understand-scrap-issues

A procedure for reading the three newest open GitHub issues marked "maintainer-scrap," which is a label for informal notes from project maintainers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to catch up on recent maintainer notes and summarize their topics, background, and useful follow-up context.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the recent project context before it starts work, including issue discussions and related code changes when needed.

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

understand-scrap-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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Fetch the newest scrap issues (GitHub issues labeled maintainer-scrap) and understand what each one is about, so you can catch up on recently jotted-down notes before acting on them.

Step 1: Fetch the Latest Scrap Issues

List the most recent open issues that carry the maintainer-scrap label. gh issue list returns issues in creation order (newest first), so limiting to 3 yields the 3 newest:

gh issue list --label maintainer-scrap --state open --limit 3 --json number,title,url,createdAt

If the result is empty, report that there are no open scrap issues and stop.

Step 2: Gather Each Issue's Content

For each scrap issue returned, read both the body and the discussion. Run these in parallel across the issues where practical:

gh issue view <issue_number>
gh issue view <issue_number> --comments

If an issue references related pull requests, commits, or files that are needed to understand it, gather that context as well.

Step 3: Understand and Summarize

For each scrap issue, explain the following based on its content:

  1. Topic: A one-line summary of what the scrap note is about.
  2. Background: The context, motivation, or problem the note captures and why it matters.
  3. Details / Findings: The specific observations, problems, or content recorded in the note.
  4. Proposed Solution / Next Steps: Any solution or actionable next step mentioned. If none is recorded, state explicitly that it is still undecided.

Keep each summary concise and focused. Present the issues in the order returned (newest first), with the issue number, title, and URL as a heading for each.

Use the language of the current conversation (follow the user's language).

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.
