ace:consider-issues

A command for reviewing issues recorded in ISSUES.md, a file used to track problems and improvements postponed during work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review each issue's type, priority, effort, context, and suggested approach before choosing what to address.
Why use it?
It helps decide which deferred issues should now be included in the current plan.

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

ace:consider-issues 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.

Understanding ISSUES.md

Origin

ISSUES.md is created and updated during plan execution when agents encounter situations that deviate from the plan. This happens when:

  • A task cannot be completed as specified
  • An agent discovers a problem outside their current task scope
  • Edge cases are found that weren't anticipated
  • Technical debt is identified during implementation
  • Enhancement opportunities are spotted but out of scope

Agents log issues using the log-issue command, which appends to ISSUES.md.

1. Load and Parse Issues

Read ISSUES.md and extract all issue entries. For each issue, capture:

  • ID and title
  • Type, priority, and effort estimates
  • Source (which phase/plan/task created it)
  • Age (how long it's been deferred)

Build an in-memory index of all issues for categorization.

2. Categorize Issues

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.
