Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00043 | $0.01780 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00890 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00356 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00178 |
Grade A, and why
set-up-the-issue-tracker 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 2d 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.
This is a copy
91% identical to setup-matt-pocock-skills — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 121 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Set up the issue tracker
Scaffold the per-repo configuration that the engineering skills assume:
- Issue tracker: where issues live (GitHub by default; local markdown is also supported out of the box)
- Triage labels: the strings used for the five canonical triage roles
- Domain docs: where
CONTEXT.mdand ADRs live, and the consumer rules for reading them
This is a prompt-driven skill, not a deterministic script. Explore, present what you found, confirm with the user, then write.
Process
1. Explore
Look at the current repo to understand its starting state. Read whatever exists; don't assume:
git remote -vand.git/config: is this a GitHub repo? Which one?AGENTS.mdandCLAUDE.mdat the repo root: does either exist? Is there already an## Agent skillssection in either?CONTEXT.mdandCONTEXT-MAP.mdat the repo rootdocs/adr/and anysrc/*/docs/adr/directoriesdocs/agents/: does this skill's prior output already exist?.scratch/: a sign that a local-markdown issue tracker convention is already in use- Is the
triageskill installed? (atriageskill folder alongside this one, ortriagein your available skills.) This decides whether Section B runs at all. - Monorepo signals: a
pnpm-workspace.yaml, aworkspacesfield inpackage.json, or a populatedpackages/*with its ownsrc/. These are present only in a genuinely large multi-package repo; their absence means single-context, which is almost every repo.
2. Present findings and ask
Summarise what's present and what's missing. Then take the sections in order. One section, one answer, then the next.
Lead each section with the recommended answer so the user can accept it in a word. Give a one-line explainer only when the choice genuinely branches; skip the section entirely when exploration already settled it (Section B when triage isn't installed, Section C when there's no monorepo).
Section A: Issue tracker.
Explainer: The "issue tracker" is where issues live for this repo. Skills like
to-tickets,triage, andto-specread from and write to it. They need to know whether to callgh issue create, write a markdown file under.scratch/, or follow some other workflow you describe. Pick the place you actually track work for this repo.
What ships with it
6 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.
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.

set-up-the-issue-tracker is a skill published in the GitHub repository everywan-dev/claude-code-engineering (2 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,780 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to setup-matt-pocock-skills, differing in 8 lines, and is treated as a copy.
