GitHub Issue Close

When to use

The user asks to close or resolve an issue.
Work is finished, or the issue is duplicate/invalid/out of scope.

Inputs to confirm

Issue number or URL.
Target repo if not the current repo (--repo OWNER/REPO).
Close reason: completed or not planned.
Optional closing comment text.

Workflow

Verify auth and access:
```
gh --version
gh auth status
```

Check current state:

gh issue view 123 --json number,title,state,stateReason

Close with the right reason and optional comment:

gh issue close 123 --reason "completed"
gh issue close 123 --reason "not planned" --comment "Duplicate of #45"

Verify closure:

gh issue view 123 --json state,stateReason,closedAt --jq '"\(.state) \(.stateReason) \(.closedAt)"'

Examples

# Close as completed
~ gh issue close 123 --reason "completed"

# Close as not planned with a reason
~ gh issue close 123 --reason "not planned" --comment "Out of scope for current roadmap."

Notes
