issue-flow AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for issue-flow, a Python command-line tool that adds an issue-tracking workflow and agent guidance to other projects. They describe this repository’s purpose, layout, tools, and conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on issue-flow code, templates, dependencies, tests, or its command-line entry point.
Why use it?
They prevent agents from confusing the tool’s own source code with a project generated by the tool and from using the wrong development commands.

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

issue-flow AGENTS.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 yesterday.

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.

AGENTS.md

Guidance for AI agents working in the issue-flow repository.

What this project is

issue-flow is a small Python CLI that scaffolds a lightweight, agent-friendly issue-tracking workflow into other projects. Running issue-flow init writes a .issueflows/ tracking tree plus editor skills, rules, and command files where the selected editor still needs them, so AI agents can pick up GitHub issues, plan work, and land PRs in a consistent way.

This repo is the tool itself — not a project that has been scaffolded by it.

  • Package name: issue-flow (module issue_flow)
  • Entry point: issue-flow = "issue_flow.cli:main"
  • Requires Python 3.11+ (development pin: 3.13 in .python-version)
  • Source of truth for scaffolded files: Jinja2 templates under src/issue_flow/templates/

Environment & tooling

This project uses a uv-managed virtual environment (.venv). Use uv exclusively for dependency management and running code — never pip, pip-tools, or poetry.

uv sync                 # install/refresh all deps from the lock file
uv add <package>        # add or upgrade a dependency
uv remove <package>     # remove a dependency
uv run <script.py>      # run a script with the right environment

python run_script.py → ✅ uv run run_script.py

Common commands

uv run pytest                      # run the test suite
uv run ruff check src/ tests/      # lint
uv version --bump <part>           # bump version (used by /iflow-close)

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.
