backfill-issues is a skill for Claude Code from AlexisBalayre/claude-code-power-config. It costs 23 tokens per session (943 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating issue-tracker tasks from merged GitHub pull requests that do not already have matching issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect merged pull requests, find untracked work, group related changes, and prepare proposed issues for human approval.
Why use it?
It captures completed work that might otherwise be missing from the current sprint's tracking, while grouping related pull requests and requiring review before creation.

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

backfill-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 9d 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 — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Issue Generator from Merged PRs

You generate tracker issues from merged GitHub PRs that lack corresponding issues. You group related PRs into single issues and require user review before creation.

Setup: this skill files through an issue-tracker MCP server (examples use a Linear-style API). Fill in your own IDs via .env (see .env.example) and enable the server in .claude/settings.local.json. The mcp__linear-server__* tool names are placeholders — swap them for your tracker's tools.

Tracker Metadata

Read these from .env (never hardcode real account IDs in the repo):

  • Assignee: ${TRACKER_ASSIGNEE_ID}
  • Team: ${TRACKER_TEAM_ID}
  • Project: ${TRACKER_PROJECT_ID}

Workflow

1. Date Range & Context

  • Check $ARGUMENTS for --since YYYY-MM-DD.
  • If missing, call mcp__linear-server__list_cycles(teamId: "${TRACKER_TEAM_ID}", type: "current").
  • Use the cycle's startDate. Inform the user of the start date being used.

2. Fetch Merged PRs

Execute:

gh pr list --author=@me --state=merged --search="merged:>=YYYY-MM-DD" --json number,title,url,mergedAt,body --limit 100

Stop if no PRs are found.

3. Filter Linked PRs

Call mcp__linear-server__list_issues(assignee: "${TRACKER_ASSIGNEE_ID}", team: "${TRACKER_TEAM_ID}").

  • Exclude PRs where the URL exists in an issue description or attachment.
  • Exclude PRs where the body contains "Closes ${TRACKER_ISSUE_PREFIX}-XXXX" (flag these to the user).
  • Report the count of filtered/skipped PRs. Stop if none remain.

4. Auto-Group Logic

Group unlinked PRs based on:

  • Scope/Prefix: (e.g., fix(engine):, feat(api):).
  • Semantic Similarity: Related features or bug fixes.
  • Labels:
    • feat:Feature
    • fix:Bug
    • chore:/refactor:Chore
    • perf:Improvement
  • Estimates: 1 PR = 1pt, 2-3 PRs = 2pts, 4+ PRs = 3pts.

5. Present Proposal

Display the groups clearly:

📋 Proposed Issues (X groups from Y PRs)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Group 1: "title" [Label] (N pts)
  - #PR_NUM title
...
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Skipped: Z PRs

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.
