Github Issue
Overview
Create well-scoped GitHub issues using the repo’s Codex issue template and gh issue create. Keep issues detailed enough for a Codex Argo workflow to execute the full request in one run.
Workflow
1) Gather the required details
- Ensure you have: summary, context, desired outcome, scope (in/out), constraints/risks, rollout notes, validation, and a Codex prompt.
- If the user already provided content, reuse it verbatim and only ask for missing fields.
2) Start from the template
- Use
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/codex-task.mdas the base. - Copy it into a temp file and fill in every section. Keep it concise but complete.
3) Write a precise Codex prompt
- The prompt should be an explicit, step-by-step plan with exact file paths, constraints, and expected outputs.
- If multiple fixes are needed, enumerate them and specify validation.
- Avoid ambiguity; Codex should be able to execute without follow-up.
4) Create the issue with gh
cp .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/codex-task.md /tmp/issue.md
$EDITOR /tmp/issue.md
gh issue create --title "<clear, scoped title>" --body-file /tmp/issue.md --label codex5) Report the result
- Return the issue URL and a short confirmation.
- If the repo requires extra labels or assignees, add them explicitly.
Notes
- Prefer one issue per coherent workstream.
- When a request spans multiple components, ensure scope boundaries are clear in the template.
