When & Why to Use This Skill

This Claude skill provides automated tracking and summarization of GitHub Project board statuses for monorepos. It enables real-time visibility into sprint progress, issue tracking, and task distribution by fetching data directly via GraphQL, helping teams stay aligned on development priorities and project health.

Use Cases

  • Sprint Progress Monitoring: Automatically generate a structured summary of 'In Progress', 'Blocked', and 'Done' tasks to track team velocity.
  • Bottleneck Identification: Quickly identify tasks that are 'Blocked' or 'Awaiting Review' to resolve dependencies and accelerate delivery.
  • Daily Stand-up Automation: Use the skill to provide an instant update on what was recently completed and what is currently being worked on.
  • Backlog and Priority Review: Query the 'Next' status column to help teams understand upcoming tasks and ensure alignment with the project roadmap.

Instructions

Get All Board Items

# Using GraphQL (more reliable - doesn't require read:org scope)
gh api graphql -f query='
  query {
    organization(login: "rollercoaster-dev") {
      projectV2(number: 11) {
        items(first: 100) {
          nodes {
            id
            fieldValueByName(name: "Status") {
              ... on ProjectV2ItemFieldSingleSelectValue { name }
            }
            content {
              ... on Issue { number title assignees(first: 5) { nodes { login } } }
              ... on PullRequest { number title }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }'
