github-issues

A skill for managing GitHub issues from the command line. It covers reading issues, handling sub-issues, and changing issue checkboxes safely.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps read issue details, rename the terminal tab for the issue, and update checkboxes through a fetch-edit-push operation.
Why use it?
It provides defined rules for working with shared issue data and helps avoid conflicting edits when several coding agents work at once.

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

github-issues scanned grade A 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 yesterday.

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.

GitHub Issues Management Skill

Управление GitHub issues через gh CLI с поддержкой sub-issues и атомарных операций над checkboxes.

КРИТИЧЕСКИЕ ПРАВИЛА

1. ВСЕГДА использовать gh, НИКОГДА WebFetch

# ПРАВИЛЬНО
gh issue view 123 -R owner/repo

# НЕПРАВИЛЬНО - НЕ ДЕЛАЙ ТАК!
# WebFetch для github.com/.../issues/...

2. Переименование вкладки zellij при начале работы с issue

Когда пользователь начинает работу с issue (читает issue, изучает задачу, обсуждает реализацию), переименуй вкладку zellij:

zellij-rename-tab-to-issue-number <ISSUE_NUMBER>

Скрипт безопасен: если мы не внутри zellij -- ничего не произойдёт.

Когда вызывать:

  • Пользователь просит прочитать/показать issue
  • Пользователь начинает обсуждать задачу из issue
  • Первое обращение к issue в сессии

Когда НЕ вызывать:

  • Отметка checkbox (мелкая операция)
  • Закрытие/открытие issue
  • Работа с labels

3. Атомарные операции с checkboxes (без кеша!)

ВАЖНО: При отметке checkbox ВСЕГДА выполняй атомарную операцию fetch→modify→push в ОДНОЙ команде. Это предотвращает конфликты при параллельной работе нескольких агентов.

# Атомарная отметка checkbox (fetch → modify → push) — ОДНОЙ СТРОКОЙ!
gh issue view 123 -R owner/repo --json body -q .body | sed 's/- \[ \] Точный текст пункта/- [x] Точный текст пункта/' | gh issue edit 123 -R owner/repo --body-file -

ВАЖНО: Команда должна быть в ОДНУ строку без \ переносов — иначе ошибка в zsh.

НИКОГДА не кешируй body issue! Всегда скачивай заново перед изменением.

4. Сначала отметить — потом продолжать

После выполнения любого пункта/этапа/шага:

  1. СНАЧАЛА отметить как выполненный в issue
  2. ПОТОМ переходить к следующему

Проверка зависимостей

При первом использовании проверь установленные расширения:

gh extension list

Если расширения отсутствуют — предложи установить:

# Для работы с sub-issues
gh extension install yahsan2/gh-sub-issue

# Для расширенного project management (опционально)
gh extension install rubrical-studios/gh-pmu

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.

github-issues is a skill published in the GitHub repository dapi/claude-code-marketplace (16 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 306 tokens to every session and 2,614 once invoked, about $0.0015 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
