/clientissue

Reads a client-facing GitLab issue, plans the solution, and creates a development issue.

Usage

/clientissue 123

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
Issue IID	Yes	The client-facing issue ID (numeric, without #)

What It Does

1. Fetch the Client Issue

Fetches the issue from the client-facing project (vinum/vinum) including all comments. Sets the client issue label to Stage::In Development.

2. Analyze and Plan

Analyzes the issue description and comments, then plans a technical solution in English.

3. Handle Insufficient Information

If there is not enough information to implement a solution:

• Drafts a non-technical follow-up question in German for the client
• Presents it for your review
• Posts the approved comment to the client issue
• Stops — no dev issue is created

4. Handle Sufficient Information

If there is enough information:

• Presents the planned solution for your confirmation
• Creates a development issue in the dev project with a cross-reference to the client issue (first line of description: vinum/vinum#123)
• Continues as /issue — creates a feature branch and implements the changes

What It Does NOT Do

• Does not commit or push — use /rollout for that

Prerequisites

• glab must be authenticated
• Working tree must be clean
• The client issue must exist in the vinum/vinum project

Notes

• Client-facing comments are always in German, non-technical, and concise
• Development issues and internal communication are in English
• AI tools are never mentioned in GitLab comments or issues
