mcp-workspace: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/issue_approve/SKILL.md

issue_approve is a skill for Claude Code from MarcusJellinghaus/mcp-workspace. It costs 8 tokens per session (915 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow command that approves an issue so it can move to the next status. An issue is a tracked piece of work or problem in a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to approve a known issue, determine its issue number from project context, and transition it through the configured workflow.
Why use it?
It avoids manually navigating the issue system and checks which issue and repository should be updated.

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 7d 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.

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, first check whether that repo is a configured reference project — match owner/repo against the url of each entry get_reference_projects() returns. If it is, use the MCP tools with that entry's name as reference_name: mcp__mcp-workspace__github_issue_view and mcp__mcp-workspace__github_issue_comment both reach it. Only when the repo is not a configured reference project, fall back to the gh commands below, appending --repo owner/repo to each.

Instructions

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

    Note its current status label — step 5 compares against it.

  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:

mcp__mcp-workspace__github_issue_comment(number=<issue_number>, body="/approve")

For a cross-repo issue (--repo owner/repo) that is a configured reference project, pass its reference_name:

mcp__mcp-workspace__github_issue_comment(number=<issue_number>, body="/approve", reference_name=<name>)

For any other repo, use Bash instead — the MCP tool only reaches the workspace repository and its configured reference projects. MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 prevents Windows Git Bash from rewriting the leading / and is needed only for this Bash form:

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.
