pull-request context retrieval across GitHub, GitLab, Jira, and Bitbucket.\nIt supports structured output for AI agents and direct human usage, with machine-readable formats (`json`, `yaml`, `jsonl`/`ndjson`) and a human-readable `text` format.\n\n## Why This Tool\n\nSoftware tasks often depend on decisions made in earlier issues and pull requests.\n`99problems` helps recover that history in a consistent shape so current work can be grounded in prior context.\n\nThis is useful for Agentic Engineering workflows and for humans doing direct investigation in terminals or scripts.\n\n## Installation\n\nInstall the CLI:\n\n```bash\nnpm install -g @mbe24/99problems\n# or\ncargo install problems99\n```\n\nInitialize the canonical `99problems` Agent Skill scaffold:\n\n```bash\n# initialize the canonical 99problems skill in the current project\n99problems skill init\n# or use the global skill location (shared across projects)\n99problems skill init --path ~/.agents/skills\n```\n\n## Quick Start\n\nThere are two primary ways to use `99problems`. Refer to Agentic Use for AI-assisted workflows, or Manual Use for direct CLI usage.\n\n### Agentic Use\n\nNow that the skill is installed, start your agent session.\nUse it to retrieve cross-system context for concrete engineering tasks like topic mapping, bug triage, and progress estimation.\n\nTo map work related to a topic across issues and PRs (with explicit skill invocation):\n\n```text\nllm-prompt\u003e Use $99problems find related issues and PRs for topic \"architectural redesign\"\n```\n\nTo produce a bug-focused status overview for a repository (with implicit skill invocation):\n\n```text\nllm-prompt\u003e Create an overview of open bugs and cross-reference them with active PRs in owner/repo.\n```\n\nTo estimate delivery progress from linked tracker and PR state:\n\n```text\nllm-prompt\u003e Estimate progress for topic \"build modernization\" based on linked issues and PR states.\n```\n\n### Manual Use\n\nUse this when you run `99problems` directly in a terminal to fetch context from specific providers.\n\n```bash\n# Fetch one GitHub issue\n99problems get --repo schemaorg/schemaorg --id 1842\n\n# Fetch one PR with inline review comments\n99problems get --repo github/gitignore --id 2402 --type pr --include-review-comments\n\n# Search GitLab issues\n99problems get --platform gitlab -q \"repo:veloren/veloren is:issue state:closed terrain\"\n\n# Fetch Jira issue by key\n99problems get --platform jira --id CLOUD-12817\n\n# Fetch Bitbucket Cloud PR by ID\n99problems get --platform bitbucket --deployment cloud --repo workspace/repo_slug --id 1 --type pr\n\n# Fetch Bitbucket Data Center PR by ID\n99problems get --platform bitbucket --deployment selfhosted --url https://bitbucket.mycompany.com --repo PROJECT/repo_slug --id 1\n\n# Stream as JSON Lines for pipelines\n99problems get -q \"repo:github/gitignore is:issue state:open\" --output-mode stream --format jsonl\n```\n\n## Commands\n\n```text\n99problems get [OPTIONS]               Fetch issue and pull request conversations\n99problems skill init [OPTIONS]        Scaffold the canonical Agent Skill\n99problems config \u003cSUBCOMMAND\u003e         Inspect and edit .99problems configuration\n99problems completions \u003cSHELL\u003e         Generate shell completion scripts\n99problems man [OPTIONS]               Generate man pages (stdout or files)\n```\n\nGlobal options:\n\n```text\n-v, --verbose              Increase diagnostics (-v, -vv, -vvv)\n-Q, --quiet                Show errors only\n    --error-format \u003cFMT\u003e   Error output: text|json (default: text)\n-h, --help                 Print help\n-V, --version              Print version\n```\n\n## Configuration\n\n`99problems` uses instance-based TOML config from:\n\n- `~/.99problems`\n- `./.99problems`\n\nExample:\n\n```toml\ndefault_instance = \"work-gitlab\"\n\n[instances.github]\nplatform = \"github\"\nrepo = \"owner/repo\"\ntoken = \"ghp_your_token\"\n\n[instances.work-gitlab]\nplatform = \"gitlab\"\nurl = \"https://gitlab.mycompany.com\"\nrepo = \"group/project\"\ntoken = \"glpat_your_token\"\n\n[instances.work-jira]\nplatform = \"jira\"\nurl = \"https://jira.mycompany.com\"\nrepo = \"project\"\ntoken = \"atlassian_api_token\"\naccount_email = \"user@example.com\"\n\n[instances.bitbucket-cloud]\nplatform = \"bitbucket\"\ndeployment = \"cloud\"\nrepo = \"workspace/repo_slug\"\ntoken = \"username:app_password\"\n\n[instances.bitbucket-dc]\nplatform = \"bitbucket\"\ndeployment = \"selfhosted\"\nurl = \"https://bitbucket.mycompany.com\"\nrepo = \"project/repo_slug\"\ntoken = \"pat_or_bearer_token\"\n```\n\nBitbucket support is pull-request only; when `--type` is omitted, `99problems` defaults to PRs.\nFor Bitbucket Cloud, use an app-password, repository access token, or workspace-level access token (premium feature) in `token`.\n\nSelection order: `--instance` -\u003e single configured instance -\u003e `default_instance`.\n\n### Telemetry\n\n```toml\n[telemetry]\nenabled = true\notlp_endpoint = \"http://localhost:4318/v1/traces\"\nexclude_targets = [\"h2\", \"hyper\", \"hyper_util\", \"rustls\"]\n```\n\nTelemetry is best-effort and traces `99problems get` without changing normal command behavior or exit codes. For quick local OpenTelemetry backend setup, use Grafana LGTM (Docker image: [`grafana/otel-lgtm`](https://hub.docker.com/r/grafana/otel-lgtm)).\n\nUse `telemetry.exclude_targets` to suppress noisy span-target prefixes (prefix match). Equivalent config command:\n\n```bash\n99problems config set telemetry.exclude_targets h2,hyper,hyper_util,rustls\n```\nNote that telemetry export requires a build with the telemetry-otel feature enabled:\n- `telemetry-otel` controls whether OTEL support is compiled in.\n- Default builds include it.\n- Use `--no-default-features` for telemetry-free release binaries.\n\n## Output Modes\n\n`get` supports two orthogonal controls:\n\n- `--format`: `json`, `yaml`, `jsonl`, `ndjson` (alias of `jsonl`), `text`\n- `--output-mode`: `auto`, `batch`, `stream` (or `--stream`)\n\nPayload controls:\n\n- `--no-comments`: skip issue/PR comments\n- `--include-review-comments`: include inline review comments (for PRs)\n- `--no-links`: skip linked-issue/PR metadata\n\nDefaults:\n\n- TTY stdout: `--format text`, `--output-mode auto` (resolved to streaming)\n- piped stdout / file output: `--format jsonl`, `--output-mode auto` (resolved to streaming)\n\nUse `--output-mode batch` when you want all-or-nothing output at the end.\n\n## Shell Completions\n\n```bash\n99problems completions bash\n99problems completions zsh\n99problems completions powershell\n```\n\n## Documentation\n\nProject documentation is available at [99problems.readthedocs.io](https://99problems.readthedocs.io/).\n\nPublic docs source lives in [`docs/`](docs/). Internal-only notes belong in [`docs/internal/`](docs/internal/) and are excluded from the published site.\n\n### Man Pages\n\nGenerate and print root man page:\n\n```bash\n99problems man\n```\n\nGenerate all pages to disk:\n\n```bash\n99problems man --output docs/man --section 1\n```\n\n## Support this project\n\nIf 99problems saves you time, you can support ongoing maintenance via [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/mbe24) or [Ko-fi](https://ko-fi.com/mbe24).\n\n## Contributing\n\nSee [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\n## License\n\nSee [LICENSE](LICENSE).\n\nCopyright (c) 2026 Mikael Beyene\n","funding_links":["https://github.com/sponsors/mbe24","https://ko-fi.com/mbe24"],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmbe24%2F99problems","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmbe24%2F99problems","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmbe24%2F99problems/lists"}
