finfocus: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/pick-issue/SKILL.md

pick-issue is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rshade/finfocus. It costs 53 tokens per session (240 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for choosing the next GitHub issue from a project's roadmap backlog. A roadmap is a planned list of future work, and GitHub issues are records of tasks or problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review candidate issues, choose one or more to work on, and optionally mark them as currently in progress on the roadmap.
Why use it?
It avoids picking work blindly by checking project context, existing work, roadmap phases, and issues that should be excluded.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is rshade/finfocus's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on finfocus itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything finfocus configures →

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

pick-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 26d 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.

What it actually says

Pick a Roadmap Issue

Read and follow the shared command before starting. That file is the maintained workflow; resolve its relative links from .claude/commands/ and run its shell commands from the repository root unless a step changes directories.

Treat any issue number or other arguments in the user's invocation as inputs to the command. FinFocus's Spec Kit commands use dotted names such as /speckit.specify. Read the linked command files when no corresponding Codex skill is available. Map /code-review and /scout to the corresponding available skills; report unavailable capabilities without claiming to run them.

Apply the current session's instructions and authorization when interpreting Claude-specific tool or permission notes. Loading or migrating this skill alone does not authorize claiming an issue or other external actions.

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.
