Close Issue Flow via Gitee MCP
Execute the complete Issue closing workflow: verify the fix is merged → post a closing comment → update the Issue status.
Prerequisites
- Gitee MCP Server configured (tools:
get_repo_issue_detail,list_repo_pulls,comment_issue,update_issue) - User must provide: repository owner, repository name, Issue number
- Typically run after the related PR has been merged or the problem has been resolved
Steps
Step 1: Fetch Issue Details
Use get_repo_issue_detail to retrieve Issue information:
- Title, description, labels
- Current state (check if it's already closed)
- Existing comments (to understand how it was resolved)
If the Issue is already closed, notify the user and stop.
Step 2: Confirm Linked PR Status
Use list_repo_pulls to query the repository's PRs, filtering for:
- State:
merged - Description containing
closes #[issue number]orfixes #[issue number]
Based on the results:
- If a merged linked PR is found → confirm the fix is live
- If the related PR is still open → notify the user that the PR has not been merged yet
- If no linked PR exists → ask the user how the Issue was resolved
Step 3: Post Closing Comment
Use comment_issue to post a closing note. Choose the appropriate template:
When a linked PR was merged:
This issue has been fixed and merged via PR #[number].
**Fix summary**: [brief description of the fix]
Thanks for the report! If the problem persists, feel free to reopen this issue or submit a new one.
When resolved directly (no PR):
This issue has been resolved.
**Solution**: [description of how it was resolved]
If the problem persists, feel free to reopen this issue or submit a new one.
When unable to reproduce or request was declined:
[Explanation, e.g., "Unable to reproduce this issue" or "After discussion, we've decided not to implement this feature at this time."]
If you have new information, feel free to reopen the issue with additional details.
Step 4: Close the Issue
Use update_issue to update the Issue state:
state:closed
Optionally:
- Update labels (e.g., add
fixedorresolved) - Assign to a milestone (add to a completed milestone)
Step 5: Output Summary
## Issue Closed
- Issue: #[number] [title]
- Reason: [Fixed / Cannot reproduce / Declined]
- Linked PR: #[number] (if any)
- Closing comment posted ✅
- Issue status updated to closed ✅
Notes
- Always confirm the issue is genuinely resolved before closing, to avoid premature closure
- When closing a bug reported by a user, thank them for the report
- When declining a feature request, explain the reason and close politely
- Using
closes #Nin a PR description will auto-close the Issue on merge — this skill is for cases where manual closure or an explanatory comment is needed
