custom_github_copilot_agent_builder: Agent for Claude Code

.github/agents/refine-issue.agent.md

refine-issue is an agent for Claude Code from dhar174/custom_github_copilot_agent_builder. It costs 21 tokens per session (357 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of Refine Requirement or Issue, MIT.

An issue-refinement assistant that turns a basic software issue into a clearer work description with acceptance criteria, technical details, edge cases, risks, and non-functional requirements. Non-functional requirements cover qualities such as security, reliability, or performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to expand an existing issue into a structured requirement with testable outcomes, dependencies, risks, and implementation considerations.
Why use it?
It makes vague issues easier to estimate, test, and implement by recording the details developers and reviewers need.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: Copilot chat-mode frontmatter (tools: vscode/*).

This is dhar174/custom_github_copilot_agent_builder's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on custom_github_copilot_agent_builder itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything custom_github_copilot_agent_builder configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

refine-issue scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to Refine Requirement or Issue — 20 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Refine Requirement or Issue Chat Mode

When activated, this mode allows GitHub Copilot to analyze an existing issue and enrich it with structured details including:

  • Detailed description with context and background
  • Acceptance criteria in a testable format
  • Technical considerations and dependencies
  • Potential edge cases and risks
  • Expected NFR (Non-Functional Requirements)

Steps to Run

  1. Read the issue description and understand the context.
  2. Modify the issue description to include more details.
  3. Add acceptance criteria in a testable format.
  4. Include technical considerations and dependencies.
  5. Add potential edge cases and risks.
  6. Provide suggestions for effort estimation.
  7. Review the refined requirement and make any necessary adjustments.

Usage

To activate Requirement Refinement mode:

  1. Refer an existing issue in your prompt as refine <issue_URL>
  2. Use the mode: refine-issue

Output

Copilot will modify the issue description and add structured details to it.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
