A workflow for finding, viewing, listing, and updating existing GitHub issues, including issues that track CVEs. A CVE is a public identifier for a known software security vulnerability.

Use it to search for vulnerability issues, inspect their details and status, or connect fixes to existing GitHub issues.

It helps developers locate related work and avoid losing security fixes among duplicate or disconnected issues.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00060	$0.02146
Opus 5.5	$0.00024	$0.00858
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00012	$0.00429
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00215

Security

Grade A, and why

ark-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 2mo 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.
