BREAK-UP-GH-ISSUE

BREAK-UP-GH-ISSUE is a command for Codex from dep/agent-rules. It costs 0 tokens per session (147 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that turns a GitHub issue—a tracked task or problem in a code repository—into a set of smaller, connected work items. It can update an existing issue when given its web address or create a new one.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning implementation work from GitHub issues and writing detailed sub-tasks that describe expected behavior without prescribing code.
Why use it?
It breaks broad requests into clearer steps with dependencies, making the required work easier to follow. It also asks for clarification when important details are uncertain.

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

BREAK-UP-GH-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 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.

What it actually says

Break up Github Issue into Sub-tasks

Overview

Use the Github MCP server (or the Github (gh) skill) to create a plan of execution for the provided Github issue (if a URL was provided, update the issue, otherwise create a new issue).

This should include multiple logical steps with interlinking dependencies to accomplish the acceptance criteria set in the Github issue.

Each sub-task should be a detailed description of the request, including the expected behavior, and any relevant context without getting into the details of the implementation with code.

One-at-a-time, ask for clarification on any details you are not 100% sure about. The options should be listed as A, B, C, to make choosing easier.

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.
