GitHub issues

Use gh when it is installed and authenticated; it handles auth, rate limits, and JSON. Fall back to the public API with curl, then to a URL your partner opens.

Search

gh search issues --repo obra/superpowers --limit 10 "<terms>" \
  --json number,state,title --jq '.[] | "\(.number)\t\(.state)\t\(.title)"'

Without gh (unauthenticated, 10 requests a minute):

curl -s -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
  "https://api.github.com/search/issues?q=repo:obra/superpowers+is:issue+<url-encoded terms>&per_page=10" \
  | jq -r '.items[] | "\(.number)\t\(.state)\t\(.title)"'

Without curl, hand over https://github.com/obra/superpowers/issues?q=<terms>.

File

Write the filled templates/issue.md to the workspace and show the exact text. After approval:

gh issue create --repo obra/superpowers --title "<title>" --body-file <path> \
  --label bug --label automated-issue-report

GitHub drops labels silently when the reporter lacks push access, so the labels land only for collaborators; the template footer still marks the issue as skill-filed. gh cannot attach files: give your partner the bundle path to attach through the browser after the issue exists.

Without gh, hand over a prefilled link on the diagnosis_report.md template, which applies both labels for any reporter:

https://github.com/obra/superpowers/issues/new?template=diagnosis_report.md&title=<url-encoded title>&body=<url-encoded body>

GitHub rejects URLs over about 8,000 characters; past that, send the link with the title only and tell your partner to paste the body from the file.
