issue-flow: Skill for Claude Code

.cursor/skills/iflow-history-update/SKILL.md

iflow-history-update is a skill for Claude Code, Cursor from jepegit/issue-flow. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,527 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow step that updates a project changelog, the file that records released and upcoming changes, when an issue is completed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add a completed issue under an Unreleased section or move it into a new release section after a version change.
Why use it?
It keeps release notes aligned with completed work without changing the changelog when the project has no suitable file or the user opts out.

Skill for Claude CodeCursor

Written for Claude Code and Cursor: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter, but also installed under .cursor/.

This is jepegit/issue-flow's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Cursor how to work on issue-flow itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything issue-flow configures →

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

iflow-history-update 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 — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

issue-flow — history update

Use this skill to update the project's changelog file (default HISTORY.md, overridable via ISSUEFLOW_HISTORY_FILE in .env) as part of /iflow-close. It never runs on its own schedule; it is driven by the "update HISTORY" step, and does not run when the user passed nohistory / skip history.

MODEL & EXECUTION DIRECTIVE

Profile: economy — Prioritize speed and token economy over deep reasoning.

In Cursor: use Auto or a fast model before invoking this step.

Keep scope tight to what this step requires.

Preconditions

  1. The changelog file (HISTORY.md) exists at the project root. If it does not, skip this step, print "no HISTORY.md — skipping changelog update" and continue the rest of /iflow-close. Never create the file from this skill.
  2. The file is in Keep a Changelog shape: a top-level ## [Unreleased] heading, with released versions below as ## [x.y.z] - YYYY-MM-DD headings. If the shape does not match, stop and report the mismatch instead of guessing — let the user fix the file or pass nohistory.

Inputs from /iflow-close

From Used for
Issue number N Reference suffix on the new bullet, e.g. (#42).
Issue title (from .issueflows/01-current-issues/issue<N>_original.md) Default bullet summary.
log "..." / note "..." input token Override the bullet summary verbatim.
Version-bump outcome (from step 2 of /iflow-close) Decides append vs promote (see below).

Operation modes

A. No version bump — append to [Unreleased]

  1. Read HISTORY.md. Locate the first ## [Unreleased] heading. The block ends at the next ## [ heading (or EOF).

  2. Compose the new bullet:

    - <summary>. (#<N>)
    

    Summary = log "..." override if provided, else the issue title with sentence case, trailing period trimmed before the . we add.

  3. Append the bullet to the end of the Unreleased bullet list. Preserve existing formatting (blank lines, list markers). Do not reorder existing entries.

  4. Write the change without a confirm prompt (confirm_changelog_update is false; same as the yolo token's history behaviour). Still report what was written.

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.
