Analyze Issue

Perform detailed analysis of a GitHub issue and write the analysis to the workflows directory.

Instructions

1. Fetch Issue Details

   • Get issue #$ARGUMENTS from gittower/git-flow-next
   • Extract: title, description, labels, any linked issues

2. Create Workflow Directory

   • Create workflows/issue-<number>-<slug>/
   • Slug: lowercase, hyphenated version of key words from title (max 4 words)
   • Example: Issue #42 "Add squash merge support" → workflows/issue-42-squash-merge/

3. Explore the Codebase

   • Search for related code, files, and patterns
   • Identify affected components
   • Understand current implementation
   • Find similar patterns or prior art in the codebase

4. Write Analysis Document

   • Create analysis.md in the workflow folder
   • Use the template below

5. Propose TODO Comments

   • If specific code locations need attention, suggest TODO comments
   • Format: // TODO(#<issue>): <description>

Analysis Template

Write to workflows/issue-<number>-<slug>/analysis.md:

# Issue #<number>: <title>

## Summary
<1-2 sentence summary of the issue>

## Issue Details
- **Type**: <bug/enhancement/feature>
- **Labels**: <labels from GitHub>
- **Link**: <GitHub issue URL>

## Next Steps
1. Create feature branch: `git flow feature start <number>-<slug>`
2. Create implementation plan: `/create-plan`

1. Report Completion
   • Show path to created analysis file
   • Summarize key findings
   • Suggest next step: create feature branch and run /create-plan
