Hi, thank you for maintaining GitHub CLI. I use it regularly and really appreciate the tool.

I also ran into the same issue described in #5865.

As background, I had not read the documentation carefully enough, and I only learned after finishing my tool that Markdown issue templates can already be used with gh issue create -T <name>.

However, my tool does not support Markdown issue templates themselves. It is focused on Issue Forms-style YAML templates: it reads the YAML template, prompts for the fields, generates a Markdown issue body, and finally creates the issue by calling GitHub CLI.

This is a TypeScript-based command-line tool. It can initialize Issue Forms-style YAML templates, create issue content based on the YAML fields, and pass the generated Markdown body to gh issue create.

This is not intended to replace native Issue Forms support in gh issue create, but it may be useful as a workaround or reference implementation for converting YAML issue forms into a Markdown body and passing it to GitHub CLI.
