plumb: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/gh-runbook/SKILL.md

gh-runbook is a skill for Claude Code from aram-devdocs/plumb. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,176 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A runbook generator that turns a YAML work plan into draft GitHub issues. It creates a parent tracking issue, grouped child workstream issues, sequential batches, phase gates, and a script for creating them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate a runbook specification, generate issue and summary files, and prepare an idempotent GitHub CLI script for later issue creation.
Why use it?
It organizes large projects into reviewable workstreams without publishing issues automatically.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is aram-devdocs/plumb's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on plumb itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything plumb configures →

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

gh-runbook 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/generate_runbook.py, scripts/validate_skill.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/gh-runbook — spec-driven runbook generator

Turn a PRD-phase spec into a parent tracking issue + N child workstream issues + an idempotent gh issue create script. Target repo: aram-devdocs/plumb.

Use /gh-issue afterwards to drive each child issue through the delivery lifecycle.

Usage

/gh-runbook docs/runbooks/phase-1-spec.yaml --dry-run
/gh-runbook docs/runbooks/phase-1-spec.yaml --output-dir .agents/runs/gh-runbook/phase-1/
/gh-runbook docs/runbooks/roadmap-spec.yaml --output-dir .agents/runs/gh-runbook/roadmap/

The underlying script:

python3 .agents/skills/gh-runbook/scripts/generate_runbook.py \
    docs/runbooks/phase-1-spec.yaml \
    --output-dir .agents/runs/gh-runbook/phase-1/ \
    --dry-run

Workflow

  1. Read the spec YAML. Validate it against schemas/runbook-spec.json (via cargo xtask validate-runbooks if available, or via the generator's --validate-only mode).
  2. Render the parent issue body from assets/parent-issue-template.md with all batches laid out as sub-sections.
  3. Render one child issue body per child from assets/child-issue-template.md.
  4. Emit manifest.json, summary.md, create-issues.sh in the output directory.
  5. Review summary.md.
  6. Only execute create-issues.sh after approval — it creates the real GitHub issues and updates the parent body with real issue numbers.

What ships with it

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.
