iflow-pause

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.

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 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 — 81 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 project root (multi-root workspaces)

Before any git, gh, or .issueflows/ path operation in this workflow:

Resolution order (stop when unambiguous):

  1. Explicit hints in slash input — root:<path>, repo:<folder-basename> (directory name, e.g. cellpy-core), or repo:owner/name.
  2. CLI fast pathissue-flow agent resolve [-C <start>] [--from-file <active-file>] [--json]. Use the returned project_root and repo; pass -C <project_root> to other issue-flow agent … subcommands. When the answer came from the workspace registry, the payload sets resolved_via_workspace_default: true.
  3. Branch context — exactly one workspace repo whose branch matches ^\d+- → that root.
  4. Single scaffold — exactly one .issueflows/ tree visible in the workspace → that root.
  5. Workspace default — an issueflow-workspace.toml at the workspace root (created with issue-flow workspace init) may name a default member repo; use it when no scaffold matched above. Tell the user the default was used.
  6. Ambiguousstop and ask; never guess between sibling repos.

After resolution, treat the result as <project_root> and <owner/repo>:

  • Git: git -C <project_root> … (or issue-flow agent … -C <project_root> for supported ops).
  • GitHub: pass an explicit repo on every gh call — never rely on gh's implicit cwd default. For most commands use --repo <owner/repo>; exception: gh repo view takes the repo as a positional arg (gh repo view <owner/repo> …) and rejects --repo.
  • Paths: all .issueflows/… paths are under <project_root>.

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.

iflow-pause is a skill published in the GitHub repository jepegit/issue-flow (4 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,202 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
