to-issues

to-issues is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from atman-33/workhub. It costs 31 tokens per session (798 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of to-issues, MIT.

A planning helper that turns a plan, specification, or product requirements document into separate tasks in a project's issue tracker. Each task covers a small working path through the relevant parts of the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating implementation issues from plans or requirements, organizing work into complete slices, and using the project's existing terms and decisions.
Why use it?
It makes a large piece of work easier to pick up by dividing it into focused tasks that can be worked on independently and demonstrated when complete.

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

to-issues 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 5d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to to-issues — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

To Issues

Break a plan into independently-grabbable issues using vertical slices (tracer bullets).

The issue tracker and triage label vocabulary should have been provided to you — run /setup-matt-pocock-skills if not.

Process

1. Gather context

Work from whatever is already in the conversation context. If the user passes an issue reference (issue number, URL, or path) as an argument, fetch it from the issue tracker and read its full body and comments.

2. Explore the codebase (optional)

If you have not already explored the codebase, do so to understand the current state of the code. Issue titles and descriptions should use the project's domain glossary vocabulary, and respect ADRs in the area you're touching.

Look for opportunities to prefactor the code to make the implementation easier. "Make the change easy, then make the easy change."

3. Draft vertical slices

Break the plan into tracer bullet issues. Each issue is a thin vertical slice that cuts through ALL integration layers end-to-end, NOT a horizontal slice of one layer.

  • Each slice delivers a narrow but COMPLETE path through every layer (schema, API, UI, tests)
  • A completed slice is demoable or verifiable on its own
  • Any prefactoring should be done first

4. Quiz the user

Present the proposed breakdown as a numbered list. For each slice, show:

  • Title: short descriptive name
  • Blocked by: which other slices (if any) must complete first
  • User stories covered: which user stories this addresses (if the source material has them)

Ask the user:

  • Does the granularity feel right? (too coarse / too fine)
  • Are the dependency relationships correct?
  • Should any slices be merged or split further?

Iterate until the user approves the breakdown.

5. Publish the issues to the issue tracker

For each approved slice, publish a new issue to the issue tracker. Use the issue body template below. These issues are considered ready for AFK agents, so publish them with the correct triage label unless instructed otherwise.

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.

to-issues is a skill published in the GitHub repository atman-33/workhub (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 798 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to to-issues, differing in 8 lines, and is treated as a copy.
