name: complete-idea description: Mark an idea as completed when all its derived tasks are done. Note: Ideas are automatically closed when converted to tasks via /feed-backlog. Use this skill only for edge cases (manually created tasks, legacy ideas, etc.).

Complete Idea

Mark an accepted idea as completed after all its derived tasks are done.

Note: Since /feed-backlog automatically closes ideas when converting them to tasks, this skill is primarily for edge cases:

• Ideas that were manually converted to tasks (not via /feed-backlog)
• Legacy ideas that predate the auto-close feature
• Cases where an idea needs to be closed but wasn't automatically closed

Instructions

When completing idea #N:

Step 1 - Fetch the Idea

gh issue view N --repo jmlweb/tooling --json number,title,body,labels,state

Verify:

• Has idea:accepted label
• Is still open

Step 2 - Find Related Tasks

gh issue list --repo jmlweb/tooling --search "idea #N in:body" --state all --json number,title,state

Also check the idea's body for task references.

Step 3 - Verify Task Completion

Check if all related tasks are closed. If any are still open, inform user.

Step 4 - Mark as Completed

gh issue edit N --repo jmlweb/tooling \
  --remove-label "idea:accepted" \
  --add-label "idea:completed"

gh issue comment N --repo jmlweb/tooling --body "## Idea Completed

All tasks derived from this idea have been implemented.

**Completed on:** $(date +%Y-%m-%d)"

gh issue close N --repo jmlweb/tooling

Idea Lifecycle

/add-idea       -> Creates idea (idea:pending)
/validate-ideas -> Accepts or rejects (idea:accepted | idea:rejected)
/feed-backlog   -> Creates tasks from accepted ideas AND closes the idea automatically
/next-task      -> Implements tasks
complete-idea   -> Manual closure for edge cases (normally not needed)

Normal Flow: Ideas are automatically closed when converted to tasks via /feed-backlog. This skill is only needed for edge cases.
