solve-issue

solve-issue is a skill for Claude Code from kenmulford/milestone-driver. It costs 126 tokens per session (10,903 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A gated workflow for taking one GitHub issue from initial review through implementation, testing, code review, integration, and closure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to triage and solve a single issue, dispatch implementation work, run verification, integrate the change, and close the issue when appropriate.
Why use it?
It separates coordination from implementation and adds checkpoints for understanding the issue, checking the cause, verifying the fix, and reviewing the result.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; names the TodoWrite tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 B, and why

solve-issue scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 316 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

solve-issue - gated per-issue procedure

Run exactly one GitHub issue through a fixed, gated pipeline. The main thread acts only as an orchestrator: read, decide, dispatch, review, integrate. It never authors application or test code itself - the force-subagent hook enforces this mechanically. Orchestrate the superpowers:* skills for the inner loop. Before anything else, check #n's labels for md-epic: a parent issue takes ### Parent path (see skills/solve-issue/md-epic-fanout.md) instead of the pipeline below.

Before starting

Every ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/*.{sh,ps1} invocation in this skill selects its host the same way: pwsh on Windows, bash elsewhere.

  1. Read the profile (see the plugin's docs/profile-schema.md).

    Profile-resolution decision point Behavior
    Resolution order (transitional) Read <repo>/.milestone-config/driver.json first; if absent, fall back to the legacy root <repo>/milestone-driver.json.
    Both files exist .milestone-config/driver.json wins for the read.
    Migration (git mv) Deferred to step 3.5, so it rides the feature branch and does not trip the clean-tree precondition (step 2). Do not move here.
    Neither file exists, or integrationBranch / protectedBranch / sourceGlobs missing Invoke milestone-driver:setup to bootstrap it, then continue - do not fail.
    implementerAgent Defaults to milestone-driver:implementer when omitted.
    Optional keys - unitTestCmd, e2eTestCmd, e2eEnv, preflightCmd, domainSkills, nonNegotiables, projectDocs projectDocs defaults to .project/; every other step is skipped cleanly when absent. domainSkills is expanded first (`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/expand-domain-skills.<sh

What ships with it

11 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

solve-issue is a skill published in the GitHub repository kenmulford/milestone-driver (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 126 tokens to every session and 10,903 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
