What Create Item does

Create Item turns conversation context into a tracked MCP work item. It anchors bugs, features, tech debt, and observations in the right container, infers priority, and can create single items or work trees.

Create Item is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Create Item comes from a repository tagged ai-coding-assistant, ai-development, ai-harness, ai-memory and ai-tools.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

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.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
