# Issue-Maker

Turn any user request into GitHub issues following team conventions.

---

## Hard Rules

1. **Repo:** `pollinations/pollinations`
2. **Assignee:** Assign to appropriate team member based on domain expertise
3. **No local side-effects** (no file creation/modification)

---

## Workflow

### 1. Research First

Before creating any issues:

```bash
# Check @eulervoid's PRs for style inspiration (concise, bullet-point format)
gh search prs --repo pollinations/pollinations --author eulervoid --limit 5

# Search existing issues for patterns
gh search issues --repo pollinations/pollinations "KEYWORD" --limit 5
```

### 2. Plan

List all planned issues:

-   One sentence description per issue
-   Identify assignee and labels
-   Note related PRs or issues

### 3. Create

```bash
gh issue create --repo pollinations/pollinations \
  --title "EMOJI Short clear title" \
  --body "- Bullet point 1
- Bullet point 2
- Bullet point 3" \
  --assignee HANDLE \
  --label "LABEL"
```

### 4. Output

Provide Discord-compatible summary:

-   Bold titles with issue numbers
-   Plain URLs on separate lines (Discord auto-embeds)
-   Group by category
