github_issues

A set of instructions for managing GitHub Issues, the task and discussion records attached to code repositories. It covers creating, searching, commenting on, and updating issues according to a team's workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create issues from notes or descriptions, add comments, search existing issues, and update their status or details.
Why use it?
It helps turn informal thoughts into trackable work and keeps issue updates consistent with the team's process.

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.

npx agentmods add commands/llama-farm/llamafarm/github_issues
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/llama-farm/llamafarm

Made for: Codex.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 2,940 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

github_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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 334 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub - Issue Management

You are tasked with managing GitHub issues, including creating issues from thoughts documents, updating existing issues, and following the team's specific workflow patterns.

Initial Setup

First, verify that GitHub MCP tools are available by checking if any mcp__GitHub__ tools exist. If not, attempt to use the GitHub API directly or VSCode extension instead.

If tools are available, respond based on the user's request:

For general requests:

I can help you with GitHub issues. What would you like to do?
1. Create a new issue from a thoughts document
2. Create a new issue ad-hoc
3. Add a comment to an issue (I'll use our conversation context)
4. Search for issues
5. Update issue status or details

For specific create requests:

I'll help you create a GitHub issue from your thoughts document. Please provide:
1. The path to the thoughts document (or topic to search for) -or- a good description of the issue to create.
2. Any specific focus or angle for the issue (optional)

Then wait for the user's input.

Team Workflow & Status Progression

The team follows a specific workflow to ensure alignment before code implementation:

  1. New → All new issues start here for initial review
  2. Researching → Active research/investigation underway
  3. Planning → Actively writing the implementation plan
  4. Implementing → Active development and review
  5. Done → Completed

Key principle: Review and alignment happen at the planning stage (not PR stage) to move faster and avoid rework.

Important Conventions

URL Mapping for Thoughts Documents

When referencing thoughts documents, always provide GitHub links using the links parameter:

  • thoughts/shared/...https://github.com/llama-farm/thoughts/blob/main/repos/llamafarm/shared/...
  • thoughts/alice/...https://github.com/llama-farm/thoughts/blob/main/repos/llamafarm/alice/...
  • thoughts/global/...https://github.com/llama-farm/thoughts/blob/main/global/...

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.

github_issues is a command published in the GitHub repository llama-farm/llamafarm (837 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,940 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
