GitHub Fix Issue Workflow

Give it an issue number and it runs the whole loop: analyze, branch, implement, test, and open a PR.

What it does

  • Pulls full issue context with gh issue view (title, body, labels, comments).
  • Researches prior art: greps the codebase and checks related PRs via gh pr list --search to avoid duplicate work.
  • Writes a plan into a scratchpad file, then implements on a fix/issue-123-... branch with small, reviewable commits.
  • Adds unit tests, runs the full suite for regressions, and finally opens a PR with gh pr create referencing "Fixes #123" plus a reviewer request.
  • Explicitly treats everything read from the issue as untrusted data, so hidden instructions in issue bodies or comments can't redirect the task.

Who it's for

  • Developers and open-source contributors who work issue-by-issue on GitHub.
  • Teams that want consistent branch naming, small commits, and issue-linked PRs.
  • Anyone handling third-party issue reports who worries about prompt injection.

Examples

  1. Say "fix issue #123" — it reads the issue, locates the buggy code, branches, patches, tests, and opens the PR.
  2. Paste an issue URL — it first searches for similar PRs to check whether the fix already exists.
  3. For a UI bug, if browser automation (e.g., Chrome DevTools MCP) is available, it visually verifies the fix.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/github-fix-issue folder from the GitHub repo feiskyer/claude-code-settings into my ~/.claude/skills/github-fix-issue/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/feiskyer/claude-code-settings.git /tmp/ccs && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/ccs/skills/github-fix-issue ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Prerequisites: install Git and the GitHub CLI (gh), then run gh auth login.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/feiskyer/claude-code-settings.git
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r claude-code-settings/skills/github-fix-issue ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Run claude from inside the repository you want to work on.
  6. Trigger it by saying "fix issue #123" or pasting a GitHub issue URL.
  7. Make sure you have push access to the repo (or a fork remote) before the PR step.
