SDD Phase 2b: Prep Issue

Generate structured issue text from a completed specification for external tracking in GitHub Issues.

Inputs

  • slug (Optional): Slug from prior phases. Inferred from the most recent SDD plan directory if omitted.

Step 0: Doctrine Resolution

Before starting, resolve project conventions:

  1. Check for project doctrine files:
    • docs/project-rules/ (constitution.md, rules.md, idioms.md, architecture.md)
    • copilot-instructions.md, AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md
  2. If no doctrine found, scan the codebase for dependency manifests, build systems, and directory patterns.
  3. Extract: build command, test command, coverage threshold, naming conventions, CI platform.
  4. Unknown values become explicit [TODO] markers — never assume silently.

Step 1: Load Spec Context

  1. Read the specification from .copilot-tracking/plans/{date}/{slug}/{slug}-spec.md.
  2. If clarifications exist, read the Clarifications section.
  3. If a plan exists, read the plan's complexity score and phase count.

Step 2: Generate Issue Text

Produce structured issue text with these sections:

Title

Format: feat({scope}): {summary from spec}

Where {scope} is the primary affected module or service in kebab-case.

Body

## Summary

{One-paragraph summary from spec}

## Goals

{Bulleted goals from spec}

## Non-Goals

{Bulleted non-goals from spec}

## Acceptance Criteria

{Numbered acceptance criteria from spec}

## Complexity

{CS-N score with brief rationale}

## Affected Services

{List from spec's Affected Modules/Services}

## Links

- Spec: `.copilot-tracking/plans/{date}/{slug}/{slug}-spec.md`
- Plan: `.copilot-tracking/plans/{date}/{slug}/{slug}-plan.md` (if exists)

Labels

Suggest GitHub labels based on the spec content:

  • Type label: enhancement, bug, infrastructure, documentation
  • Complexity label: complexity:cs-{N}
  • Affected service labels from the spec

Step 3: Output

Present the generated issue text in a fenced code block ready for copy-paste into GitHub Issues. Do not create the issue automatically — present the text for user review.


[!IMPORTANT] STOP. Present the issue text to the user. Do not create the GitHub Issue — the user handles issue creation.
