# Create Issue Gate ## Overview Create GitHub issues as the single tracking entrypoint for tasks, with a hard gate on acceptance criteria. Core rule: **no explicit, testable acceptance criteria from user => issue stays `draft` and execution is blocked.** ## When to Use - You are starting a new implementation task and want a GitHub issue to be the required tracking entrypoint. - The work must be blocked until the user provides explicit, testable acceptance criteria. - You need to distinguish between `draft`, `ready`, and `blocked` work before execution begins. ## Required Fields Every issue must include these sections: - Problem - Goal - Scope - Non-Goals - Acceptance Criteria - Dependencies/Blockers - Status (`draft` | `ready` | `blocked` | `done`) ## Acceptance Criteria Gate Acceptance criteria are valid only when they are testable and pass/fail checkable. Examples: - valid: "CreateCheckoutLambda-dev returns an openable third-party payment checkout URL" - invalid: "fix checkout" / "improve UX" / "make it better" If criteria are missing or non-testable: - still create the issue - set `Status: draft` - add `Execution Gate: blocked (missing valid acceptance criteria)` - do not move t

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill create-issue-gate --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
