About

This skill enables developers to manage GitHub operations through Claude, including creating milestones with titles, descriptions, and due dates. It handles authentication checks, repository information retrieval, and milestone creation via GitHub CLI commands. Use this for automating common GitHub repository management tasks directly from your development workflow.

Manage GitHub operations

When to use this skill

This skill provides specific instructions to manage github on behalf of the user, for:

  • Authorization

Create GitHub Milestone

Create a milestone on GitHub with title, description, and optional due date.

Usage

/gh-milestone-create                    # Interactive mode
/gh-milestone-create "Sprint 3"         # With title
/gh-milestone-create "Sprint 3" 2025-11-15  # With title and due date

What it does

  1. Checks if GitHub CLI is authenticated
  2. Gets repository information
  3. Creates milestone with specified details
  4. Optionally sets due date
  5. Returns milestone URL and number

Execution

!echo "📋 Creating GitHub milestone..." !gh auth status !gh repo view --json nameWithOwner,url | grep -E 'nameWithOwner|url' !gh milestone create "New Milestone" --description "Milestone description" --due-date 2025-12-31

Interactive Example

For interactive milestone creation with prompts:

!gh api repos/:owner/:repo/milestones -f title="Sprint 3" -f description="Sprint 3 objectives" -f due_on="2025-11-15T23:59:59Z" -f state="open"

Parameters

  • title (required): Milestone title
  • description (optional): Detailed description of milestone goals
  • due-date (optional): Due date in YYYY-MM-DD format
  • state (optional): open or closed (default: open)

Examples

Basic milestone

/gh-milestone-create "v1.0 Release"

Milestone with due date

/gh-milestone-create "Q4 Goals" 2025-12-31

Using GitHub API directly

gh api repos/owner/repo/milestones \
  -f title="Sprint 4" \
  -f description="Complete core features" \
  -f due_on="2025-11-30T23:59:59Z"

Listing Existing Milestones

gh milestone list
gh api repos/:owner/:repo/milestones

Requirements

  • GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated
  • Write access to the repository
  • Valid repository context

Tips

  • Use clear, action-oriented milestone titles
  • Set realistic due dates
  • Include objectives in description
  • Link issues to milestones for tracking
  • Use milestones for sprint planning
  • Close milestones when complete

Related Commands

  • /pr-creation - Create pull requests
  • gh issue create --milestone "Sprint 3" - Create issue with milestone
  • gh milestone list - List all milestones

subagent-driven-development

Development

This skill executes implementation plans by dispatching a fresh subagent for each independent task, with code review between tasks. It enables fast iteration while maintaining quality gates through this review process. Use it when working on mostly independent tasks within the same session to ensure continuous progress with built-in quality checks.

algorithmic-art

Meta

This Claude Skill creates original algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameters. It generates .md files for algorithmic philosophies, plus .html and .js files for interactive generative art implementations. Use it when developers need to create flow fields, particle systems, or other computational art while avoiding copyright issues.

executing-plans

Design

Use the executing-plans skill when you have a complete implementation plan to execute in controlled batches with review checkpoints. It loads and critically reviews the plan, then executes tasks in small batches (default 3 tasks) while reporting progress between each batch for architect review. This ensures systematic implementation with built-in quality control checkpoints.

cost-optimization

Other

This Claude Skill helps developers optimize cloud costs through resource rightsizing, tagging strategies, and spending analysis. It provides a framework for reducing cloud expenses and implementing cost governance across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Use it when you need to analyze infrastructure costs, right-size resources, or meet budget constraints.
