create-issues

A process for creating GitHub issues, which are shared records of bugs, requirements, and development tasks. TDD, or test-driven development, means defining tests or expected behavior as part of the change process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to file bugs, requirements, larger work items, or tasks linked to a pull request after checking the repository and existing issues.
Why use it?
It helps turn a request into a properly scoped, labeled issue that fits the repository's workflow.

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.

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

create-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 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.

Create GitHub Issues

Execute automated GitHub issue creation workflow for $ARGUMENTS following TDD principles and conventional commit standards.

Context

  • Current git status: !git status
  • Current branch: !git branch --show-current
  • Open issues: !gh issue list --state open --limit 10
  • GitHub authentication: !gh auth status

Requirements Summary

Follow TDD principles, conventional commits, and protected branch workflows. Use proper labels, auto-closing keywords, and atomic commits. See references/requirements.md for complete standards.

Phase 1: Repository Analysis

Goal: Assess repository state, detect templates, and determine issue scope and type.

Actions:

  1. Analyze current branch from context (main/develop vs PR branch)
  2. Review open issues to identify duplicates or related work
  3. Check for contributing guidelines (CONTRIBUTING.md) and follow its requirements
  4. Detect issue templates in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ directory
  5. If templates exist: select appropriate template using gh issue create --list
  6. Determine issue type (epic, PR-scoped, or review) based on $ARGUMENTS complexity
  7. Apply branch-based decision logic from references/decision-logic.md

See references/repository-templates.md for template detection and compliance details.

Phase 2: Issue Creation

Goal: Create GitHub issue with proper structure, labels, and links.

Actions:

  1. Create or verify required priority labels exist (see references/decision-logic.md for commands)
  2. Draft issue following structure requirements in references/issue-structure.md
  3. Apply appropriate labels (priority, type) using --label
    • Assign owners using --assignee
    • Link milestones using --milestone or projects using --project if requested
  4. Add auto-closing keywords if PR-scoped issue (NOT for epics)
    • CRITICAL: auto-closing keywords only fire when the PR merges into the repository's default branch. If the issue will be resolved by a PR targeting a non-default branch, warn the user that the issue will NOT close automatically and must be closed manually — see references/auto-closing-keywords.md for the full rule and keyword table.
  5. Link to related issues or epics if applicable

What ships with it

7 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.

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.

create-issues is a skill published in the GitHub repository FradSer/dotclaude (588 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 805 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
