resolve-issues

A guided workflow for fixing GitHub issues in a separate work area, using test-driven development (writing a failing test before the fix). It then sends the changes through pull-request creation and review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select and fix an open GitHub issue, create tests and commits, and prepare the resulting changes for pull-request review.
Why use it?
It keeps unfinished work away from your main branch and provides a repeatable path from an issue to a checked pull request.

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

resolve-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.

Resolve GitHub Issues

Execute issue resolution workflow using isolated worktrees, TDD methodology, and agent collaboration.

Context

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

Requirements Summary

Use isolated worktrees to avoid disrupting main development. Follow TDD cycle (red → green → refactor) with agent support. Reference issues in commits using auto-closing keywords. See references/requirements.md for protected PR workflow and commit standards.

Phase 1: Issue Selection and Worktree Setup

Goal: Select target issue and prepare isolated development environment.

Actions:

  1. Review open issues from context and select based on priority and $ARGUMENTS
  2. Check existing worktrees to determine if reuse is possible
  3. Use the EnterWorktree tool with a descriptive name (e.g., fix-456-auth-redirect) to create an isolated session
  4. Rename the auto-generated branch to match conventions: run git branch -m <type>/<issue>-<description> (see references/workflow-details.md for naming)
  5. Verify issue acceptance criteria and dependencies

Phase 2: TDD Implementation

Goal: Implement fix using test-driven development with agent collaboration.

Actions:

  1. Plan implementation approach and assess architectural impact
  2. Write failing tests that verify issue is resolved (RED phase)
  3. Implement minimal code to make tests pass (GREEN phase)
  4. Refactor while keeping tests green (REFACTOR phase)
  5. Run quality validation commands to keep the TDD cycle honest (see references/workflow-details.md for project-specific checks). /github:create-pr re-runs the full gate in Phase 3 and is the authoritative pre-PR check.

Phase 3: PR Creation and Cleanup

Goal: Hand PR creation to /github:create-pr so the quality gate and the review loop run. Cleanup happens only after the merge, which may be many turns later.

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.

resolve-issues is a skill published in the GitHub repository FradSer/dotclaude (588 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,322 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.
