issue-tracker

A GitHub issue-tracking workflow for storing repository issues and specifications in GitHub. It uses the gh command-line tool to manage issues, comments, labels, and closures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating, viewing, listing, commenting on, labeling, and closing GitHub issues. It can also apply similar triage steps to pull requests when the repository enables that practice.
Why use it?
It keeps development decisions and work requests in one searchable place. It also defines consistent commands for reading and updating them.

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 2d 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

95% identical to issue-tracker — 10 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Issue tracker: GitHub

Issues and specs for this repo live as GitHub issues in svyatov/handrail. Use the gh CLI for all operations.

Conventions

  • Create an issue: gh issue create --title "..." --body "...". Use a heredoc for multi-line bodies.
  • 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 "..."

Infer the repo from git remote -v; gh does this automatically when run inside a clone.

Pull requests as a triage surface

PRs as a request surface: no. (Set to yes if this repo treats external PRs as feature requests; /triage reads this flag.)

When set to yes, PRs run through the same labels and states as issues, using the gh pr equivalents:

  • Read a PR: gh pr view <number> --comments and gh pr diff <number> for the diff.
  • List external PRs for triage: gh pr list --state open --json number,title,body,labels,author,authorAssociation,comments then keep only authorAssociation of CONTRIBUTOR, FIRST_TIME_CONTRIBUTOR, or NONE (drop OWNER/MEMBER/COLLABORATOR).
  • Comment / label / close: gh pr comment, gh pr edit --add-label/--remove-label, gh pr close.

GitHub shares one number space across issues and PRs, so a bare #42 may be either: resolve with gh pr view 42 and fall back to gh issue view 42.

When a skill says "publish to the issue tracker"

Create a GitHub issue.

When a skill says "fetch the relevant ticket"

Run gh issue view <number> --comments.

Wayfinding operations

Used by /wayfinder. The map is a single issue with child issues as tickets.

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.
