create-github-issue

A workflow for creating GitHub issues from plain-language descriptions using the GitHub command-line tool. It reads the repository’s issue forms and fills in the appropriate fields.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to file bugs, feature requests, tasks, or larger work items in a GitHub repository.
Why use it?
It avoids manually figuring out the repository’s templates, labels, projects, and required information.

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

create-github-issue 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 240 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create GitHub Issue

Create well-structured GitHub issues from plain-language descriptions using the gh CLI. Issues conform to the target repository's YAML form templates and are automatically assigned to the correct project board.

This skill is repo-agnostic — it reads template metadata (projects, labels, required fields) from the repo's .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ files at runtime rather than hardcoding them.

Prerequisites

The gh CLI must be authenticated (gh auth status). If not, prompt the user to run gh auth login.

Input

The user provides one or more of:

  • Description (required) — plain-language explanation of the bug, feature, task, or epic
  • Type override (optional) — explicitly request bug, feature, task, or epic
  • Repo override (optional) — owner/repo when not filing against the current working directory's repo
  • Labels (optional) — specific labels to apply
  • Milestone (optional) — target milestone
  • Assignees (optional) — GitHub usernames to assign

Workflow

Follow these steps in order. Do not skip any step.

Step 1: Determine the target repository

Detect the repo from the current working directory using gh repo view. If the user specified a repo explicitly, use that instead. Confirm the repo with the user before proceeding.

Step 2: Classify the issue type

Determine the type from context. If the user specified a type, use it. Otherwise, infer from keywords in the description:

Type Signal words
Bug bug, broken, crash, error, fail, regression, wrong, not working, unexpected
Feature add, support, introduce, new, would be nice, should, enhance, improve, enable
Task refactor, update, migrate, rename, clean up, chore, debt, remove, upgrade
Epic epic, initiative, multi-sprint, umbrella, group of features, high-level

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.
