draft-issue-to-external-repository

draft-issue-to-external-repository is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dyoshikawa/rulesync. It costs 79 tokens per session (1,772 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A helper for writing a GitHub issue about a proposed change in someone else’s repository. It researches that repository’s issue style and saves the finished draft for you to post manually.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare feature requests or other change proposals for third-party GitHub repositories, including the target repository, issue wording, scope, and tone.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork of matching the repository’s format and turning a vague idea into a clear proposal. It is intended for repositories you do not own.

About the project

Rulesync is a command-line tool that generates configuration for different AI development tools from a shared set of rules. Developers use it to keep instructions, commands, MCP settings, ignore files, subagents, and skills consistent across coding agents. Catalogue skills support workflows built around Rulesync.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 101
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
  • medium Data Exfiltration · line 52
    Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.

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

draft-issue-to-external-repository 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

arguments = the user's request

Parse arguments as:

  • target_repo: the target repository in owner/repo form (or a URL)
  • intent: the rough idea the user wants to propose (may be vague — this skill is designed to sharpen it)

If target_repo is not provided, ask the user which repository to file against. If intent is not provided, ask the user what they want to propose.

This skill is for proposing a change to a repository we do not own. When the target is a repo under the user's own owner, prefer create-issue or create-issue-with-websearch instead.

Step 1: Inspect the Target Repository

Before drafting anything, understand the target repo's conventions. Run in parallel:

  • gh repo view <owner/repo> --json description,url,defaultBranchRef,primaryLanguage,latestRelease
  • gh issue list --repo <owner/repo> --limit 20 --state all --json number,title,labels,state — read recent titles to learn the house style (prefix tags like [FEATURE], casing, length).
  • gh api repos/<owner/repo>/contents/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE — list templates. If a feature-request template exists, fetch it with gh api or a raw URL and note the required sections plus any auto-applied title prefix / labels.
  • gh label list --repo <owner/repo> — note which labels exist (do not invent labels later).
  • Optionally fetch CONTRIBUTING.md / CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md if present to catch any issue-filing rules.

If no issue template exists, plan to use a light structure (Problem / Proposal / Alternatives / Additional context) that mirrors common feature-request templates.

Step 2: Research the Topic

Ground the proposal in primary sources before writing anything opinionated.

  • Use WebSearch / WebFetch for official docs of the target project, release notes, and any pre-existing discussion (open/closed issues, PRs, RFCs).
  • Use the deepwiki MCP (mcp__deepwiki__ask_question, mcp__deepwiki__read_wiki_contents) against the target repo for structural questions — it is often faster and more definitive than grepping manually.
  • For deep or multi-angle investigation, delegate to a subagent (Agent with subagent_type: "general-purpose") with a self-contained prompt. Ask for a definitive answer, not a hedged summary.
  • Cross-check any claim the draft will rely on against at least one primary source. If two sources disagree, note the disagreement in the draft rather than silently picking a side.

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.
