/next-issue — Pick up the next issue from the project board

You are picking up the next prioritised issue from the GitHub Project board.

Steps

1. Get the next issue by running:

   ./scripts/gh-project.sh next
   

   This returns the top item in the "Ready" column (highest priority).

2. If no items are in Ready, inform me and stop.

3. Read the full issue including all comments for additional context:

   gh issue view <NUMBER> --repo $GH_PROJECT_OWNER/$GH_PROJECT_REPO --comments
   

4. Move the issue to In Progress:

   ./scripts/gh-project.sh move <NUMBER> "In Progress"
   

5. Create a working branch:

   git checkout -b issue-<NUMBER>-<short-slug> main
   

   Use a short kebab-case slug derived from the issue title.

6. Add a progress header to the issue description so the team can see work has started:

   gh issue edit <NUMBER> --body "$(gh issue view <NUMBER> --json body -q .body)
   
   ---
   ## 🔧 Implementation Progress
   - ⏳ Started: $(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)
   - Branch: \`issue-<NUMBER>-<slug>\`
   - Status: **In Progress**
   "
   

7. Start implementing. Read any referenced files, specs, or docs mentioned in the issue. Follow the project's existing patterns and conventions. Refer to /docs and CLAUDE.md for project rules.

8. Update the issue description periodically as you complete meaningful steps — append bullet points under the Implementation Progress section describing what was done.

Rules

• Never force-push to main.
• Always work on a feature branch.
• Run existing tests before considering the work complete.
• If the issue is unclear or blocked, add a comment to the issue asking for clarification and let me know.
