# 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
### Bug Report
```markdown
## Summary
Description of the bug.
## Steps to Reproduce
1. Go to...
2. Click...
3. Observe...
## Expected Behavior
What should happen.
## Actual Behavior
What happens instead.
## Environment
- Browser/OS/Version
```
### Feature Request
```markdown
## Summary
What feature and why it's valuable.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] ...
## User Story (optional)
As a [role], I want [capability] so that [benefit].
```
### Technical Task
```markdown
## Summary
What technical work needs to be done.
## Scope
- Include: ...
- Exclude: ...
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] ...
```
## Labels
Use labels to categorize:
- `bug`, `feature`, `enhancement`, `refactor`
- `priority/high`, `priority/low`
- Component labels specific to project
## Dependencies
Identify and link dependencies when creating issues:
1. **In the description**, document dependencies:
```markdown
## Dependencies
- Depends on #12 (must complete first)
- Related to #15 (informational)
```
2. **After creating the issue**, formally link blockers using tea CLI:
```bash
tea issues deps add <this-issue> <blocker-issue>
tea issues deps add 5 3 # Issue #5 is blocked by #3
```
This creates a formal dependency graph that tools can query.
