Do issue

When NOT To Use

• A single-file fix obvious enough to make directly
• Preparing the PR once the work is done (use sanctum:pr-prep)

Fix Issue(s)

Retrieves issue content from the detected git platform (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) and uses subagent-driven-development to systematically address requirements, executing tasks in parallel where dependencies allow.

Platform detection is automatic via the leyline:git-platform SessionStart hook. Check session context for git_platform: to determine which CLI to use.

Key Features

• Cross-Platform: Automatically detects GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket and uses appropriate CLI
• Flexible Input: Single issue number, platform URL, or space-delimited list
• Parallel Execution: Independent tasks run concurrently via subagents
• One PR: All issues produce one consolidated PR (never per-issue PRs)
• Quality Gates: Code review between task groups
• Fresh Context: Each subagent starts with clean context for focused work

Workflow Overview

Phase	Description	Module
1. Discovery	Parse input, fetch issues, extract requirements	issue-discovery
2. Planning	Analyze dependencies, create task breakdown	task-planning
3. Execution	Dispatch parallel subagents for independent tasks	parallel-execution
4. Quality	Code review gates between task batches	quality-gates
5-6. Completion	Sequential tasks, final review, issue updates	completion

Required TodoWrite Items

1. do-issue:discovery-complete
2. do-issue:tasks-planned
3. do-issue:parallel-batch-complete
4. do-issue:review-passed
5. do-issue:sequential-complete
6. do-issue:issues-updated

Forge CLI Commands

Use the platform detected in session context (git_platform:). See Skill(leyline:git-platform) for full mapping.

Operation	GitHub (gh)	GitLab (glab)
Fetch issue	gh issue view <N> --json title,body,labels,comments	glab issue view <N>
Comment	gh issue comment <N> --body "msg"	glab issue note <N> --message "msg"
Close	gh issue close <N> --comment "reason"	glab issue close <N>
Search	gh issue list --search "query"	glab issue list --search "query"

Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.

Agent Teams (Default Execution Mode)

Agent teams is the default parallel execution backend for do-issue. Teammates coordinate via filesystem-based messaging, enabling real-time communication when shared files or dependencies are discovered mid-implementation.

Automatic downgrade: For single issues with --scope minor, agent teams is skipped (Task tool or inline execution is used instead). Use --no-agent-teams to force Task tool dispatch for any invocation.

Requires: Claude Code 2.1.32+, tmux, CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1. If prerequisites are missing, silently falls back to Task tool dispatch.

# Agent teams configuration
fix_issue:
  agent_teams:
    enabled: true           # on by default; --no-agent-teams to disable
    max_teammates: 4        # limit concurrent workers
    model: sonnet           # teammate model (lead uses current model)
    auto_downgrade: true    # skip agent teams for --scope minor

See modules/parallel-execution.md for detailed agent teams patterns.

Configuration

fix_issue:
  parallel_execution: true
  max_parallel_subagents: 3
  review_between_batches: true
  auto_close_issues: false
  commit_per_task: true

Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.

Detailed Resources

• Phase 1: See modules/issue-discovery.md for input parsing and requirement extraction
• Phase 2: See modules/task-planning.md for dependency analysis
• Phase 3: See modules/parallel-execution.md for subagent dispatch
• Phase 4: See modules/quality-gates.md for review patterns
• Phase 5-6: See modules/completion.md for finalization
• Errors: See modules/troubleshooting.md for common issues

Exit Criteria

• All 6 required TodoWrite items (do-issue:discovery-complete through do-issue:issues-updated) are created before execution starts and each marked complete when its phase finishes
• Issue requirements fetched using the correct forge CLI (gh for GitHub, glab for GitLab) as detected in session context
• Exactly one consolidated PR is opened covering all issues; no per-issue PRs are created
• Code review gate runs between parallel task batches and must pass before the next batch is dispatched
• All specified issues are commented on or closed with a reference to the PR after it is ready for review
