github-issue-workflow

github-issue-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mdlopresti/mealie-mcp. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,418 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow skill for handling GitHub issues from start to finish. It selects an issue, creates a feature or bug-fix branch, implements and tests the change, then opens and merges a pull request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a specific issue number or without one to choose an open issue automatically. It is intended for repository changes that should end in a reviewed pull request.
Why use it?
It puts issue tracking, coding, testing, and review into one defined process. This helps avoid forgetting branches, tests, or links between a change and its issue.

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

github-issue-workflow scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 243 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Issue Workflow

Automates the complete development workflow for GitHub issues: select issue → feature branch → implement → test → PR → merge.

Usage

With specific issue:

/github-issue-workflow 21

Auto-select most impactful issue:

/github-issue-workflow

Workflow Steps

When this skill is invoked, execute the following workflow:

1. Select Issue

If issue number provided:

  • Fetch issue details: gh issue view <number> --json number,title,body,labels

If no issue number (auto-select):

  • List open issues: gh issue list --state open --json number,title,labels
  • Select most impactful based on:
    • Priority: Labels with "high" priority first
    • Type: "enhancement" over "bug" (unless critical bug)
    • Dependencies: Issues blocking other work
    • Effort: Quick wins (low effort, high impact) preferred

2. Create Feature Branch

Follow the git workflow pattern from CLAUDE.md:

# Determine branch prefix
# enhancement → feature/
# bug → fix/

git checkout main
git pull origin main
git checkout -b <prefix>/issue-<number>-<short-description>

Examples:

  • feature/issue-21-categories-crud
  • fix/issue-6-bulk-operations

3. Implement Fix

Read the issue body for implementation tasks and requirements.

Standard implementation pattern:

  1. Check OpenAPI spec if implementing new endpoints
  2. Add client methods to src/client.py
  3. Add tool functions to appropriate src/tools/*.py file
  4. Add MCP tool wrappers in src/server.py
  5. Write comprehensive tests in tests/test_tools_*.py
  6. Update CHANGELOG.md with changes

Follow existing patterns:

  • Look at similar existing implementations
  • Match error handling patterns
  • Use consistent naming conventions
  • Include docstrings with examples

4. Test Implementation

Run tests:

pytest tests/ -v

Type checking:

mypy src/

Fix any failures before proceeding.

5. Commit and Push

git add .
git commit -m "<type>: <description>

<details>

Fixes #<number>"

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.
