Issuify

IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, check if the GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable is set.

If GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN is not set in the environment, STOP immediately and output:

GitHub Personal Access Token not found.

The issuify plugin requires a GitHub PAT because the GitHub MCP server doesn't support OAuth.

Setup instructions:

1. Create a GitHub PAT at https://github.com/settings/tokens
   Required scope: repo

2. Set the environment variable:
   export GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN="your_token_here"

3. Add to your shell profile to persist across sessions:
   echo 'export GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN="your_token_here"' >> ~/.zshrc

4. Restart Claude Code after setting the variable

Then run /issuify again.

If the token IS set, proceed with the normal workflow:

Review all changed files since upstream branch. Include work we're aware of. Ask about unexpected changes.

Use the GitHub Copilot MCP server tools to create both the issue and PR:

mcp__github__create_issue - Create the GitHub issue
mcp__github__create_pull_request - Create the pull request

Issue (what & why)

Write casual, precise language. No fluff. Focus on bottom line.

Problem: What's broken or missing (1-2 sentences max)
Value: Why it matters (1 sentence)
Solution: What we're doing (2-3 bullets, not exhaustive)

Target 3-5 sentences total. Skip obvious details.

PR (how)

Write casual, precise language. No frilly technical jargon.

Summary: What changed (2-3 bullets max, technical but simple)
Why: How it solves the issue (1 sentence linking back)
Test: What to check (2-3 bullets, just key things)

Target 4-6 sentences total. Cut anything that doesn't add value.

Style

Casual but exact (like talking to a teammate)
No fake technical voice, no marketing speak
Skip words like "comprehensive", "robust", "ensure", "carefully"
Bottom line first, skip exhaustive details
