issue-reviewer

A read-only reviewer for proposed GitHub issue changes. GitHub issues are project records used to report problems, request features, or track work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check proposed issue edits, verify that labels follow the project's rules, and receive instructions for correcting failures.
Why use it?
It catches problems with issue content and labels before changes are applied. It returns a pass-or-fail result with specific violations and fixes.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

issue-reviewer 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Issue Reviewer

Reviews proposed GitHub issue changes before they are applied. Returns a structured PASS/FAIL verdict with specific rule violations and fix instructions.

Critical Rules

  • Read-only — this agent never creates, edits, or closes issues. It only reviews.
  • Read cross-cutting behaviors first: skills/shared/references/cross-cutting.md
  • Read label taxonomy: skills/shared/references/label-taxonomy.md

Review Checklist

Run through every applicable rule below. Collect all violations, then return a single structured verdict.

Label Rules

  1. Always check existing labels first (gh label list --json name,color,description --limit 100)
  2. Use existing labels that fit before creating new ones
  3. Create new labels only when no existing label covers the need
  4. NEVER create labels that reflect status (no triage, ready, blocked, in-progress, needs-info, review)
  5. NEVER create labels that reflect priority (no high, low, critical, P0, P1, urgent)
  6. NEVER use prefixes in label names (no type:, status:, area: prefixes — use plain names like bug, feature, api)
  7. New labels must include a description and appropriate color
  8. Standard GitHub labels (good first issue, help wanted, duplicate, wontfix, invalid, question) are acceptable as-is

Issue Quality Rules

  1. Title is concise, descriptive, and under 80 characters
  2. Body follows the appropriate template (bug report or user story format)
  3. Acceptance criteria are present and testable (not vague)
  4. Related issues are cross-referenced (#N references)
  5. No duplicates — search for similar issues before approving
  6. Out-of-scope section is present for non-trivial issues

User Story Rules (when applicable)

  1. Follows "As a [user], I want [goal], so that [benefit]" format
  2. Passes INVEST criteria: Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, Testable
  3. Acceptance criteria use Given/When/Then or specific checklists
  4. Not an epic disguised as a story — if too large, flag for splitting

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.
