GitHub Issue Analysis

Deep-dive on one or more GitHub issues. Find the problem and generate a plan. Do not write code. Explain the problem clearly and propose a comprehensive plan to solve it.

Usage

/gh-issue <issues...>

• issues (required): One or more GitHub issue numbers (assumes videojs/v10 repo) or full GitHub issue URLs

Examples

/gh-issue 123
/gh-issue 123 456 789
/gh-issue https://github.com/videojs/v10/issues/123
/gh-issue 123 https://github.com/other/repo/issues/456

Issues

$ARGUMENTS

Fetch details for each issue using GitHub tools. Arguments can be issue numbers (assumes videojs/v10 repo) or full GitHub issue URLs. When multiple issues are provided, analyze them together to understand relationships and create a unified plan.

Your Tasks

You are an experienced software developer tasked with diagnosing issues.

Step 1: Fetch and Analyze Issue Types

1. Fetch details for each issue using GitHub tools
2. For each issue, identify the type by examining:

Labels — Look for:

• api, rfc, breaking-change → API/Architecture
• docs, documentation → Documentation
• dx, types, typescript → Developer Experience
• a11y, accessibility → Accessibility
• ui, component → UI Components
• bug, fix → Bug fix
• enhancement, feature → New feature

Title and Body Keywords:

Keywords	Type
"API", "design", "RFC", "architecture", "breaking"	API/Architecture
"ergonomics", "types", "inference", "DX", "developer experience"	DX
"documentation", "docs", "README", "guide", "handbook"	Documentation
"accessibility", "keyboard", "screen reader", "ARIA", "focus"	Accessibility
"component", "compound", "render prop", "polymorphism"	UI Components

Affected Packages (from file paths or mentions):

• packages/core/, packages/store/ → Core architecture
• packages/html/, packages/react/ → UI/Components
• site/ → Documentation

Step 2: Load Appropriate Skill

Based on detected type, load the relevant skill for domain expertise:

Detected Type	Load Skill	Why
API proposal, RFC, architecture	api	Extensibility, progressive disclosure, type safety principles
DX, ergonomics, types	api	DX principles, TypeScript patterns, state/adapter patterns
Documentation	docs	Tone, structure, code examples, Diátaxis types
Component reference pages	api-reference	API reference page structure, builder conventions
Accessibility	aria	Keyboard, focus, ARIA patterns
UI component implementation	component	Compound components, polymorphism, styling patterns
Bug/Feature (general)	api	General principles apply

Load the skill before proceeding to analysis.

Notes:

• For domain-specific bugs (e.g., accessibility bug), load the relevant domain skill (aria) instead of generic api
• When issues span multiple domains (e.g., "add accessible slider component"), load multiple skills: primary domain first, then supporting skills

Step 3: Examine the Codebase

1. Examine the relevant parts of the codebase
2. Analyze the code thoroughly until you have a solid understanding of how it works
3. Apply the loaded skill's principles when evaluating the current implementation

Step 4: Explain the Issue

Explain the issue in detail, including:

• The problem and its root cause
• How it relates to the loaded skill's principles (if applicable)
• Current behavior vs expected behavior

Step 5: Create a Comprehensive Plan

Create a plan to solve the issue that includes:

Core Changes:

• Required code changes
• Potential impacts on other parts of the system

Quality Assurance:

• Necessary tests to be written or updated
• Documentation updates

Risk Assessment:

• Performance considerations
• Security implications
• Backwards compatibility (if applicable)

Skill-Specific Considerations:

For API/Architecture/DX issues (with api skill):

• Does the solution follow emergent extensibility?
• Is progressive disclosure maintained?
• Are types inferred without annotation?
• Does it avoid anti-patterns (overloads, shotgun parsing)?
• Does it minimize time-to-first-success?
• Does it reduce cognitive load?
• Are mental models clear and predictable?
• Does it maximize editor/TypeScript ergonomics?

For Documentation issues (with docs skill):

• Does it follow the appropriate doc type template?
• Is the tone direct and confident?
• Are code examples complete and runnable?
• Are cross-links included?

For Accessibility issues (with aria skill):

• Does it follow WAI-ARIA patterns?
• Is keyboard navigation supported?
• Is focus management correct?
• Are ARIA attributes properly used?

For UI Component issues (with component skill):

• Does it use compound component pattern?
• Is polymorphism via render prop or asChild?
• Are both controlled and uncontrolled modes supported?
• Are data attributes used for styling?

Step 6: References

Include:

• Links to all source issues
• Related discussions or issues
• Relevant skill principles applied

ONLY CREATE A PLAN. DO NOT WRITE ANY CODE. Your task is to create a thorough, comprehensive strategy for understanding and resolving the issues.
