issue_analyse

issue_analyse is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MarcusJellinghaus/mcp-tools-sql. It costs 11 tokens per session (609 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of issue_analyse, MIT.

A workflow that fetches a GitHub issue and examines its requirements, feasibility, and possible implementation approaches alongside the codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discuss whether a feature or change is practical, inspect relevant code, review existing decisions, and improve the issue description without writing code yet.
Why use it?
It helps uncover missing details and technical risks before coding, so the issue can be rewritten into a clearer implementation request.

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

issue_analyse 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 3d 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 — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Analyse GitHub Issue

Fetch a GitHub issue and analyze its requirements, feasibility, and potential implementation approaches.

Resolve Issue Number

The user may provide an issue number as the argument (available as $ARGUMENTS). If no issue number is provided:

  1. Read .vscodeclaude_status.txt and extract the issue number from the Issue #NNN line
  2. If the file doesn't exist or has no issue number, ask the user

Wait one second using mcp__mcp-tools-py__sleep with sleep_seconds: 1.

Fetch the issue: Call mcp__mcp-workspace__github_issue_view with the issue number.

Instructions

Analyze the issue:

Can we discuss this requirement / implementation idea and its feasibility? Please also look at the code base to understand the context (using the different tools with access to the project directory). Do not provide code yet!

At the end of our discussion, I want to have an even better issue description.

Decision-awareness: If the issue contains a ## Decisions section, read it carefully:

  • Do NOT re-ask topics that are already decided. Focus on aspects not yet covered.
  • If any existing decision seems risky or questionable given what you see in the code, briefly note the concern — but don't block on it.

Constraints identification: During the discussion, actively identify constraints and rationale — the "why" behind decisions, non-obvious gotchas, things that downstream steps (/create_plan, /implement) need to know. These will be captured in the issue via /issue_update.

Base Branch Handling: If the issue contains a ### Base Branch section:

  • Display the specified base branch prominently
  • Verify the branch exists using: call mcp__mcp-workspace__git with command "ls-remote" and args ["--heads", "origin", "<branch-name>"]
  • If the branch does NOT exist, show a clear warning: "⚠️ Warning: Base branch 'X' does not exist on remote. Branch creation will fail."
  • Continue with the analysis (non-blocking error)

Focus on:

  • Understanding the problem/feature request
  • Technical feasibility
  • Potential implementation approaches
  • Questions that need clarification
  • Impact on existing code

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.
