A workflow for handling a group of GitHub issues together. It sorts the issues, groups related work into small pull requests, creates a roadmap, and guides implementation using TDD, meaning tests are written before or alongside the code.

Use it to process issues by label, priority, milestone, or an explicit list, then plan and execute stacked pull requests in the specified repository.

It turns a large issue list into smaller, reviewable pieces of work. It also keeps triage, planning, testing, implementation, and delivery organized across several changes.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00076	$0.03182
Opus 5	$0.00038	$0.01591
Sonnet 5	$0.00015	$0.00636
Haiku 4.5	$0.00008	$0.00318

Security

Grade A, and why

issue-slate 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 5d 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.

Issue Slate Skill

Drive a labeled or explicitly supplied GitHub issue slate from triage through reviewable PRs.

This skill coordinates the Chamber ship skill. Use gh for all GitHub operations. Never use MCP. The default base branch is master, and the default repository is ianphil/chamber.

When to use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

Work through all issues with a label such as now, next, or later.
Turn a set of GitHub issues into an execution plan.
Create several PRs from an issue batch.
Run the Chamber loop of plan -> do -> ship repeatedly.
Generalize, replay, or continue a prior issue-slate workflow.

Do not use this skill for a single already-scoped PR. Use the ship skill directly for that.

Defaults

User: ianphil.
Repository: ianphil/chamber.
Base branch: master.
Labels are priority buckets: now, next, later.
Default slate label: ask if unclear; otherwise use the label named by the user.
Prefer Git Town stacks for slate execution. Independent PRs are the exception, not the default, when every PR needs release metadata.
Use gh for issue and PR operations.
Never use MCP.
Do not run npm run make:sandbox.
If packaging/runtime smoke is needed, use npm run package instead.
Run npm run lint and npm test for each PR through the ship skill.
Use the narrowest existing runtime smoke that proves the changed surface still runs.
Run Uncle Bob for non-trivial, runtime, architectural, or security-sensitive PRs, and fix critical findings.
Include Closes #NNN or Fixes #NNN for every issue intentionally addressed by a PR.
Let the ship skill recommend the version bump, then accept the recommendation unless the user gives a reason to override. For a stack, apply sequential version bumps down the stack so child PRs do not duplicate parent release metadata.
Draft and apply a matching CHANGELOG.md entry for every non-trivial PR.
Do not merge PRs unless the user explicitly asks. Creating reviewable PRs is the default end state.

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.
