issue-tracker

issue-tracker is an agent for coding agents from sponge-b0b/Polaris. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,754 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Instructions for managing this repository's issues and product requirements through GitHub, a service for hosting code and tracking work. They distinguish issue-management mechanics from the workflows that are allowed to create or change issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when reading issues or carrying out authorized issue operations with the GitHub command-line tool.
Why use it?
They prevent agents from creating or changing workflow issues without the correct process and approval.

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-tracker 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 3d 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.

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 tracker: GitHub

Issues and PRDs for this repo live as GitHub issues. Use the gh CLI for all operations.

Lifecycle authority

GitHub commands and connector operations are tracker mechanics, not permission to create or mutate workflow artifacts.

Agents must create, publish, close, reopen, or otherwise perform lifecycle-significant mutation of a workflow issue only through the skill that owns that artifact's lifecycle. A tool capability, this document, repository write access, or a request to "record" or "track" work does not by itself authorize direct issue creation or lifecycle mutation.

Before creating any issue, identify the lifecycle-owning skill and follow its publication/approval contract. If no existing skill owns the proposed artifact type, do not create the issue directly; keep the information in the appropriate repository artifact or surface the missing workflow owner.

Direct issue reads and mechanical operations are allowed only when an owning skill or explicit repository procedure authorizes them for the active lifecycle.

Conventions

The commands below describe mechanics to use when the applicable lifecycle owner authorizes the operation.

  • Create an issue: use gh issue create --title "..." --body "..." only for simple single-line bodies. For Markdown or any multi-line body, use a literal heredoc through --body-file - so shell syntax is never expanded:

    gh issue create \
      --title "..." \
      --body-file - <<'EOF'
    Markdown containing `symbols`, $variables, $(commands), and other shell-sensitive text stays literal.
    EOF
    

    Do not use an unquoted heredoc delimiter or interpolate a multi-line body through the shell.

  • Read an issue: gh issue view <number> --comments, filtering comments by jq and also fetching labels.

  • List issues: gh issue list --state open --json number,title,body,labels,comments --jq '[.[] | {number, title, body, labels: [.labels[].name], comments: [.comments[].body]}]' with appropriate --label and --state filters.

  • Comment on an issue: gh issue comment <number> --body "..."

  • Apply / remove labels: gh issue edit <number> --add-label "..." / --remove-label "..."

  • Close: gh issue close <number> --comment "..."

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.

issue-tracker is an agent published in the GitHub repository sponge-b0b/Polaris (4 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,754 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
