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.

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
- Checks if GitHub CLI is authenticated
- Gets repository information
- Creates milestone with specified details
- Optionally sets due date
- 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

subagent-driven-development
DevelopmentThis 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
MetaThis 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
DesignUse 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
OtherThis 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.
