liam: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/create-issue.md

create-issue is a command for Claude Code from liam-hq/liam. It costs 7 tokens per session (404 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for creating structured GitHub issues with the GitHub CLI. An issue is a GitHub record used to describe a bug, request, investigation, or other project work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a new issue from supplied text or from relevant points in a conversation, including technical investigations and proposed refactoring.
Why use it?
It helps turn a rough request or technical discussion into a clear record with background, requirements, risks, and possible approaches. This gives future contributors enough context to act on it.

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

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 2mo 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

Task

Create a new issue in a GitHub repository using the GitHub CLI.

Process

  1. Analyze the request: First, understand the context and technical implications
  2. Gather information: If the issue involves technical implementation, think through:
    • Current state vs desired state
    • Technical requirements and dependencies
    • Potential implementation approaches
    • Impact and risks
  3. Structure the issue: Create a well-structured issue with:
    • Clear title
    • Detailed body with background, requirements, and technical considerations
    • Use proper markdown formatting

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS

Argument Handling:

  • When arguments are provided: Create an issue based on the given content
  • When arguments are empty: Detect technical discussions from recent conversation and suggest creating an issue based on that context
  • When instructed to "create from conversation": Analyze conversation history to generate an issue

Best Practices

  • Argument validation: When arguments are empty, first analyze available conversation context
  • Conversation history utilization: Auto-detect technical investigations, bug discoveries, refactoring proposals
  • Research integration: Use code investigation and search results as evidence for the issue
  • Structured issues: Include the following sections:
    • Overview (problem summary)
    • Current state (technical current situation)
    • Investigation results (detailed research findings)
    • Action items (specific work to be done)
    • Impact analysis (risks and benefits)
    • Technical considerations (implementation notes)
  • Evidence documentation: Include specific file paths, line numbers, and search results
  • Cross-repository references: When referencing PRs or issues from repositories other than the target repository, use the full format repository#number (e.g., liam-hq/liam#2991) instead of just #number to ensure proper GitHub linking
Changes

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.
