08-github-workflow-standards

A set of standards for managing GitHub issues, pull requests, milestones, and releases in the Matryca Plumber project. It defines title formats, required issue sections, labels, and links to audits or larger work.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps write and organize GitHub issues, pull requests, milestones, release notes, and audit-related work.
Why use it?
It makes project-management records consistent and easier to understand, search, and maintain over time.

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.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 21 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,428 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

08-github-workflow-standards 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 — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Workflow Standards (Matryca Plumber)

When creating, updating, or closing GitHub issues, pull requests, milestones, or releases, follow these official GitHub best practices so the repository maintains authoritative project management.

Rule routing: Complements 05-release-preparation.mdc (semver releases), 06-auto-changelog.mdc (user-visible bullets), and the user rule for gh pr create.

Issue taxonomy

Title format

Use a category prefix + concise description + optional audit marker:

[Security] Path traversal on read in link verification [v1.9.x Audit #01]
[Bug] Hub pages written without OCC or page_rmw_lock
[Performance] AST cache full-reload on delete or parser failure
[Tech Debt] Centralize _env_bool / _env_int (8+ duplicates)
  • Prefix must match the primary label category.
  • Audit-track issues include [v1.9.x Audit #NN] for idempotent bulk scripts.

Body structure (mandatory sections)

Every substantive issue body MUST use these headers (in order):

## Problem Description
## Proposed Architectural Solution
## Estimated Impact
## Files Involved

Add metadata footer when from audit or epic:

---
**Audit metadata** / **Epic link**
_Closes when merged with tests green (`make check`) and CHANGELOG updated._

Labels (semantic, lowercase)

Label When to use
security Sandbox, auth, secret handling, SSRF
bug Incorrect behavior, race, data loss
performance I/O, memory, latency
tech-debt Refactor, DRY, typing, module split
v1.9.x Pre-v2.0 perfection track
v2.0 Shadow DB / Safe-Sync epic
v2-prep Phase 0–1: prerequisites, GraphRepository ports
v2-alpha Phase 2–3: shadow sync, read routing flag
v2-memory Biological memory layer
v2-safesync Logseq DB Safe-Sync write bridge
audit-2026 Bulk-created from perfection audit

Create missing labels via gh label create before assigning. Use scripts/github_audit_tracker.sh as the canonical bulk importer.

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.

08-github-workflow-standards is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository MarcoPorcellato/matryca-plumber (96 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 1,428 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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.
