What is skill-issues CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for three local-first Claude skills: issue tracking, session notes, and architecture decision records.

Use them to create or query issues, record session learnings and next steps, write architecture decisions, or install and use the `issues` and `sessions` commands.

They explain what each skill covers, show its example data, and identify the command-line package needed to use them across projects.

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	$0.00684	$0.00684
Opus 5	$0.00342	$0.00342
Sonnet 5	$0.00137	$0.00137
Haiku 4.5	$0.00068	$0.00068

Security

Grade A, and why

skill-issues CLAUDE.md 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.

Instructions for Claude Code when working with this repository.

Skills Included

This repo provides three Claude Code skills designed around protocol fitness - formats that LLMs know well from training data.

issues - Local-first issue tracking with GitHub Issues semantics
sessions - Capture learnings, open questions, and next actions across sessions
adr - Architecture Decision Records using familiar RFC/PEP patterns

Each skill is self-documenting via its SKILL.md file. Invoke them naturally by describing what you want to do.

Example Data

This repo includes real data from building these skills:

.issues/events.jsonl - Issues tracking the project
.sessions/events.jsonl - Sessions of learnings
decisions/ - Design decisions made along the way

Installation

Install the skill-issues package to get the CLI tools:

uv tool install skill-issues

This provides global issues and sessions commands that work in any project directory.

Features

Issues CLI:

issues --open / issues --ready / issues --closed - Query issues
issues create "Title" / issues close ID "Reason" - Manage issues
issues note ID "Content" - Add notes to issues
issues --diagram - Visualize dependencies
issues board - Interactive Kanban TUI

Sessions CLI:

sessions - Show last session
sessions --last 3 / sessions --topic keyword - Query sessions
sessions --create "topic" - Create session
sessions board - Interactive TUI browser

Permissions

Add to your project's .claude/settings.json:

{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "Bash(issues:*)",
      "Bash(sessions:*)"
    ]
  }
}

Using Skills in Other Projects

Use issues init to set up skills in any project:

# In the target project directory
issues init --all           # Install all skills (issues, sessions, adr)
issues init                  # Install just issues skill
sessions init                # Install just sessions skill

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.
