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 B, and why

issue-executor scanned grade B 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/work-on-issue.sh), 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

**Solution**: Install the required tool. For `jq`, use `sudo apt install jq` or `brew install jq`. For `gemini`, follow its official installation instructions.

Issue Executor

Purpose

To kickstart the development workflow for a single GitHub issue by generating a comprehensive, context-aware implementation plan. This skill leverages the Gemini CLI to synthesize issue details, relevant specifications, and historical learnings from the project retrospective into a clear, actionable plan. It then creates an isolated feature branch, setting the stage for focused, spec-driven development.

When to Use

Use this skill in the following situations:

  • Starting work on a planned GitHub issue from the current sprint.
  • Beginning a work session and wanting a synthesized plan before coding.
  • Needing to load and understand all context for an issue efficiently.

Prerequisites

  • GitHub repository with issues created (via sprint-planner skill).
  • Git working directory is clean (no uncommitted changes).
  • Currently on the main branch.
  • gh CLI tool installed and authenticated.
  • jq tool installed for JSON parsing.
  • gemini CLI tool installed and authenticated.
  • Project has a docs/ structure with specs and a RETROSPECTIVE.md.

Core Principles

Context is King

Instead of just viewing files, the skill synthesizes all relevant context into a coherent plan:

  • Issue details: Requirements and acceptance criteria.
  • Spec files: All specifications referenced in the issue.
  • Retrospective: Learnings from past work to avoid repeating mistakes.

Isolation

All work happens on a dedicated feature branch to:

  • Protect the main branch from work-in-progress.
  • Enable a clean Pull Request workflow.
  • Allow abandoning work without impacting the main codebase.

Atomic Work

Each issue represents a single, well-defined task that can be completed and reviewed as a unit.

Workflow

Step 1: Identify the Issue

Determine which issue to work on. The user specifies the issue number (e.g., #45).

Step 2: Run the Helper Script

Execute the work-on-issue.sh script with the issue number:

bash scripts/work-on-issue.sh 45

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.
