create-github-issues

create-github-issues is a skill for Claude Code from pjt222/agent-almanac. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,747 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning review findings or a task list into structured GitHub issues. GitHub issues are trackable work items that can include descriptions, labels, and acceptance criteria.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating batches of issues from code reviews, security audits, planning sessions, or TODO lists, with labels and clear conditions for completion.
Why use it?
It prevents review findings and planned work from remaining as an unstructured list. Related items can be grouped consistently for later tracking.

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-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 7d 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.

Create GitHub Issues

Structured GitHub issue creation from review findings or task breakdowns. Converts a list of findings (from review-codebase, security-audit-codebase, or manual analysis) into well-formed GitHub issues with labels, acceptance criteria, and cross-references.

When to Use

  • After a codebase review produces a findings table that needs tracking
  • After a planning session identifies work items that should become issues
  • When converting a TODO list or backlog into trackable GitHub issues
  • When batch-creating related issues that need consistent formatting and labeling

Inputs

  • Required: findings — a list of items, each with at minimum a title and description. Ideally also includes: severity, affected files, and suggested labels
  • Optional:
    • group_by — how to batch findings into issues: severity, file, theme (default: theme)
    • label_prefix — prefix for auto-created labels (default: none)
    • create_labels — whether to create missing labels (default: true)
    • dry_run — preview issues without creating them (default: false)

Procedure

Step 1: Prepare Labels

Ensure all needed labels exist in the repository.

  1. List existing labels: gh label list --limit 100
  2. Identify labels needed by the findings (from severity, phase, or explicit label fields)
  3. Map severities to labels if not already mapped: critical, high-priority, medium-priority, low-priority
  4. Map phases/themes to labels: security, architecture, code-quality, accessibility, testing, performance
  5. If create_labels is true, create missing labels: gh label create "name" --color "hex" --description "desc"
  6. Use consistent colors: red for critical/security, orange for high, yellow for medium, blue for architecture, green for testing

Got: All labels referenced by findings exist in the repository. No duplicate labels created.

If fail: If gh CLI is not authenticated, instruct the user to run gh auth login. If label creation is denied (insufficient permissions), proceed without creating labels and note which labels are missing.

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.
