What happens if I omit the issue ID?

The skill enters interactive mode by listing in-progress issues with git issue ls -l in-progress and lets you pick one to close.

What values can I pass to --reason?

Allowed values are completed, duplicate, wontfix, and invalid.

What is the default closing message?

If you omit -m, the default message is 'Completed'.

git-native-issue — Close Issue

Close an issue, optionally with a closing message and reason.

Arguments

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

First argument: issue ID (required, or interactive if empty)
-m "message": closing message (optional, defaults to "Completed")
--reason <reason>: closing reason — completed, duplicate, wontfix, invalid
--fixed-by <sha>: commit SHA that fixed the issue

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, run git issue ls -l in-progress to show current work and ask which to close. If no in-progress issues, fall back to git issue ls and ask.

Steps

Verify prerequisites (git repo, git-issue installed).
Parse the issue ID, message, and reason from $ARGUMENTS.
Run git issue state <id> --close -m "<message>" with optional --reason and --fixed-by.
Confirm closure to the user with the issue title and ID.

Examples

/claude-git-native-issue:close a7f3b2c -m "All tests passing"
/claude-git-native-issue:close a7f3b2c --reason duplicate
/claude-git-native-issue:close a7f3b2c --fixed-by abc1234
/claude-git-native-issue:close              → interactive selection from open issues

Overview

Close a git-native-issue by ID, optionally adding a closing message and reason. If no ID is provided, it can prompt you to select from in-progress issues. You can also record the fixing commit with --fixed-by for traceability.

How This Skill Works

Arguments are parsed to extract the issue ID, optional message (-m), and --reason. The command runs git issue state <id> --close with the provided message and optional --reason and --fixed-by, then confirms the closure by showing the issue title and ID.

When to Use It

Close a specific issue by ID with a custom message.
Mark an issue as a duplicate and reference its original.
Record the fixing commit SHA using --fixed-by during closure.
Omit the ID to trigger an interactive selection from in-progress issues.
Close with the default message 'Completed' by providing only the issue ID.

Quick Start

Step 1: Verify prerequisites (git repo, git-issue installed).
Step 2: Provide or parse the issue ID, message, and reason from ARGUMENTS.
Step 3: Run git issue state <id> --close -m \"<message>\" [--reason <reason>] [--fixed-by <sha>] and confirm the closure.

Best Practices

Verify you’re in a git repo and have git-issue installed.
Provide a meaningful -m message; if omitted, the default is 'Completed'.
Always use --reason to categorize the closure (completed, duplicate, wontfix, invalid).
Include --fixed-by <sha> when you want to reference the commit that fixed the issue.
After closing, confirm the closure by showing the issue title and ID.

Example Use Cases

/claude-git-native-issue:close a7f3b2c -m \"All tests passing\"
/claude-git-native-issue:close a7f3b2c --reason duplicate
/claude-git-native-issue:close a7f3b2c --fixed-by abc1234
/claude-git-native-issue:close → interactive selection from open issues
/claude-git-native-issue:close a7f3b2c
