arn-code-create-issue

A guided way to create an issue in GitHub or Jira, with labels for its type and priority. It checks that the project is configured and that required access is available.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to report bugs, request features, or add work to a project backlog.
Why use it?
It avoids opening the wrong tracker or submitting an issue before the project and account are ready.

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

arn-code-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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 152 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Arness Create Issue

Create an issue in the configured issue tracker (GitHub or Jira) with Arness labels for type and priority.


Step 1: Check Prerequisites

If no ## Arness section exists in the project's CLAUDE.md, inform the user: "Arness is not configured for this project yet. Run /arn-planning to get started — it will set everything up automatically." Do not proceed without it.

Read the Issue tracker field from ## Arness config in the project's CLAUDE.md (values: github, jira, or none). If the Issue tracker field is not present, fall back to legacy detection: check for GitHub: yes and treat as github; otherwise treat as none.

If Issue tracker is github

  1. git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree — must be inside a git repository
  2. git remote -v — must have a GitHub remote (origin pointing to github.com)
  3. gh auth status — the GitHub CLI must be authenticated

If any check fails, inform the user what is missing and suggest running /arn-planning to get started. Do not proceed until all prerequisites are satisfied.

If Issue tracker is jira

  1. Read Jira project and Jira site from ## Arness config
  2. Verify the Atlassian MCP server is available (attempt a lightweight MCP call, e.g., list projects)
  3. If the MCP server is not available: "The Atlassian MCP server is not available. Run /mcp to check status, or run /arn-planning to reconfigure."

If Issue tracker is none

Inform the user: "Issue management is not configured for this project. Run /arn-planning to get started, or configure the issue tracker manually."

STOP — do not proceed.


Trigger message inference: If the user's trigger message contains enough context to infer the issue type, priority, and title (e.g., "create issue: high priority bug — checkout page crashes on empty cart"), extract these values and present them for confirmation rather than re-asking each question separately. If the trigger message is ambiguous, proceed with the standard question flow below.

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.
