okffs

Turn a conversation with Claude into GitHub issues, branches, and pull requests — without leaving Claude Code.

okffs is a Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude Code a clean issue → branch → PR → close workflow on GitHub. Talk through the work in plain language; okffs creates the issues, matching branches, and pull requests, keeps them linked, and (optionally) syncs a GitHub Projects board — all in one shot.

• One-shot planning — describe a chunk of work and get every issue + branch created, with relationships wired up.
• The whole loop — create, comment, commit, open PRs, handle review feedback, and close, each as a simple ask.
• Sensible defaults — Claude infers labels, priority, and effort from the task; GitHub stays the single source of truth.
• Little to no config — signed in with the gh CLI inside your repo? You're ready.

Quick start

1. Run the setup wizard from your project root:

npx @neturely/okffs setup

It walks you through auth, repo, and any optional features, writes a .env, then runs a quick GitHub sanity check. Re-run it any time (e.g. after upgrading okffs) — it only asks about options that are new since your last run. If you're happy relying on the GitHub CLI (gh auth login) and working inside the repo you want to manage, you can skip this step entirely — okffs works with no config at all.

Already in Claude Code? Once okffs is connected you can configure it conversationally instead — run the /okffs:setup slash command and Claude will interview you and write the .env for you (no terminal needed). okffs also nudges you to run it after an upgrade introduces new options.

2. Add a .mcp.json to your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "okffs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@neturely/okffs@latest"]
    }
  }
}

That's it — npx fetches okffs on first use, and Claude Code picks up the tools automatically. To use a token or a different repo instead of the gh/auto-detect defaults, run okffs setup (above) or edit .env by hand — see Configuration.

Now just ask Claude:

• "Create an issue called 'Fix login button' and start a branch for it."
• "Plan the work for adding user authentication and create the issues."
• "Create issues from this task list: …"
• "List all open issues."
• "Mark issue #5 as blocked by issue #3."
• "Done with issue #42 — open a PR and close it."
• "Address the review comments on PR #42."

Claude infers labels (bug, enhancement, …) from the title and description and merges them with any you've set as defaults.

Tools

Destructive tools (delete_issue, delete_branch) always warn on the first call and only act when re-called with confirmed: true, posting a comment to the issue before doing anything.

Handling PR reviews

okffs has a built-in loop for review feedback — just ask ("address the review comments on PR #42"). Claude reads the threads, fixes the valid ones, commits and pushes, replies per thread, and posts a summary. Claude brings the judgment and the fixes; okffs handles the GitHub plumbing. There's also a slash command, /okffs:address_pr_review (takes a PR number), that runs the same loop.

By default review threads are left open for you to resolve; set OKFFS_RESOLVE_THREADS=true to have okffs resolve them once addressed.

Autopilot (minimum interference)

For a hands-off session, ask Claude to "fully handle this" (or "minimum interference") — or set OKFFS_AUTOPILOT=true to make it the default. In autopilot, Claude stops asking you to choose between options for reversible decisions, takes the recommended option at each fork, and drives an issue all the way to a PR into the base branch (and a base merge when OKFFS_AUTO_MERGE_BASE=true) — then posts an "Autopilot decisions" report (one line per choice, with a one-line why) to the PR and the issue, so you can redirect anything in a single message.

It removes confirmation friction; it does not grant new powers. The hard stops always interrupt, even in autopilot: anything into OKFFS_PROTECTED_BRANCH (merge/tag/publish), destructive tools (delete_issue / delete_branch), anything billable (e.g. a Copilot review on a new promotion PR), and genuinely irreversible actions. And for a real missing-information call — where only you hold the context — Claude still asks one quick question rather than guess. Off by default.

Keeping CLAUDE.md in sync

The /okffs:update_guidance slash command reviews the changes on the current branch and maintains one okffs-owned section of your CLAUDE.md — ## Project Guidance (okffs usage), delimited by HTML markers — without ever touching your hand-written content. It's guidance curation (tools, env vars, conventions), not a changelog. Set OKFFS_UPDATE_GUIDANCE=true to have create_pull_request nudge Claude to run it at PR time; the command is always available.

Automatic doc updates

With OKFFS_UPDATE_DOCS=true, create_pull_request writes doc updates onto the branch so they land in the PR diff:

• CHANGELOG.md — a per-issue Keep a Changelog fragment under .changes/unreleased/, assembled into CHANGELOG.md at release time by prepare_release. Uniquely-named fragments avoid merge conflicts across parallel branches.
• SECURITY.md — updated when security-related keywords are detected (only if the file exists).
