issue-now

issue-now is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-claude-plugin. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,065 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A focused tool for comparing one closed or stale issue in a project tracker with the current state of the work. A project tracker is a system used to record tasks, bugs, and their status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a person identifies one issue to verify and approves closing, reopening, or updating that exact issue.
Why use it?
It helps correct one issue when its status no longer matches reality, without accidentally changing other issues or project data.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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-now 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.

Issue now

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger A human explicitly asks to compare one closed or stale tracker issue with current reality and mark it done or update it.
Authority Remote: closes, reopens, or updates one tracker issue; requires explicit human invocation. Inspect and propose freely; the invoking human's explicit approval of the exact target and consequence precedes any remote mutation.
Side effect Close, reopen, or update only the single identified tracker issue; do not mutate other issues, pull requests, project fields, milestones, or repository content.
Done After approval and mutation, a fresh tracker read confirms that the issue state and approved content match current reality.

Inputs

  • Required: one unambiguous tracker issue reference containing the tracker or repository and issue identifier.
  • Required before mutation: explicit human approval of the proposed target, exact field or state changes, and their consequence.
  • Optional: the human's claim about what is stale or complete, desired wording, and links to relevant current evidence.
  • Tracker access sufficient to read the issue is required for comparison; mutation credentials are needed only after approval. Never request credentials in chat or expose credential values.

Procedure

  1. Resolve the supplied reference to exactly one issue. Stop if it is missing, ambiguous, inaccessible, or resolves to a pull request or another tracker object. Done when: one issue is resolved and confirmed not a pull request or other object.
  2. Read the issue's current title, body, state, labels, recent discussion, and completion criteria that are available without changing remote state. Done when: the issue's current state and content are captured.
  3. Inspect current, directly relevant evidence available from the tracker and referenced project material. Separate observed facts from human claims, and stop rather than infer completion or invent evidence when the comparison cannot be supported. Done when: observed facts and human claims are separated and evidence is gathered or the gap is reported.
  4. Compare each material issue claim or completion criterion with that evidence. Classify the issue as complete, still valid as written, stale but actionable, or indeterminate. Done when: the issue has one classification.
  5. Derive the semantic-minimum reconciliation for that one issue: close it when the recorded work is demonstrably complete; reopen it when a closed issue remains actionable; otherwise update only the stale fields or text needed to reflect current reality. Preserve accurate history and content. Done when: one reconciliation action is derived that changes the minimum needed.
  6. Present a pre-mutation preview naming the issue, its current state, the evidence used, the exact proposed changes, and the consequence. Ask for explicit approval of that preview. Treat silence, general encouragement, or approval of a different proposal as no approval. Done when: the user explicitly approves the exact preview, or the skill stops for lack of approval.
  7. If the human changes the proposal, repeat the comparison and preview. Do not widen the operation beyond the identified issue. Done when: the revised preview is approved or the skill stops.
  8. After explicit approval, perform only the approved remote mutation on that issue. Do not add unapproved comments, labels, assignments, milestones, or related-item changes. Done when: the approved mutation is performed and the tracker acknowledges it.
  9. Read the issue again from the tracker and compare its resulting state and content with the approved preview. Report success only when this fresh read confirms the match. Done when: the fresh read confirms the issue state and content match the approved preview.

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.
