issue-conventions-setup

issue-conventions-setup is a skill for Claude Code from artem-from-ua/claude-plugins. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,934 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive setup wizard for defining how a repository names and groups GitHub issues. It scans the code and existing issues, asks for your preferences, records the rules in the repository, and creates the matching GitHub labels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up issue categories, title prefixes, label colours, descriptions, required rules, and mappings from old labels. It also checks GitHub access and the amount of existing issue data before making recommendations.
Why use it?
It removes the need to design an issue-label system by hand and helps avoid inconsistent titles and labels. It can also account for labels and naming rules already in use.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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-conventions-setup 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 1mo 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.

Issue Conventions — Setup

Designs a taxonomy for this repository, writes it as a document, and creates the labels.

Steps

1. Preflight

Run gh auth status — stop with instructions if it fails. Get the repo with gh repo view --json nameWithOwner.

Count issues: bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/fetch-issues.sh" --count-only. If the count is below thresholds.minIssues (30 by default), use AskUserQuestion: Continue anyway (the taxonomy will lean on code structure, with weaker evidence for topical axes) or Postpone. This is a recommendation, never a block — with fewer issues there is not enough material to see what the maintainers actually work on.

If a config already exists, read it and its document, and pre-fill every answer from the document.

2. Scan the repo for candidates

Follow ${SKILL_DIR}/references/repo-scan.md. It produces four lists: structural candidates with a proposed axis name, topical candidates each backed by two real issue numbers, title prefixes already in use, and the existing labels with their usage counts.

3. Interview

Run it per ${SKILL_DIR}/references/interview.md — the full question order, option texts, and defaults live there. Every question offers the step-2 candidates; never an empty prompt.

Anything shown as a candidate but not chosen goes into ignore=, alongside what step 2 filtered out automatically. Without this the drift check keeps re-raising what the user already declined.

4. Look for gaps before confirming

Before showing the axis table, run one cheap pass: which issues do not fit the dictionary just assembled? Sample 20–30 across the corpus and ask, per issue, whether any value covers it.

The frequency scan in step 2 cannot find these by construction — it keeps terms recurring in three or more issues, so a surface with one or two loses out. On the second polygon four values had to be added mid-run this way, each covering 1–4 issues, and each addition meant returning to already-classified batches. Finding them here costs one pass; finding them later costs a re-run.

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.
