create-deferred-issues

create-deferred-issues is a skill for Claude Code from cboone/agent-harness-plugins. It costs 45 tokens per session (7,983 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that collects concerns set aside during a unit of work, from places such as TODO markers, pull requests, reviews, plans, and issues. It proposes the collected items for editing and approval before filing them as GitHub issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for gathering deferred bugs or improvements, previewing them with dry-run mode, and filing the approved set on GitHub.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated requests to create one follow-up issue at a time and avoids filing concerns without confirmation.

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

create-deferred-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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 395 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Deferred Issues

Collect the concerns a unit of work set aside, propose them as one batch, and file the ones the user approves.

Why This Skill Exists

While working, an agent regularly names a concern and sets it aside: a formatter no CI job runs, a timeout far above real run lengths, a bug that belongs to another repository. Each one then waits for the user to say "file that", one round trip per concern, usually attached to the request to open the pull request. This skill gathers them in one pass and files the approved set in another.

Two rules shape everything below:

  • The proposal is never skipped. Filing without confirmation would turn every hedge in the session into an issue, which is worse than filing nothing.
  • Under-propose. A missed deferral costs the user one manual /use-git:create-issue. A wrong one costs triage, and erodes trust in every later batch.

Options

The user may provide these options inline:

  • --dry-run: Collect and propose, then stop. File nothing and post nothing.
  • --no-comment: File the approved issues, but skip the summary comment on the source pull request or issue.

Parent Continuation Contract

When another skill invokes create-deferred-issues, that parent skill may provide an explicit continuation block immediately after the command:

Parent continuation:
- Caller: <parent skill name>
- Resume target: <parent workflow step to resume>
- On completion: <what the parent does next when issues were filed, none were found, none were fileable, none were approved, or this was a dry run>
- On filing failure: <what the parent does next when any approved issue failed to file>

Honor this block as part of the invocation, with one exception: the proposal in step 4 still stops for the user. A continuation block governs what happens after the user answers, never whether they are asked.

Final output for a parent invocation must include:

Deferred issues: <filed|none found|none fileable|none approved|dry run|failure>
Filed: <none|full issue URL, title, destination visibility; ...>
Already tracked: <none|concern and tracking reference; ...>
Cannot file: <none|concern and reason; ...>
Summary comment: <none|URL>
Caller resume target: <target from continuation block>

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.
