recommend

A read-only assistant that recommends open GitHub issues to work on next. It compares issues with repository activity, severity, and project trends, then explains how it scored the recommendations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to get three prioritized issue recommendations, limited to issues available to you and spread across different categories.
Why use it?
It helps choose work using project evidence instead of relying only on issue order or intuition.

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

recommend 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 yesterday.

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 — 192 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Recommend

Analyzes open issues against codebase activity, severity, and external project trends, then recommends the 3 most impactful issues to work on next.

Critical Rules

  • Read-only — never create, modify, or close issues
  • Read cross-cutting behaviors first: skills/shared/references/cross-cutting.md
  • Always show scoring transparency — every recommendation includes the score breakdown
  • Diversify categories — top 3 must come from at least 2 categories
  • Exclude issues assigned to others — only recommend unassigned issues or issues assigned to the current user
  • Cross-reference develop skill — after presenting recommendations, offer to start work via the develop skill

Prerequisites Check

gh auth status

If this fails, tell the user to run gh auth login first.

Workflow

Phase 1: Gather Context

Collect baseline information about the current user and repository.

# Current user
gh api user --jq '.login'

# Repo metadata
gh repo view --json nameWithOwner,description,defaultBranchRef

# Issues already assigned to me
gh issue list --assignee @me --state open --json number,title,labels,updatedAt --limit 50

# Local branches (to detect in-progress work)
git branch --list | head -30

If the user already has 3+ assigned issues, note this and suggest they may want to finish existing work first (but still proceed with recommendations if asked).

Phase 2: Scan Open Issues

Gather the full set of open issues to score.

# All open issues (capped at 100)
gh issue list --state open --json number,title,labels,assignees,createdAt,updatedAt,comments,author --limit 100

# Targeted queries for high-signal subsets
gh issue list --state open --label "bug" --json number,title,labels,updatedAt --limit 30
gh issue list --state open --search "no:label" --json number,title,createdAt --limit 20
gh issue list --state open --search "no:assignee" --json number,title,labels,createdAt --limit 30

If the repo has 0 open issues, tell the user and suggest the create skill.

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.

recommend is a skill published in the GitHub repository ondrasek/cc-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 1,896 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
