issue-close-stage

issue-close-stage is a skill for Claude Code from nirecom/agents. It costs 44 tokens per session (822 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-merge procedure for closing a GitHub issue in two stages, with the first stage running in the worktree before its pull request is merged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check sub-issues, manage the pending and promoted completion marker, and update the parent issue before merging the pull request.
Why use it?
It separates checks that must happen before merging from final closure work and supports resumable steps. It also skips GitHub actions when the repository uses another hosting service.

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-close-stage 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/run-stage-chain.sh), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Triage routes to the correct subset of in-skill steps; each is idempotent and resumable.

Read rules/github-issues.md first — on-demand-only, never auto-injected; its "Session model" defines the per-session N relation. Read rules/coding.md before the first gh issue comment or body update — on-demand-only, never auto-injected; its Public GitHub Rules govern that outbound text.

Usage: /issue-close-stage <N> or /issue-close-stage --from-session

--from-session resolves <N> from the current session's intent.md the same way as /issue-close-finalize: parse ## Issues and iterate. (canonical parser: hooks/lib/parse-closes-issues.js — do not reimplement.)

Pre-flight

Run: bash "$AGENTS_MAIN_ROOT/bin/detect-non-github.sh" "issue-close-stage" || exit 0

On non-GitHub remote the script exits 1, so || exit 0 terminates the skill immediately (no gh work). On a GitHub remote (or unknown/fail-open) the script exits 0 and the skill continues into the checks below.

Skip message on non-GitHub remote (emitted by the script to stdout): [GITHUB_ISSUES disabled: non-GitHub remote detected, skipping issue-close-stage]

  • AGENTS_MAIN_ROOT must be set.
  • Must be invoked from a linked worktree (not the main worktree). Abort with an error when git rev-parse --git-dir equals git rev-parse --git-common-dir.
  • Resolve <owner/repo> via gh repo view --json owner,name --jq '.owner.login + "/" + .name'.
  • All gh issue comment invocations need ISSUE_CLOSE_SKILL=1 to bypass the enforce-issue-close.js hook.

Delegation

Dispatch in-skill steps A, B, D, F, G to the issue-close-stage worker per skills/_shared/worker-dispatch.md.

Payload keys: issue_number (= N), worktree_path (= git rev-parse --show-toplevel), owner_repo, script_checkout_root (= AGENTS_MAIN_ROOT), artifact_dir (= PLANS_DIR), issue_repo.

Omit issue_repo for current-repo issues; otherwise take it from the closes_issues entry's repo field.

Cross-repo Phase 1 is unsupported: an issue_repo naming any repo other than owner_repo is refused with error. Run /issue-close-stage from a worktree of that repository instead.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
