create-item

Featured

Create 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 this whenever 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. --- ## Step 2 — Scan containers ``` query_items(operation="overview", includeChildren=true) ``` Classify the existing structure: | Pattern | Classification | |---------|---------------| | Depth-0 item with category-named children (Bugs, Features, etc.) | **Hierarchical** — project root exists | | Category-named items at depth 0, no project root | **Flat** — use category containers directly | | No items at all | **Empty** — offer to create project root | --- ## Step 3 — Container anchoring ### Category mapping | Item type | Target category container | Signal keywords | |-----------|--------------------------|-----------------| | Bug / error / crash / unexpected behavior | Bugs | bug, error, crash, broken, failure, wrong, exception | | Feature / enhancement...

mcp-apps-builder

**MANDATORY for ALL MCP server work** - mcp-use framework best practices and patterns. **READ THIS FIRST** before any MCP server work, including: - Creating new MCP servers - Modifying existing MCP servers (adding/updating tools, resources, prompts, widgets) - Debugging MCP server issues or errors - Reviewing MCP server code for quality, security, or performance - Answering questions about MCP development or mcp-use patterns - Making ANY changes to server.tool(), server.resource(), server.prompt(), or widgets This skill contains critical architecture decisions, security patterns, and common pitfalls. Always consult the relevant reference files BEFORE implementing MCP features.
