# Issue tracker integrations are limited to mainstream tools
|
||||
|
||||
`setup-matt-pocock-skills` only offers first-class support for **mainstream** issue trackers. Requests to add support for niche, new, or single-vendor experimental trackers are out of scope.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why this is out of scope
|
||||
|
||||
Every issue-tracker backend hard-codes a CLI shape into the skills (commands, flags, output parsing). Each new backend is permanent maintenance surface — it has to keep working as the tool's CLI evolves, and it has to keep being tested against `/to-prd`, `/to-issues`, `/triage`, and friends. That cost is only worth paying for trackers a meaningful fraction of users actually have.
|
||||
|
||||
"Mainstream" is a judgment call, not a numeric bar:
|
||||
|
||||
- GitHub, GitLab, and Backlog.md are the kind of tools we'd consider mainstream — broadly known, widely used, well past the experimental phase.
|
||||
- A brand-new agent-focused tool with a few hundred GitHub stars is not, no matter how interesting the design.
|
||||
|
||||
Stars, age, and download counts are useful signals when making the call but none of them is the rule. The rule is: would a typical engineer recognise this tool and have plausibly chosen it for their team?
|
||||
|
||||
The escape hatches for non-mainstream trackers already exist:
|
||||
|
||||
- `local markdown` for lightweight in-repo tracking.
|
||||
- `other/custom` for users who want to wire something up themselves.
|
||||
|
||||
Neither requires the core skills to know about the specific tool.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prior requests
|
||||
|
||||
- #99 — "Add dex as an issue tracker backend" (dex was ~3 months old and ~300 stars at the time of the request)
