issue-tracker-core

Five skills. pre-work-gate runs before any development task and confirms the issue exists, is assigned, is in a workable state, and actually covers the request. branch-and-title-conventions derives branch names, commit scopes and pull request titles from the issue key, so the key stays recoverable from the branch. status-vocabulary fixes what each lifecycle state means and what must be true before advancing — states as checkable claims rather than vibes. parent-child-hygiene keeps every item under a live parent and sweeps for orphans. issue-lifecycle covers commenting at start, handoff and completion so the tracker carries the history.

No tracker product, project key, issue-type ID or transition ID appears anywhere in this plugin. That is what lets the rules be executable against GitHub Issues, a hosted enterprise tracker, a lightweight board, or a plain text backlog.

Tracker-specific adapters sit on top and supply the actual calls — see github-issues for GitHub. Load this one in any repo where work is tracked; load an adapter as well if you want the commands rather than just the rule.
