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-issue 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 15d 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 — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Issue

Create GitHub issues cleanly by writing the body to a tmpfile and passing it via --body-file.

Why This Skill Exists

When creating GitHub issues, passing a large multiline --body string directly to gh issue create in a Bash command triggers Claude Code permission prompts because the command appears complex. This skill avoids that by using the Write tool to create a temporary file containing the issue body, then passing a short, simple gh issue create --body-file command to Bash.

Workflow

1. Gather Issue Details

Determine the issue title, body, labels, and assignees from the user's request. If the user's request is vague, ask clarifying questions. At minimum, you need:

  • Title: A concise summary of the issue
  • Body: A detailed description (can be multiple paragraphs, include code blocks, checklists, etc.)

Optional fields:

  • Labels: Relevant labels (e.g., bug, enhancement, documentation)
  • Assignees: GitHub usernames to assign
  • Milestone: A milestone to associate with the issue
  • Project: A GitHub project to add the issue to

2. Confirm the Repository

If the user specifies a repository (e.g., "file an issue on org/repo"), use the --repo flag. Otherwise, the issue will be created in the current repository.

3. Write the Issue Body to a Tmpfile

Follow the tmpfile procedure for non-secret GitHub bodies. Resolve its path relative to this SKILL.md file's directory. Create a unique path and write the full issue body there. Wait for the write to finish before calling gh. TMPFILE below means that exact path.

4. Create the Issue

Run a single, short gh issue create command using the tmpfile path from step 3:

gh issue create --title "Issue title here" --body-file TMPFILE

Add optional flags as needed:

gh issue create --title "Issue title here" --body-file TMPFILE --label "bug" --label "enhancement" --assignee "@me"
