to-issues

to-issues is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-codex-plugin. It costs 67 tokens per session (782 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for turning a plan, product requirements document, or technical specification into small implementation tickets. Each ticket covers a complete vertical slice, such as the data, service, API, interface, and tests needed for one demonstrable change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create markdown issue files or, with the relevant option, create GitHub issues for planned features and implementation work.
Why use it?
It avoids splitting work into isolated layers that cannot be tested or used on their own. The resulting tasks can be picked up independently and, where appropriate, worked on in parallel.

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

to-issues 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 4d 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 — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Break a plan into tracer-bullet vertical slices. Each slice cuts end-to-end through every layer (schema, API, UI, tests) and is independently demoable. Reject horizontal layer-slices — they create blocked queues.

Emission Modes [LOCKED]

Default (file mode): Write to <project-root>/docs/issues/<feature>-slices.md as a numbered list of slices with the issue template per entry. Rerun-idempotent.

Flag mode (--emit-issue): After approval, create issues via gh issue create in dependency order so blocker references resolve to real numbers. Print URLs.

Process

1. Gather context

Read the source plan or PRD. If user passes a GitHub issue: gh issue view <number> --comments. If a plan file path: bat -P -p -n <path>. Otherwise work from active conversation.

2. Explore (if not already primed)

If the codebase is unfamiliar, dispatch an Explore agent. Trace integration layers: schema → service → API → UI → tests.

3. Draft vertical slices

Each slice MUST:

  • Cut through every relevant layer
  • Be demoable or verifiable on its own
  • Be either AFK (no human needed) or HITL (decision/review required) — prefer AFK
  • Be small enough that one engineer ships it in <2 days

Reject any slice that is "schema only" or "wire up later" — those are queue-blockers.

4. Quiz the user

Present the slate via a clarifying-question protocol. Show per slice: title, AFK/HITL, blocked-by references, user-stories covered. Ask: granularity correct? dependency edges correct? merge/split needed? AFK/HITL labels honest?

5. Emit

File mode: Write the approved slice list to docs/issues/<feature>-slices.md. Reference blockers by slice index. Commit.

Flag mode: gh issue create per slice in topological order. Capture each new issue number; backfill Blocked by with real numbers.

Issue Template

## Parent
#<parent-issue-number-or-PRD-path-or-omit>

## What to build
Concise end-to-end behavior description. Demoable outcome, not layer-by-layer mechanics.

## Acceptance criteria
- [ ] Observable criterion 1
- [ ] Observable criterion 2

## Blocked by
- #<issue-or-slice-number>   (or "None — start immediately")

## User stories covered
- US-1, US-3

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.

to-issues is a skill published in the GitHub repository OutlineDriven/odin-codex-plugin (15 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 782 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 2026-08-30.
