issue-flow: Skill for Claude Code

.cursor/skills/iflow-issue/SKILL.md

iflow-issue is a skill for Claude Code, Cursor from jepegit/issue-flow. It costs 61 tokens per session (770 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow step that drafts and creates one well-defined GitHub issue, GitHub’s unit of tracked work, with an optional branch and setup process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a normal issue, create an epic starting point for larger work, and optionally prepare its branch and local issue record.
Why use it?
It turns a rough request into one focused, actionable piece of work instead of an unclear or oversized task.

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-issue 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 8d 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 — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

issue-flow — issues (/iflow-issue)

Create or reshape GitHub issues. Every mode shows what it will create or change and asks before writing to GitHub.

Invoke: type iflow issue in chat, or /iflow-issue from the slash menu (iflow-issue also works).

MODEL & EXECUTION DIRECTIVE

Profile: reasoning — Prioritize deep thinking and careful trade-offs over speed or token economy.

In Cursor: switch to a thinking-capable model before invoking this step (not Auto-only).

Keep scope tight to what this step requires.

Resolve the project root first

Before any git, gh, or .issueflows/ operation, settle <project_root> and <owner/repo>, stopping at the first unambiguous answer: explicit root:<path> / repo:<name> hints; issue-flow agent resolve [--json]; the one workspace repo on a ^\d+- branch; the one .issueflows/ scaffold in view; the issueflow-workspace.toml default (say you used it). Still ambiguous → stop and ask. Then use git -C <project_root> (or issue-flow agent … -C <project_root>) and pass --repo <owner/repo> to every gh call (gh repo view takes the repo positionally).

Pick the mode

The first word after issue selects the mode. Read only that mode's file in this skill folder and follow it. Forward the remaining text verbatim.

Input Mode file What it does
free text, or nothing new.md Draft and create one well-specified issue (context / spec / acceptance criteria), then optionally branch and capture it.
fix [<N>] fix.md Interactive iterative-fixes session: one issue + long-lived branch, many small confirmed fixes, ends with /iflow-close.
epic <N> / epic <N> publish [stage <k>] / epic start [N] / epic stop epic.md Plan a change too large for one issue as staged sub-issues; publish a stage; start or stop a one-and-ask epic session.
epic <free text> new.md (epic-anchor mode) Create the epic anchor issue first, then offer epic <N>.
split <N> split.md Cut one over-large existing issue into 2–5 flat GitHub sub-issues.
review review.md Review open issues and apply labels (v1: the yolo label).

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.
