What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Bridge skill for escalating ephemeral local task scratchpad items (`tasks/*.md`) into durable, taxonomy-validated, evidence-rich GitHub Issues. USE ONLY when promoting a single-session local task into durable repository backlog. DO NOT USE for managing local kanban boards (use `task-agent` instead) or directly querying/commenting on issues (use `github-issue-agent` instead).

GitHub Issue Backlog Agent (`github-issue-backlog-agent`)

Routing Directive: USE ONLY when promoting ephemeral single-session local tasks (tasks/*.md) into durable tracked GitHub Issues. DO NOT USE for managing local kanban boards (use task-agent instead) or directly creating/searching issues from execution friction (use github-issue-agent instead).

The github-issue-backlog-agent skill bridges local task scratch items into durable GitHub Issues. It parses local task markdown files, constructs evidence-backed markdown bodies conforming to repository taxonomy guidelines, and invokes gh_issue_create.py in dry-run or live mode.

Safety & Security Contracts

Dry-Run Execution Default (execute=False): By default, calling task_to_issue_bridge.py outputs a structured JSON payload detailing the issue title, body, and labels without creating a live GitHub issue. Live creation requires --execute.
Taxonomy Enforcement: Every escalated issue is validated against issue-taxonomy.json rules (type:*, tier:*, source:*, risk:*, and area:*/plugin:*).
Secret Redaction: Both title and body undergo secret scanning via redaction_gate.py prior to payload generation or issue submission.
