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_approve 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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to issue_approve — 16 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Approve Issue

Approve the current issue to transition it to the next status in the workflow.

Resolve Issue Number

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

  1. Check if the issue number is known from prior /issue_analyse or /issue_create in this conversation
  2. Read .vscodeclaude_status.txt and extract the issue number from the Issue #NNN line
  3. If still unknown, ask the user

Cross-Repo Issues

If a --repo owner/repo flag was given, append it to every gh command below, and fetch the issue with gh issue view <issue_number> --repo owner/repo via Bash — mcp__mcp-workspace__github_issue_view only reaches the current repository.

Instructions

  1. Fetch the issue to confirm it exists: Call mcp__mcp-workspace__github_issue_view with the issue number (or gh issue view for cross-repo).

  2. Validate that the issue is ready for approval:

    • Issue has been analyzed/discussed
    • Requirements are clear
    • No blocking questions remain

    If any check fails, stop and report — do not approve.

  3. Comment /approve on the issue (use MSYS_NO_PATHCONV to prevent Windows Git Bash path conversion):

MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 gh issue comment <issue_number> --body "/approve"

This triggers the GitHub Action to promote the issue status (e.g., status-01:createdstatus-02:awaiting-planning).

  1. Report the issue number and the approval result.

Note: This skill has disable-model-invocation — it can only be run by the user typing /issue_approve. If you need this skill as a follow-up, tell the user: "Please run /issue_approve to proceed."

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.
