gh-issues

gh-issues is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kilo-Org/kilocode. It costs 50 tokens per session (547 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of procedures for managing GitHub issues, which are tracked reports or requests in a software project, for the Kilo VS Code extension and JetBrains plugin. It covers issue templates, titles, project boards, and command-line access requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating bug reports, feature requests, and questions; assigning them to the correct GitHub project board; and adding comments through the GitHub command-line tool.
Why use it?
It helps issues reach the right category and project board without inconsistent titles or missing information.

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

gh-issues 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 4d 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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Issues

Use this skill whenever you create or manage a GitHub issue with gh for either the VS Code extension or the JetBrains plugin.

Templates

The repo defines issue templates in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/. Pick the matching template instead of opening a blank issue:

Template When to use
Bug report (bug-report.yml) Reproducible defects with steps, expected, and actual behavior
Feature Request (feature-request.yml) New capabilities, enhancements, or behavior changes
Question (question.yml) Usage or design questions that aren't obviously bugs or feature requests

Pass the template title to gh issue create --template.

Title Conventions

  • Use a plain, descriptive title that reads cleanly as a standalone sentence.
  • Do not add platform-specific prefixes such as [JetBrains], [Jetbrains], [JB], [VS Code], [VSCode], or similar. Routing happens through project boards, not the title.

Project Boards

Every new issue must land on the correct project board:

Surface Project URL
VS Code extension VS Code Extension https://github.com/orgs/Kilo-Org/projects/25
JetBrains plugin Jetbrains Plugin https://github.com/orgs/Kilo-Org/projects/39

Pass the project title to gh issue create --project.

Recipes

Create a VS Code extension bug report and add it to the board:

gh issue create \
  --template "Bug report" \
  --project "VS Code Extension" \
  --title "Sidebar chat fails to render after reload" \
  --body "..."

Create a JetBrains feature request:

gh issue create \
  --template "Feature Request" \
  --project "Jetbrains Plugin" \
  --title "Support Kotlin Multiplatform target detection" \
  --body "..."

Scope Errors

If gh reports a missing scope when assigning a project, refresh the auth token and retry:

gh auth refresh -s project

After the refresh succeeds, re-run the original gh issue create command. Do not fall back to creating the issue without the project — the board assignment is required.

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.
