Using Claude Code to manage GitHub kanban issues reliably
Claude Code needs a reliable way to create and update issues inside a private oject. The goal is to manage uniquely numbered issues on a without missing anything.
The current workflow uses the in a partly manual way, or cowork, but both add friction. Missing even one issue creates cleanup work because the whole list has to be reconciled.
The possible fixes are using a trusted ojects MCP or writing more detailed Claude instructions for the workflow. Obsidian MCP is already in use, so syncing an Obsidian with a GitHub would be helpful, though not required.
Key points
- The need is for Claude Code to create and update issues in a private oject.
- The project uses a with uniquely numbered issues.
- The current or cowork workflow is partly manual and easy to trip over.
- A trusted ojects MCP may be a better fit than instructions alone.
- Syncing Obsidian kanban with GitHub kanban would be useful but optional.
