Create Issue Gate

Overview

Create GitHub issues as the single tracking entrypoint for tasks, with a hard gate on acceptance criteria.

Core rule: no explicit, testable acceptance criteria from user => issue stays

draft
and execution is blocked.

When to Use

  • You are starting a new implementation task and want a GitHub issue to be the required tracking entrypoint.
  • The work must be blocked until the user provides explicit, testable acceptance criteria.
  • You need to distinguish between
    draft
    ,
    ready
    , and
    blocked
    work before execution begins.

Required Fields

Every issue must include these sections:

  • Problem
  • Goal
  • Scope
  • Non-Goals
  • Acceptance Criteria
  • Dependencies/Blockers
  • Status (
    draft
    |
    ready
    |
    blocked
    |
    done
    )

Acceptance Criteria Gate

Acceptance criteria are valid only when they are testable and pass/fail checkable.

Examples:

  • valid: "CreateCheckoutLambda-dev returns an openable third-party payment checkout URL"
  • invalid: "fix checkout" / "improve UX" / "make it better"

If criteria are missing or non-testable:

  • still create the issue
  • set
    Status: draft
  • add
    Execution Gate: blocked (missing valid acceptance criteria)
  • do not move task to execution

Issue Creation Mode

Default mode is direct GitHub creation using

gh issue create
.

Use a body template like:

## Problem
<what is broken or missing>

## Goal
<what outcome is expected>

## Scope
- <in scope item>

## Non-Goals
- <out of scope item>

## Acceptance Criteria
- <explicit, testable criterion 1>

## Dependencies/Blockers
- <dependency or none>

## Status
draft|ready|blocked|done

## Execution Gate
allowed|blocked (<reason>)

Status Rules

  • draft
    : missing/weak acceptance criteria or incomplete task definition
  • ready
    : acceptance criteria are explicit and testable
  • blocked
    : external dependency prevents progress
  • done
    : acceptance criteria verified with evidence

Never mark an issue

ready
without valid acceptance criteria.

Handoff to Execution

Execution workflows (for example

closed-loop-delivery
) may start only when:

  • issue status is
    ready
  • execution gate is
    allowed

If issue is

draft
, stop and request user-provided acceptance criteria.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
