Track Completed Work

Determine whether the user wants proposed issue wording, an issue created, or the full issue/commit/PR workflow. Honor explicit limits such as no commit or no push. Closing an existing issue is not a request to create a replacement issue or publish code.

For wording only, use the requested diff/context and the issue-format guidance; stop with the proposed text. For the full workflow, inspect repository/branch identity and existing issues/PRs first so retries do not create duplicates.

Describe the original problem and use concise labels supported by the repository. Resolve the current contributor's login with gh api user --jq '.login' when assigning an issue; do not guess another account. If authentication is unavailable, prepare reviewable wording and report the unavailable operation.

Use a task branch into master when opening a PR. Preserve unrelated edits and staged changes, and include only the reviewed task hunks in an authorized commit. Reuse completed verification or select missing checks using docs/agent-playbooks/verification.md.

When creation is authorized, use gh issue create with the verified repository, labels and assignee. Pass multiline bodies through --body-file, and retain the returned issue number. If only an issue was requested, finish after creating it.

When the user authorized publishing the change, push only the intended branch and create a ready-for-review PR into master with Closes #<issue> in its body. A no-push instruction leaves publication pending even if issue creation or a local commit is authorized. Do not merge as part of issue/PR creation.

Report the actual issue, commit and PR state, including partial completion after failures. An issue linked with Closes remains open until its PR merges. Keep an unmerged branch/worktree; run a later review or merge workflow only when requested.
