mcp-workspace: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/issue_analyse/SKILL.md

issue_analyse is a skill for Claude Code from MarcusJellinghaus/mcp-workspace. It costs 11 tokens per session (611 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for fetching and examining GitHub issues before discussing how to implement them. It checks linked issues and the codebase, then analyses requirements, feasibility, and possible approaches without writing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a numbered GitHub issue, follow related issues or design documents, inspect the project context, and discuss implementation options. If no issue number is supplied, it looks for one in a status file or asks for it.
Why use it?
It helps uncover missing context, dependencies, and decisions before an issue is treated as ready for implementation. This can lead to a clearer and more complete issue description.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

This is MarcusJellinghaus/mcp-workspace's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-workspace itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp-workspace configures →

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 8d 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 — 61 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 seconds: 1

Fetch the issue using mcp__mcp-workspace__github_issue_view.

Read linked issues first. If the issue points to an epic, design doc, dependencies, or sibling issues, read those before analysing — it may not be self-contained, and any "read first" note is mandatory.

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)

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.

issue_analyse is a skill published in the GitHub repository MarcusJellinghaus/mcp-workspace (50 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 611 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
