Herdr Orchestrate: Master GitHub Issue Workflow with AI

Herdr Orchestrate: Master GitHub Issue Workflow with AI

Herdr Orchestrate is an AI-driven skill designed to streamline the orchestration of GitHub issues through automated work units. This tool facilitates the delegation and management of issues via stages such as triage, delegation, scope-check, shipping, merging, and dismantling, ensuring efficient handling of development workflows.

What this skill does

• Identifies and gathers available GitHub issues, grouping them into manageable work units.
• Initiates and configures each work unit for processing as a distinct worktree, tab, and pull request (PR).
• Automates the verification and merging of changes where appropriate, while enabling manual intervention for high-risk or user interface (UI) changes.
• Provides scope-checking on diffs before finalizing and merging the changes, ensuring quality and adherence to project requirements.
• Allows user oversight and control, offering the possibility to read and intervene at any workflow step, through individual tabs.

Who it is for

• Developers looking to optimize their GitHub issue management process through AI assistance.
• Teams utilizing AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex to enhance collaborative software development.

Use cases

• A software development team using GitHub for project management can automate repetitive tasks in issue handling, freeing up human resources for complex decision-making.
• A development manager can maintain oversight of the project workflow while delegating issue resolution to AI-driven processes, reducing the need for micromanagement.
• Individual developers can use Herdr Orchestrate to manage personal project workloads effectively, ensuring consistent review and integration of code changes.

Technical details

• Requires `herdr` with the agent automation commands, `gh`, `jq`, and `trash` in the system `PATH`, and `HERDR_ENV` set to `1`.
• Utilizes the `herdr` skill for CLI mechanics, requiring users to ensure understanding of command syntax and identifier usage.
• Incorporates a script located at `scripts/caller-proof.mjs` for verifying preconditions before engaging in GitHub-related mutations.
