What is create-issue?

A command for creating a structured GitHub issue from a feature, bug, or refactoring description. It gathers details and includes a test-first implementation plan; TDD means writing tests before the code they check.

Use it to create labelled issues with specifications, schemas or API details, TDD steps, acceptance criteria, and instructions for completing the pull-request lifecycle.

It turns a short request into a shared plan with clear scope, technical details, error cases, files, and acceptance checks, reducing ambiguity for people and coding agents.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00656
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00262
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00131
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00066

Security

Grade A, and why

create-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 1mo 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.

Create GitHub Issue

Create a comprehensive, well-structured GitHub issue with embedded agent instructions for autonomous PR lifecycle management.

Usage

/create-issue [type] [description]

Arguments (optional - will prompt if not provided):

type: feature, bug, or refactor
description: Brief description of the issue

Examples

# Interactive mode (prompts for all details)
/create-issue

# With type specified
/create-issue feature

# With type and description
/create-issue bug "Login fails when email contains plus sign"

What This Does

Gathers context through interactive questions
Generates comprehensive issue with all required sections:
- Problem/Feature specification with clear scope
- Technical specification (types, schemas, APIs)
- TDD Implementation Plan with test-first cycles
- Error handling matrix
- Files to create/modify
- Acceptance criteria checklist
- Agent Instructions for complete PR lifecycle
Creates GitHub issue with appropriate labels
Returns issue number for tracking

Steps

Activate the create-issue skill: Load and follow the create-issue skill definition.
Gather information through the interactive flow:
- Issue type (Feature/Bug/Refactor)
- Brief description
- Complexity estimate
- Related files/services
Generate issue content using appropriate template
Create issue via gh issue create

Why Agent Instructions Matter

Every issue includes an "Agent Instructions" section that ensures:

Complete lifecycle: From implementation through merge
All comments addressed: Including trivial/nitpicks and out-of-scope
Individual responses: Every thread gets a reply
Iteration until done: Wait for reviews, iterate, don't auto-resolve
Issue creation for deferred work: > 1 day = new issue

This makes issues self-contained work packets that agents can execute autonomously while maintaining quality standards.

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.
