.claude/skills/file-issue/SKILL.md

file-issue is a skill for Claude Code from dburkart/auto-engineer. It costs 61 tokens per session (988 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A workflow for filing a new GitHub issue in the auto-engineer repository with priority and classification labels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record one new unit of work, such as a bug or enhancement, with the required priority and area labels.
Why use it?
It keeps newly discovered work organized and triaged when it comes from follow-ups, TODOs, or manual requests.

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

file-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 1mo 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 — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

file-issue

Files a single GitHub issue against dburkart/auto-engineer with priority and classification labels applied on creation. Keeps the backlog triaged in one step instead of leaving un-labeled issues that pollute the auto-engineer candidate set.

Read docs/agent-playbooks/prioritization.md before running — the label taxonomy, priority rules, and triage policy all live there. This skill is the mechanical front-end for that policy.

Label taxonomy

Priority labels: priority:P0 (critical — blocks core functionality), priority:P1 (high — required for next milestone), priority:P2 (medium — polish and hardening), priority:P3 (low — nice-to-have or future work). Type labels: bug (something isn't working), enhancement (new feature or improvement). Every issue must have exactly one priority:* label and at least one type/area label.

When to invoke

  • A merged PR surfaced out-of-scope follow-up work that needs its own issue (auto-engineer step 8, or a human reviewer deferring a nit).
  • A TODO/FIXME was introduced that deserves tracking.
  • The user says "file an issue for …" or invokes /file-issue directly.

Do not use this skill to edit an existing issue — use mcp__github__update_issue for that.

Inputs

Either accept them as free-form arguments after /file-issue, or infer from the invoking context:

  • title — imperative phrase, ≤ 72 chars, no emoji.
  • motivation — 1–3 sentences on why this matters and what it unblocks.
  • work — bulleted sub-tasks, concrete enough to act on cold in a week (file paths, type names, function signatures when known).
  • context — relevant commit SHAs, file paths, existing issue numbers, or the PR that surfaced the follow-up.

If any of those are missing and cannot be reasonably inferred, skip the issue silently — do not ask the user. This skill may be called from auto-engineer or other agents where user interaction is not available; asking would block the loop.

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.
