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-create 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/eval-confirm-gate.sh, scripts/make-empty-verdict.sh, scripts/run-bulk-dispatch.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 — 198 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

The sanctioned path for creating task issues (type:task) from a Claude Code session. Surveys existing issues first, classifies the relationship semantically, then dispatches to a wrapper that handles reopen / sub-issue attach / new-parent reclassification / sibling cross-reference / plain creation. The dispatcher delegates new-issue creation to bin/github-issues/issue-create.sh.

Scope

  • In scope: task issues (type:task) for the current repository.
  • Out of scope: incident issues (use the web UI incident template or a --label "type:incident" invocation of your own); issues for other repos or projects, which take the cross-repo path below.
  • Cross-repo work: confirm the ownership of the target repository before filing the issue — an issue lands publicly in whichever repo gh resolves, and that resolution follows the working directory when no target is named.

Required reading: Read rules/github-issues.md before Pre-flight — it is on-demand-only and never auto-injected. Read rules/coding.md before writing any issue title or body — on-demand-only, never auto-injected; its Public GitHub Rules govern this outbound write.

Phase 0b — Project preflight

Runs before Pre-flight. Detects a missing Projects v2 board and offers to run /issue-setup. Independent of Phase 0a (label auto-repair in issue-create.sh) — one's result never affects the other.

  • Skip Phase 0b and proceed to Pre-flight when bin/is-github-dotcom-remote returns non-zero (non-GitHub remote).
  • Run bash "$AGENTS_MAIN_ROOT/bin/github-issues/issue-create-preflight.sh" --check-project (add --repo OWNER/REPO when targeting another repo).
  • On rc=1 (no board), AskUserQuestion:
    • run-issue-setup: run /issue-setup against the target repo, then re-check Phase 0b.
    • skip-this-time: proceed to Pre-flight; the attach step remains warn-only.
  • skip-this-time is NOT persisted — Phase 0b re-checks on every issue-create run (no suppression state file).

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.
