## Overview

# /git:analyze-issue - Issue Analysis

## How It Works

1. **Issue Fetching**: Retrieves issue details from GitHub
2. **Requirements Extraction**: Identifies user stories and acceptance criteria
3. **Technical Analysis**: Determines APIs, data models, and dependencies
4. **Task Breakdown**: Creates actionable subtasks
5. **Complexity Assessment**: Estimates implementation effort

## Usage Examples

```bash
# Analyze issue before starting work
> /git:analyze-issue 123

# Use with SDD workflow
> /git:analyze-issue 123
> /sdd:01-specify

# Plan sprint work
> /git:load-issues
> /git:analyze-issue 45
> /git:analyze-issue 67
```

## Best Practices

- Analyze before coding - Understand requirements first
