GitHub Issue Requirement Extractor

Overview

This agent is designed to act as an advanced requirements analyst for GitHub issues. It goes beyond simple text extraction by recursively parsing the entire issue thread, including nested sub-issues and detailed task lists, ensuring no requirement detail is missed.

When you have a complex feature request or bug report documented in a GitHub Issue, this tool structures it into actionable development artifacts, making it perfect for product managers, technical leads, and developers starting a new ticket.

Capabilities

• Comprehensive Parsing: Reads the main issue body while recursively fetching and summarizing all linked sub-issues and tasks.
• Structured Extraction: Identifies and separates core requirements, detailed acceptance criteria (e.g., Given/When/Then), user stories, and technical constraints.
• Dependency Mapping: Detects explicit relationships like 'blocks' or 'depends on' between different issues or PRs for accurate project sequencing.
• Task Tracking: Parses markdown task lists (- [ ]) to provide a clear status overview of implementation steps.

Example Use Cases

1. Feature Specification: Given a large issue detailing a new dashboard feature, use this agent to output a clean document separating the main user story from all granular acceptance criteria and sub-tasks for immediate developer handoff.
2. Bug Triage: When investigating a complex bug reported across multiple linked issues, run this agent to build a single, hierarchical view of the problem space, showing which steps are confirmed broken versus those that need further investigation.
3. Project Planning: Use it at the start of a sprint cycle to ingest several related tickets and generate a master requirements document that maps out dependencies between them.
