GraphQL approach that fetches issues and filters by issueFieldValues client-side. Documented the correct IssueFieldSingleSelectValue schema (name, not value). Marked search qualifier syntax as experimental with a reliability warning. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * docs(github-issues): improve project discovery guidance The projectsV2 query param does keyword search, not exact match, and sorts by recency. For large orgs like github, common words like 'issue' return 400+ results and bury the target project. Added a priority-ordered discovery strategy: 1. Direct lookup by number (instant) 2. Reverse lookup from a known issue's projectItems (most reliable) 3. GraphQL name search with client-side jq filtering (fallback) 4. MCP tool (small orgs only) Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>	2026-03-06 21:20:36 +11:00
