issue-sweep

issue-sweep is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArcBlock/agent-skills. It costs 179 tokens per session (20,677 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A batch workflow for reviewing open GitHub issues that contain new human replies. It checks each issue against the repository and then routes it to the appropriate review process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Scanning GitHub issues, processing newly replied issues, verifying requests against code, and preparing or carrying out the relevant documentation or code changes.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually find which issues need attention and keeps human feedback from being overlooked. It can organize approved documentation updates, bug fixes, or deletions while handling feature requests cautiously.

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

issue-sweep scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (test/sweep-golden/golden.test.ts, test/sweep-golden/lib.ts), 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.

Issue Sweep — batch-process issues with new human replies

Repo profile — read .claude/repo-profile.md first. This skill is repo-agnostic; arc is the reference implementation. Use the profile's values wherever this doc shows an arc default: repo_slug (the gh -R <owner/repo> target), gate_mode (arc = scripts: no CI on PRs), verification_entry / pre_merge_entry (gate commands), kb_issue, the UI Face Paths, and plugin_root (where issue-graph's scripts live). Arc's own provenance for the lessons below (issue numbers, war-stories) is not inlined here (fuller case narratives, where they exist, are under .claude/case-law/).

A batch driver over issue-review. issue-review handles ONE issue (read → verify against code → act). issue-sweep finds which issues need handling right now — the ones whose latest comment is a human reply the agent hasn't acted on yet — and runs the per-issue engine on each.

This is the thing a cron should schedule: one run = scan + process a batch. In environments without a working scheduler, run it by hand: /agentloop:issue-sweep.

★ 无人值守铁律(cron routine / /loop——本 skill 的默认运行形态):绝不调用任何会等待用户的工具——AskUserQuestionWorkflow(需交互式 opt-in 确认)、EnterPlanMode(退出需用户批准)。 无人应答 → 整条 routine 永久挂死(实测:sweep routine 整夜卡在「是否运行 workflow」的提问上)。需要人拍板的问题,照 design-review Autonomous escalation 范式处理:把选项 + 你的推荐 + 被 block 的内容作为 comment(挂 needs-human-confirm)落到对应 issue,然后继续处理下一项禁止的是会等待确认的交互式编排,不是并行本身:无人值守环境优先使用无需 opt-in、不会等待用户的 subagent/agent fan-out;若当前 runtime 没有这种能力才串行 inline fallback。repo hook(.claude/hooks/deny-interactive-unattended.py)会在无人值守 session 硬 deny 这三个工具兜底——被 deny 即说明你在无人值守环境,按本条纪律走,不要重试。

输出语言与写作规范(中文,信雅达),同 issue-review 所有面向团队的产出——issue/PR comment、PR/issue 描述正文、issue 标题、triage 说明——一律中文;代码标识符、路径、命令、path:line、测试输出保持原样。PR 与 commit 标题必须全英文——完整 Conventional Commits(type(scope): english description,冒号后的描述也用英文),不得留中文;issue 标题保持中文。不堆砌:先一句话结论,再最少但足够的证据(文档 / 代码 path:line / 真实测试输出,UI 相关必附截图);长日志折叠进 <details>

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.
