Creating and Managing Issues

Overview

Issues are the core of Panel Todo Pro. They track bugs, features, tasks, and any work you need to do.

Creating an Issue

From VS Code:

1. Switch to the Issues tab in Panel Todo
2. Click the + button
3. Enter a title
4. Press Enter

From MCP (AI assistants):

panelTodo_addIssue({
  title: "Fix login bug",
  priority: "high",
  status: "todo"
})

Issue Properties

Key	Auto-generated (e.g., PT-1, PT-2)
Title	Description of the issue
Status	todo, in_progress, review, done
Priority	low, medium, high, critical
Sprint	Optional sprint assignment
Tags	Custom labels for organization

Status Flow

todo → in_progress → review → done

Move issues through statuses as work progresses. The Kanban board visualizes this flow.

Updating Issues

// Change status
panelTodo_updateIssue({
  issueId: "issue-uuid",
  status: "in_progress"
})

// Change priority
panelTodo_updateIssue({
  issueId: "issue-uuid",
  priority: "critical"
})

// Update title
panelTodo_updateIssue({
  issueId: "issue-uuid",
  title: "New title"
})

Completing Issues

panelTodo_completeIssue({ issueId: "issue-uuid" })

This moves the issue to "done" status.

Adding Comments

Add context and notes to issues:

panelTodo_addComment({
  issueId: "issue-uuid",
  content: "Fixed by updating the auth middleware"
})
