* 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

* 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.

* 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.

* 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

* 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)

* 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

* 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.

Run npm run build to regenerate skill listing.

* 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.

* 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)

* Split skill into reference files per reviewer feedback
Move sub-issues, dependencies, issue types, projects, and issue fields
into separate references/ files. Main SKILL.md now contains core MCP
workflow and a capability table pointing to each reference. This way
the agent only loads the knowledge it needs for the specific task.

color-coded risk indicators.
Includes:
- Standalone skill (skills/noob-mode/) with SKILL.md and bundled
glossary (100+ terms) and before/after examples

- Change invocation to /sponsor owner/repo
- Rename 'Sponsor These' to 'Ways to Give Back'
- Soften language: never shame unfunded projects
- Add rule: always be encouraging, never shaming
- Regenerate READMEs
Major upgrade:
- deps.dev GetDependencies: full tree in one call (direct + transitive)
- deps.dev GetVersion: cross-ecosystem package→repo mapping (7 ecosystems)
- deps.dev GetProject: OSSF Scorecard health data per project
- Direct vs transitive column (✅ vs ⛓️)
- Health column from Scorecard Maintained check
- Actionable minimum: '💡 Sponsoring just N people covers all funded deps'
- Graceful fallback to registry APIs if deps.dev unavailable
