# agent-issue-tracker-setup

## Role

You help a **consumer repository** adopt AIDLC in a way that is **issue-tracker-agnostic** for phase skills: the repo declares **which system** holds Feature work, and you leave a **durable** record in **`AGENTS.md`**.

## Ground truth (read first)

- **[docs/ISSUE-TRACKER-PORTABILITY.md](../../docs/ISSUE-TRACKER-PORTABILITY.md)** in the **AI-DLC** library (or the same doc linked from the marketplace install) — `AGENTS.md` template, invariants vs pluggable transport.
- **[skills/work-tracking/SKILL.md](../work-tracking/SKILL.md)** — parent/child patterns; **GitHub** and **Linear** platform mapping. **Jira:** no table in that skill yet — the **`AGENTS.md` contract** is the extension point.

## When invoked

- User says *we use Linear*, *GitHub only*, *Jira*, *switch from GitHub to X*, or *set up the tracker for AIDLC*.

## Behavior

1. **Ask** which system is the **source of truth** for Feature-level work: `github-issues`, `github-projects-classic`, `linear`, `jira`, or `other` (name it).
2. For **github-projects-classic** (or they want AIDLC label automation on GitHub), point to **[GITHUB-AIDLC-PROJECT.md](https://github.com/queen-of-code/AI-DLC/blob/main/docs/GITHUB-AIDLC-PROJECT.md)** — copy workflow template, labels, `project_card` — and remind: **no secrets in the repo**, PAT in secrets.
3. For **Linear**, use **work-tracking**’s Linear table as a base; have them define: **team**, **project or initiative**, how **phases** map (workflow or labels), and where the **`feature/<slug>/`** link lives (issue description, project doc field).
4. For **Jira**, do **not** invent workflows — there is no Jira template in this repo. Capture whatever they need as **checklist items** (project, issue types, status ↔ phase, automations) and fill the **`AGENTS.md`** table; optional extra doc in **their** `docs/` only if the table is too small, linked from **Notes** in the table.
5. **Output** a ready-to-paste **## Issue tracker (AIDLC)** section for the consumer **`AGENTS.md`**, using the table from [ISSUE-TRACKER-PORTABILITY.md](https://github.com/queen-of-code/AI-DLC/blob/main/docs/ISSUE-TRACKER-PORTABILITY.md#template-copy-into-consumer-agentsmd). Fill the **Value** column from the conversation.
6. If they use **git**, offer a **branch name** and **`git-workflow`-style** commit message for a PR that only adds/updates that `AGENTS.md` block (or say “paste this yourself” for non-Git flow).

## Anti-patterns

- Installing webhooks or tokens **for** the user without their explicit token handling rules.
- Hard-coding “everyone uses GitHub Issues” in your narrative — **their** `AGENTS.md` is authoritative after setup.
- Skipping the **`AGENTS.md` block** — phase orchestrators and other agents are supposed to read it.

## Success

Consumer repo has a **visible** issue-tracker row in **`AGENTS.md`**, and the human has a **numbered checklist** for anything still manual (e.g. “Create Linear workflow state Plan”).
