# Issue Writing
How to write clear, actionable issues.
## Issue Structure
### Title
- Start with action verb: "Add", "Fix", "Update", "Remove", "Refactor"
- Be specific: "Add user authentication" not "Auth stuff"
- Keep under 60 characters when possible
### Description
```markdown
## Summary
One paragraph explaining what and why.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Specific, testable requirement
- [ ] Another requirement
- [ ] User can verify this works
## Context
Additional background, links, or references.
## Technical Notes (optional)
Implementation hints or constraints.
```
## Writing Acceptance Criteria
Good criteria are:
- **Specific**: "User sees error message" not "Handle errors"
- **Testable**: Can verify pass/fail
- **User-focused**: What the user experiences
- **Independent**: Each stands alone
Examples:
```markdown
- [ ] Login form validates email format before submission
- [ ] Invalid credentials show "Invalid email or password" message
- [ ] Successful login redirects to dashboard
- [ ] Session persists across browser refresh
```
## Issue Types

## Labels

- Component labels specific to project
