vigilante-create-issue

vigilante-create-issue is a skill for Codex from aliengiraffe/vigilante. It costs 25 tokens per session (2,456 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided writing tool for turning a vague request into a detailed GitHub issue that a coding agent can implement and test. GitHub issues are tracked records of bugs, features, or tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Classifying and drafting feature, bug, or task issues, adding acceptance criteria and regression checks, and creating the issue on GitHub when the repository and access can be resolved.
Why use it?
It makes the expected behavior, limits, and checks explicit so implementation work is less ambiguous and easier to verify.

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

vigilante-create-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 10d 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.

Vigilante Create Issue

Overview

Use this skill when a human wants to write or refine a GitHub issue that Vigilante will later implement. The default goal is to turn a vague request into an issue with enough behavioral detail, constraints, and verification criteria for a headless coding agent to execute safely, then create that issue on GitHub. If creation is not possible, fall back to returning a ready-to-file issue body. The goal is not to design the full solution for them.

Outcome

Produce a GitHub issue that is:

  • classified as a feature, bug, or task before the draft is finalized
  • specific about the problem and why it matters
  • grounded in repository or product context
  • explicit about expected behavior and non-goals
  • realistic about implementation flexibility and hard constraints
  • testable through concrete acceptance criteria
  • clear about validation and regression coverage
  • created on GitHub by default when the target repository can be resolved and gh issue creation is available
  • returned as a polished Markdown draft only when the user explicitly asks for draft-only output or issue creation is blocked

Workflow

  1. Clarify the request before writing
  • Identify the change the user actually wants.
  • Ask for missing repository, product, or user context when it affects implementation.
  • Separate required behavior from guesses or preferences.
  1. Classify the request before finalizing the issue body
  • Decide whether the request is best treated as a feature, bug, or task.
  • Base the classification on the user's stated problem and desired outcome rather than implementation details.
  • If the request is ambiguous, infer the most likely type and state briefly that the type was inferred.
  • Use the selected type to decide which details are required in the issue body, not just to append a label.
  1. Resolve the target repository before finalizing output
  • Prefer local git context first when the user is working inside a repository.
  • Otherwise use an explicitly provided repository slug or URL.
  • If the repository cannot be resolved confidently, say so briefly and fall back to returning the ready-to-file issue body instead of guessing.

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.
