issue-tracking

A rule set for handling software issues, bugs, tasks, features, and backlog items with Trekker, a persistent task tracker.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when someone mentions work that should be tracked: check Trekker's status, search for related items, and suggest a task before creating or modifying one.
Why use it?
It keeps tracked work organized and requires checking for duplicates and asking for permission before changing the task list.

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-tracking 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.

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.

Trigger Keywords

This skill applies when conversation includes:

  • issue, bug, defect, problem
  • task, ticket, work item, story
  • feature, enhancement, improvement
  • backlog, tracking, track this
  • todo, to-do, action item

Behavior

1. Check Trekker Status

# Verify trekker is initialized
ls .trekker/trekker.db 2>/dev/null && echo "initialized" || echo "not initialized"

If not initialized, suggest:

trekker init

2. Ask Permission (Required)

Before creating or modifying any issue, always ask:

"Would you like me to track this in Trekker? I can create a task with:

  • Title: [inferred title]
  • Priority: [suggested priority]
  • Description: [brief summary]"

Wait for explicit approval before proceeding.

3. Search Before Creating

Before creating a new issue, search for duplicates using single keywords (FTS5, not semantic):

# Use the most distinctive keyword from the issue
trekker search "<keyword>" --type task,subtask --limit 5
# Try a second keyword if first search has no results
trekker search "<related keyword>" --type task,subtask --limit 5

If similar issues exist, present them to the user:

"Found existing tasks that might be related: [list]. Should I link to these instead of creating new?"

4. Create or Update

If approved and no duplicates:

trekker task create -t "<title>" -d "<description>" -p <priority>

If updating existing:

trekker comment add <task-id> -a "claude" -c "<update>"

When to Suggest Trekker

DO suggest when user:

  • Describes a bug or issue to fix
  • Mentions a feature to implement
  • Lists multiple things to do
  • Asks to "remember" or "track" something
  • Discusses work that spans multiple sessions

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.
