 - Initial implementation of flaky test analysis action
 - Loki integration for fetching test failure logs
 - Git history analysis to find test authors
+- GitHub issue creation and management for flaky tests
+- Dry run mode for testing without creating issues
 - Comprehensive test suite with golden file testing
 
 ### Features
 
 - **Loki Log Analysis**: Fetches and parses test failure logs using LogQL
 - **Flaky Test Detection**: Identifies tests that fail inconsistently across branches
 - **Git Author Tracking**: Finds recent commits that modified flaky tests
+- **GitHub Integration**: Creates and updates issues with detailed test information
 - **Configurable Limits**: Top-K filtering to focus on most problematic tests
+- **Rich Issue Templates**: Detailed issue descriptions with investigation guidance

 # Go Flaky Tests
 
-A GitHub Action that detects and analyzes flaky Go tests by fetching logs from Loki and finding their authors.
+A GitHub Action that detects and analyzes flaky Go tests by fetching logs from Loki, finding their authors, and creating GitHub issues to track them.
 
 ## Features
 
 - **Loki Integration**: Fetches test failure logs from Loki using LogQL queries
 - **Flaky Test Detection**: Identifies tests that fail inconsistently across different branches
 - **Git History Analysis**: Finds test files and extracts recent commit authors
+- **GitHub Issue Management**: Creates and updates GitHub issues for flaky tests
+- **Dry Run Mode**: Preview functionality without creating actual issues

+## GitHub Issue Format
+
+The action creates GitHub issues with:
+
+- **Title**: `Flaky test: TestName`
+- **Labels**: `flaky-test`
+- **Body**: Detailed information about the test including:
+  - File path and test name
+  - Investigation tips and next steps
+  - Recent failure count and affected branches
+  - Recent authors who modified the test
+  - Links to failed workflow runs
+
+For existing issues, the action adds comments with updated failure information.
+
 ## Requirements
 
 - Go 1.22 or later
 - Git repository with test files
+- GitHub CLI (automatically available in GitHub Actions)
 - Access to Loki instance with test failure logs
