whats-on-fire

whats-on-fire is a skill for Claude Code from Sassy-Dog/sassydog-skills. It costs 203 tokens per session (6,054 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only sweep of a GitHub organisation’s products to find work that is currently broken or stalled. It ranks the problems, names the repository responsible, and continues even when one information source is unavailable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check cross-product health, identify the product needing attention, and route each active problem to its owning repository.
Why use it?
It gives a portfolio-wide view of what needs attention today instead of checking repositories one by one. It reports problems without filing issues or changing project data.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

whats-on-fire 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/check-dispatch-recovery.sh, scripts/pull-org-github.sh, scripts/pull-repo-signals.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 372 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

What's On Fire

One cross-product sweep of everything currently broken or stalled across a GitHub org, ranked, and routed to the repo that owns it.

This skill is read-only. It pulls, correlates, ranks, and reports. It NEVER files issues, changes Sentry status, or mutates anything — which is what makes it safe to run on a loop or a schedule.

Scope boundary. This decides which product deserves attention today. It deliberately does not decide what to do inside that product — no tech-debt scan, no next-bet synthesis, no backlog grooming. Those don't roll up meaningfully across a dozen products, and each repo's own survey-work already does them with repo-specific knowledge this skill has no business duplicating. Report the fire, name the repo, hand off.

1. Prerequisites

Run these probes. For each failure, label that surface skipped — <reason> in the output and continue. Never abort the whole sweep on one missing precondition.

command -v gh && gh auth status
  • GitHub CLIgh missing entirely (cloud/CCR routine sessions ship without it) is the one probe failure that does NOT skip its surfaces: route the section 2B pulls through the GitHub-MCP fallback in references/cloud-fallback.md instead. Three parts of that surface have no MCP equivalent at all — Dependabot alerts, code-scanning alerts and secret-scanning alerts — and each is named on the sources line like any other skip: skipped — no gh CLI (Dependabot API unreachable) and Security scanning skipped — no MCP capability (code + secret scanning alerts unreachable). check-dispatch-recovery.sh (section 2A) also needs gh, and its fallback is in the same reference: query the runs capability scoped to the ONE workflow, never a repo-wide page. That distinction is not a detail — a repo-wide page truncates the evidence away and turns a verified-green control into a P0. gh present but unauthenticated stays an ordinary skip.
  • Sentry — probe by listing projects for the Sentry org; on error, skip both Sentry surfaces.
  • Portfolio root — the local checkout directory (env PORTFOLIO_ROOT, default ~/Repos/sassy-dog). Only needed for the two blind spots that compare the org against local clones; if it's missing, skip those two rows and keep the rest.

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.

whats-on-fire is a skill published in the GitHub repository Sassy-Dog/sassydog-skills (0 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 203 tokens to every session and 6,054 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
