known-issues

A tracker for known problems in Claude Code, the command-line coding assistant, including reported bugs, service health, model quality, and possible workarounds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check current Claude Code health, search for related bugs, and maintain a shared list of issues affecting your work.
Why use it?
It helps determine whether unexpected behavior is a known product issue before you spend time debugging your own project.

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

known-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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/check-all.sh, scripts/check-all.test.sh, scripts/registry_manager.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Purpose

Claude Code ships frequently. Features that worked last week may have new bugs today. This skill serves three purposes:

  1. Quick health check. Snapshot of registry health and model quality (no args needed)
  2. Proactive search. Find known bugs BEFORE you build on top of a feature
  3. Issue registry. Maintain single source of truth for the Claude product GitHub issues you track, record what they block, and create follow-up work items when bugs are fixed

Data Files

The issue registry (registry.json) persists in the registry directory. By default this is the plugin's per-machine data directory (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}, survives plugin updates). A consumer can instead keep the registry inside their repository, git-tracked and team-shared, by setting the registry_dir plugin option (personal user configuration).

Registry location. Apply to EVERY registry_manager.py invocation: the configured value is ${user_config.registry_dir}; the project root is ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}.

  • If ${user_config.registry_dir} is a non-empty path → first require a contained project-relative value. Reject POSIX/rooted paths, Windows drive-qualified or drive-relative paths, UNC paths, any .. segment with either separator, and any existing symlink path that resolves outside ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}. If invalid, stop the registry action, report the configuration problem visibly, and direct /claude-ops:setup; do not join, normalize, create, or use the destination. If valid, pass --data-dir "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/${user_config.registry_dir}".
  • If it is empty or still shows an unexpanded ${user_config.registry_dir} token (option unset) → OMIT --data-dir; the script falls back to ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}.
File Purpose Who edits
<registry-dir>/registry.json All tracked Claude product GitHub issues with status, category, affected files, and what's blocked Skill (on search/scan --add/check-all), via scripts/registry_manager.py. See the registry-location rule above

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.

known-issues is a skill published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (12 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 1,641 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
