/ouroboros:publish

Convert a Seed into a GitHub Epic issue plus Task issues. Works entirely through the gh CLI (no MCP), creates new issues only, and never modifies existing ones.

ooo publish [seed_path]
/ouroboros:publish [seed_path]

Instructions

Run commands with the active runtime's run_shell capability and ask every question with the active runtime's ask_user capability.

Step 1: Prerequisites

Run command -v gh. If missing, tell the user to install it from https://cli.github.com/ and stop. Run gh auth status; if not authenticated, tell the user to run gh auth login and stop.

Step 2: Locate the Seed

Seeds live in ~/.ouroboros/seeds/: interview Seeds as {seed_id}.yaml, PM Seeds as pm_seed_{id}.json. In priority order:

1. An explicit .yaml or .json path argument.
2. The most recent files from ls -t ~/.ouroboros/seeds/*.yaml ~/.ouroboros/seeds/*.json 2>/dev/null | head -5; if several exist, ask the user to choose.
3. A Seed path reported by ooo seed or ooo pm earlier in this conversation.

If none is found, tell the user to run ooo seed or ooo pm first, and stop.

Step 3: Parse the Seed

Detect the format by extension. Omit any section whose field is missing or empty rather than failing.

YAML Seed (ooo interview + ooo seed):

Field	Use
goal	Epic title and Goal section
constraints	Constraints section
acceptance_criteria	Epic checklist, distributed to Task issues
ontology_schema	Ontology table (field, type, description)
evaluation_principles	Evaluation Principles table (name, weight, description)
exit_conditions	Exit Conditions (Definition of Done)
metadata.ambiguity_score	Confidence indicator
metadata.seed_id	Duplicate detection

JSON PM Seed (ooo pm, PMSeed schema):
