# Set Blocked-By — GitHub Issue Dependency Relationships
Manages blocked-by (dependency) relationships between GitHub issues using the GraphQL API.
```
REPO_OWNER="nick-pape"
REPO_NAME="grackle"
```
## Usage
- `/set-blocked-by <blocked#> <blocker#>` — mark issue as blocked by another
- `/set-blocked-by remove <blocked#> <blocker#>` — remove the blocked-by relationship
## Step 1: Get Node IDs
Fetch node IDs for both issues:
```bash
gh api graphql -f query='
query($owner: String!, $name: String!, $blocked: Int!, $blocker: Int!) {
repository(owner: $owner, name: $name) {
blocked: issue(number: $blocked) { id title }
blocker: issue(number: $blocker) { id title }
}
}
' -f owner="$REPO_OWNER" -f name="$REPO_NAME" -F blocked=<BLOCKED_NUMBER> -F blocker=<BLOCKER_NUMBER>
```
## Step 2: Mutate
### Add blocked-by
```bash
gh api graphql -f query='mutation {
addBlockedBy(input: {
issueId: "<BLOCKED_NODE_ID>",
blockingIssueId: "<BLOCKER_NODE_ID>"
}) { issue { number title } }
}'
```
### Remove blocked-by
```bash
gh api graphql -f query='mutation {
removeBlockedBy(input: {
issueId: "<BLOCKED_NODE_ID>",
blockingIssueId: "<BLOCKER_NODE_ID>"
}) { issue { number title } }
}'
```
**Field names** (easy to mix up):
- `issueId` = the issue that **is blocked**
- `blockingIssueId` = the issue that **is blocking** it
## Step 3: Confirm
Report what was done: "Marked #blocked as blocked by #blocker" or "Removed blocked-by relationship betwe
