What is create-item?

Creates an MCP work item from conversation context. Scans existing containers to anchor the item in the right place (Bugs, Features, Tech Debt, Observations, etc.), infers type and priority, creates single items or work trees, and pre-fills required notes. Use when the conversation surfaces a bug, feature idea, tech debt item, or observation worth tracking persistently. Also use when user says: track this, log this bug, create a task for, or add this to the backlog.

create-item — Container-Anchored Work Item Creation

Create MCP work items intelligently from conversation context. This skill handles container anchoring, tag inference, structure decisions, and note pre-population so you don't have to.


Step 1 — Infer intent from conversation

Determine from context (or from $ARGUMENTS if provided):

  • Title — what is the work item?
  • Type — bug / feature / tech debt / observation / action item / general task
  • Priority — high / medium / low (default: medium)
  • Scope — single item, or feature with 2+ clear distinct subtasks?

If title or type cannot be inferred with confidence, use AskUserQuestion with concrete options. Do not ask open-ended questions.
