prepare-issue-context

prepare-issue-context is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pekral/cursor-rules. It costs 81 tokens per session (3,336 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A preparation workflow that gathers the task details, user scenarios, code paths, and development data needed before fixing an issue, writing tests first, or reviewing code. TDD means writing tests before the implementation they check.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before issue-resolution, TDD, or code-review work to prepare development database records, map scenarios to code, and identify missing information.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork by making sure each scenario can be reproduced and linked to actual code before development begins. It does not modify production source files.

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

prepare-issue-context 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prepare Issue Context

Purpose

De-risk the next implementation step (/resolve-issue, TDD, or CR) by front-loading the data and codebase context the agent needs to act without hallucinating. The skill ends with one of two states: ready (the development database holds every record the assignment scenarios refer to, and every scenario is mapped to a concrete code path) or blocked (a gap exists — the calling skill must stop and surface the gap to the user instead of guessing).


Constraints

  • Apply @rules/php/core-standards.mdc
  • Apply @rules/git/general.mdc
  • Apply @rules/jira/general.mdc when the assignment lives in JIRA
  • If the current project uses Laravel, also apply @rules/laravel/laravel.mdc, @rules/laravel/architecture.mdc, @rules/laravel/filament.mdc, and @rules/laravel/livewire.mdc
  • Read-only for production code. This skill never modifies production source files. It is allowed to: create temporary seeders / factories / Tinker scripts under database/seeders/, database/factories/, or a scratch directory; insert rows into the development database; create scratch Pest tests that reproduce the bug. It is never allowed to mutate the production database, run destructive migrations, drop tables, push to the remote, or modify code in src/ / app/ outside of seed-only fixtures.
  • Never invent values that are not derivable from the assignment, the codebase, or the existing dev database. When a required value (account ID, contact phone, enum case, config key) cannot be resolved, list it as a gap — do not guess.
  • Never expose secrets, production credentials, or PII when seeding. Use test fixtures (+420604240203-style sentinels, qa-* aliases) explicitly tagged as such.
  • Apply @rules/reports/general.mdc — when a context-preparation summary is published to the tracker (via @skills/pr-summary/SKILL.md), it must be written in the language of the source assignment. The in-conversation ready / blocked status is allowed to stay in English.

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.
