    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user 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

fix-github-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.

Fix GitHub Issue

When to Use

  • You have a GitHub Issue number and want to resolve it from scratch
  • Debugging a reported bug with a clear reproduction case
  • Picking up an issue from the backlog and implementing the fix
  • Fast-track for "good first issue" or well-scoped bug reports

Differentiation from github-issue-triage: This skill fixes issues (code changes, tests, PR). github-issue-triage is for organizing and classifying issues in bulk.

Prerequisites

  • GitHub MCP server available (built-in to Copilot CLI)
  • Write access to the repository for creating a branch and PR
  • gh CLI installed (for branch creation and PR fallback)

Workflow

1. Read the Issue

# Via Copilot MCP (structured data, no token needed):
# Tool: github-mcp-server-issue_read
#   method: "get"
#   owner: "my-org"
#   repo: "my-app"
#   issue_number: 123

# Also read any existing comments for additional context:
# Tool: github-mcp-server-issue_read
#   method: "get_comments"
#   owner: "my-org"
#   repo: "my-app"
#   issue_number: 123

Extract:

  • Expected behavior vs actual behavior
  • Reproduction steps
  • Stack trace or error message (if present)
  • Labels (bug/enhancement/docs)

2. Search for the Root Cause

# Search for the symbol, function, or error message mentioned in the issue
git --no-pager grep -n "functionNameFromIssue" -- "*.ts" "*.js"

# If it's an error message, search for where it's generated
git --no-pager grep -rn "the exact error string"

# Recent changes to the affected file
git --no-pager log --oneline -10 -- path/to/file.ts

3. Create a Dedicated Branch

$issueNumber = 123
$shortDesc = "fix-null-check-users-api"
git checkout -b "fix/issue-$issueNumber-$shortDesc"

4. Reproduce the Issue (Write a Failing Test First)

If the project has tests, write the test before fixing:

# Run existing tests to confirm baseline
npm test -- --testPathPattern="users"

# Write a failing test that demonstrates the bug
# (Edit the appropriate test file)

# Confirm test fails
npm test -- --testPathPattern="users" 2>&1 | Select-Object -Last 20

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.
