Pairs Well With: gh-planning

gh-helm is a powerful automation tool for agent-driven GitHub project work—but for tracking tasks, priorities, and progress, it pairs perfectly with gh-planning.

gh-planning is a lightweight command-line tool that manages GitHub Issues and Projects as kanban boards. For details, see its repository.

How They Complement Each Other

gh-planning keeps your project organized:

• Quickly triage, prioritize, and sort issues into boards
• Plan sprints, manage backlogs, and keep a high-level view

gh-helm executes the work:

• Agents pick up issues from gh-planning boards
• Automate PR creation, file generation, and status updates

By using both, your team gets clean separation between planning (the what and when) and execution (the how).

Example Workflow: Plan → Helm → Track

1. Plan:
   • Use gh planning to triage issues, assign priorities, and groom the project board.
2. Helm Executes:
   • An issue is ready (labeled and moved to the “Ready” column).
   • Run gh helm agent run to let gh-helm pick up the work, generate code or docs, and open a draft PR.

3. Track Progress:
   • Use gh planning to see issue/PR status as work moves across the board.

This pairing lets your team spend less time micromanaging, and more time building.
