analyze-issue

A command that turns a GitHub issue into a structured technical specification. GitHub issues are shared records of bugs, requests, and development tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for summarizing the problem, choosing a technical approach, listing implementation and test steps, identifying files to change, and defining success criteria.
Why use it?
It removes the need to turn a loosely written issue into an implementation plan by hand.

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.

Or install analyze-issue, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 command.

Per session 23 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

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

analyze-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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to analyze-issue — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

GitHub Issue Analysis and Technical Specification Generator

This template/script generates a technical specification for a GitHub issue with the following components:

Key Components

  1. A bash script to fetch GitHub issue details
  2. A structured technical specification template with sections:
    • Issue Summary
    • Problem Statement
    • Technical Approach
    • Implementation Plan
    • Test Plan
    • Files to Modify/Create
    • Success Criteria
    • Out of Scope

Principles

  • Test-Driven Development (TDD)
  • KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) approach
  • 300-line file size limit

The template is designed to provide a comprehensive, structured approach to analyzing and documenting technical issues from GitHub.

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.
