issue-readiness-review

issue-readiness-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hon454/grimoire. It costs 21 tokens per session (3,530 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of whether a tracker issue contains enough information to begin implementation, based on the evidence available within scope.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps decide whether an issue is ready, not ready, awaiting a human decision, or blocked by inaccessible information, then drafts the appropriate issue or tracker comment.
Why use it?
It exposes unresolved questions before development starts and avoids changing the tracker when the evidence is insufficient or a human decision is 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

issue-readiness-review 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 9d 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 — 396 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Issue Readiness Review

Review a tracker issue like a launch readiness check: ground the work item in available evidence, close every question that can be closed inside the boundary, and produce the tracker-ready update the evidence supports. Stop after the drafts.

Use only when explicitly invoked as $issue-readiness-review or "use the issue-readiness-review skill".

Goal

Without mutating the tracker, decide whether the target is ready to become an implementation issue. For Ready targets, resolve every open question that can be resolved from in-boundary evidence, then produce a paste-ready new issue body draft and a paste-ready change summary comment draft.

For Not ready, Needs human decision, or Access blocked targets, do not produce a new issue body draft. Produce a paste-ready tracker comment draft that explains the readiness finding, checked evidence, and smallest next decision/source needed.

For Ready targets, the goal is zero resolvable open questions, not zero open questions. Leave questions that require human judgment, inaccessible sources, or out-of-scope research in the final draft with their reason.

Output Locale

Resolve the final-output locale before inspecting sources. Prefer output values from the Grimoire session config cache created by the Grimoire SessionStart hook. Treat the cache file, not hook stdout, as the session config source of truth. Hook stdout may help locate the cache path, but it is only diagnostic.

When the cache is available, use output.locale from the cached session config and include output.locale_source in the locale notice. If no Grimoire session config cache is available, continue by directly observing the host OS preferred locale with deterministic local signals and note the missing session config only if it changes confidence.

If the user explicitly requests a final-output locale with a valid locale tag, pass it as an explicit override to the Grimoire config resolver when available. The resolver does not interpret natural-language locale requests. If no valid locale tag is provided, use Grimoire session config or OS preferred locale detection. This is the only override. Do not infer the final-output locale from conversation prose, tracker text, this skill file, repository prose, tool output, copied templates, or quoted artifacts.

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.
