issue-flow: Skill for Claude Code

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

iflow-pause is a skill for Claude Code, Cursor from jepegit/issue-flow. It costs 37 tokens per session (934 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow skill for putting work on the current issue aside without marking it complete. It updates the issue status, moves its work group to a partly-solved folder, and can optionally make a WIP commit.

In plain words
What is it for?
It pauses an issue, records that it is partly solved, organizes its files, and optionally saves the current changes in a work-in-progress Git commit.
Why use it?
It preserves unfinished work in an identifiable state so it can be resumed later. It prevents paused work from being confused with a closed issue.

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-pause 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

issue-flow — issue pause (/iflow-pause)

Follow this skill to park work on the current issue without closing it. The issue is not done — this is not /iflow-close.

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

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.

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).

Instructions

  1. Find the focus issue. In .issueflows/01-current-issues/, identify the issue<N>_* group. If multiple groups exist and the focus is ambiguous, ask. If none exist, stop and say there is nothing to pause.

  2. Update issue<N>_status.md. Create or update it under .issueflows/01-current-issues/ with:

    • - [ ] Done (must remain unchecked — a pause is not a close).
    • Done so far — short bullets of what has landed or been tried.
    • Remaining work — explicit next steps so work can resume later.
    • Paused on — date, branch name, any blockers.

    Preserve earlier user-written content; only add or update these sections. If the user passed a short note after /iflow-pause, use it verbatim as the Remaining work text.

  3. Move the issue group. Move every issue<N>_* file from .issueflows/01-current-issues/ to .issueflows/02-partly-solved-issues/. Report each move.

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.
