Reporting Workable Items

Reporting Workable Items is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HelixDevelopment/code. It costs 121 tokens per session (1,568 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning a reported bug, defect, task, or feature request into a fully tracked work item in HelixCode. The item includes a type, queued status, stable ID, title, and plain-language details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Recording new bugs, internal tasks, and user-facing features. It helps capture what happened, why it matters, how to reproduce it, and what outcome is expected.
Why use it?
Acknowledging a report in prose can make the requirement disappear without anyone owning or tracking it. This workflow records the report as actionable work or clearly declines it.

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

Reporting Workable Items 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Reporting Workable Items (§11.4.202 · §11.4.148 · §11.4.171)

A report that is only acknowledged is a lost requirement. Answering "yes, that's a bug, I'll look into it" in prose — without creating a tracked item — is a §11.4.197 requirements-integrity violation: the requirement was accepted, then silently evaporated. Every report becomes a real, fully-populated, fully-synced workable item, or it is explicitly and honestly refused.

The three report directives

Directive Use when Resulting Type
/helix:bug (/default-bug) A product defect — regression, user-visible broken behaviour Bug
/task An internal workstream — refactor, doc, infra, gate, audit Task
/issue Anything trackable, type not yet decided classified into {Bug|Feature|Task}

Note: the bare /bug collides with Claude Code's built-in — always use /helix:bug or /default-bug (see the action-prefix-system skill).

Classification is a closed set (§11.4.16)

Bug · Feature · Task. There is no fourth type and no "Issue" type — /issue is an entry point, not a type. Inventing a type is a §11.4.16 violation.

  • Classify from the report's own content, stated as FACT (§11.4.6 — never a guess).
  • If the content does not determine the type, ASK (§11.4.66 / §11.4.105) before creating the item.
  • Only when running autonomously where asking is impossible (§11.4.101), default to the lowest-stakes Task, record the literal Classification: defaulted-to-Task (§11.4.16 ambiguity default — reclassify) in the description, and surface the reclassification command to the operator. Never silently assert a type the report does not support.

What a GOOD report contains

The item's description must be comprehensive and human-readable — a team member who was not in the room must understand it without reading code (§11.4.171). Structure it (§11.4.148 D2):

  1. WHAT — subject + problem/goal in one self-contained sentence. Never a bare fragment like "Composes with" or "Critical" (§11.4.91 forbids those).
  2. SCOPE / MANIFEST — the components, files, surfaces, or platforms touched.
  3. REPRODUCTION — for a Bug: the exact sequence that reproduces it. If a working reproduction already exists, use its exact sequence — a deviating repro that never reaches the precondition proves nothing (§11.4.199).
  4. ACCEPTANCE — the observable, machine-checkable condition that means done (the §11.4.108 runtime signature: what must be true on a clean deployment).
  5. EVIDENCE — captured artefact paths that back the report (§11.4.5 / §11.4.69): log, recording, sink-probe, crash trace, screenshot.

Reporting Workable Items is a skill published in the GitHub repository HelixDevelopment/code (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 121 tokens to every session and 1,568 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
