implementing-issues

An end-to-end workflow for implementing a GitHub issue, from understanding the request through creating a branch, pull request, code changes, and verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reading issue requirements, creating the required branch and draft pull request, splitting work into parallel tasks, executing those tasks, and committing each completed task.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to turn an issue into completed work while keeping progress visible and dividing large changes into manageable tasks.

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

implementing-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 today.

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.

Implementing Issues

Workflow

Copy this checklist and track progress:

Implementation Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Read issue and understand scope
- [ ] Step 2: Create branch and draft PR
- [ ] Step 3: Break down into tasks
- [ ] Step 4: Execute tasks (parallel where possible)
- [ ] Step 5: Verify and finalize

Step 1: Read Issue

gh issue view <number> --json title,body,labels,milestone

Extract from the issue body:

  • Scenarios — the acceptance criteria
  • Test Plan — test function names and files
  • Dependencies — blocked by / blocks

If the issue is blocked by open issues, stop and inform the user.

Step 2: Create Branch and Draft PR

Follow the branch/PR naming convention: <type>-<issue_number>-<short-description>

Type mapping: enhancementfeat, bugfix, chorechore

git checkout main && git pull origin main
git checkout -b <type>-<number>-<description>
git push -u origin <type>-<number>-<description>

Create a draft PR immediately so progress is visible:

gh pr create --draft \
  --title "<type>-<number>-<description>" \
  --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
Closes #<number>

## Summary
- <to be updated on completion>

## Test Plan
<copy Test Plan table from issue, add Status column set to pending>
EOF
)"

Step 3: Break Down into Tasks

Analyze the issue scenarios and create a task breakdown. Save to .claude/plans/<issue_number>/tasks.json.

mkdir -p .claude/plans/<issue_number>

See TASK-FORMAT.md for the JSON schema and decomposition rules.

Key rules:

  • Each task maps to one or more scenarios from the issue
  • Tasks that touch different files/modules can run in parallel
  • Tests are a separate task per module, but run after implementation tasks
  • Every task has a clear "done when" that maps back to a scenario

Step 4: Execute Tasks

Read .claude/plans/<issue_number>/tasks.json and identify which tasks can run in parallel (no shared files, no dependency between them).

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

implementing-issues is a skill published in the GitHub repository darkcofy/sqlprism (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 1,008 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-01.
