issue-analyze

issue-analyze is a skill for Claude Code from sd0xdev/sd0x-harness. It costs 73 tokens per session (3,122 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A GitHub issue and pull-request review analysis tool that investigates a reported problem, classifies it, and gives a reasoned verdict. GitHub issues are tracked reports or requests, while review threads are conversations about proposed code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze an issue's likely root cause, plan an investigation, or assess an individual review comment for whether and how it should be addressed.
Why use it?
It helps separate actionable problems from misunderstandings or low-priority feedback before someone starts changing code. It is intended for investigation and triage, not for directly fixing a known bug.

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

issue-analyze 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 yesterday.

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

Issue Analyze Skill

Trigger

  • Keywords: analyze issue, investigate problem, problem analysis, root cause, root cause analysis, triage review, review thread analysis

Input Types

Type Source Example
GitHub Issue Issue number, URL, or description /issue-analyze 123
Review Thread file:line + reviewer comment /issue-analyze --triage "src/foo.ts:42 — Use early return"

When input is a Review Thread:

  • Phase 1 skips gh issue view, uses provided thread data directly
  • Phase 2 classification uses Review Thread dimensions (see references/classification.md)

Modes

Mode Input Type Phases Executed Use Case
Full (default) Issue or Thread 1 → 2 → 2.5 → 3 → 4 Deep analysis with investigation
Triage (--triage) Review Thread 2 → 2.5 only Lightweight classification + verdict (thread data provided inline)
Triage (--triage) GitHub Issue 1 → 2 → 2.5 Fetch issue first, then classify + verdict

When NOT to Use

  • Known root cause, fix directly (use /bug-fix)
  • Pure feature development (use /feature-dev)
  • Only need code review (use /codex-review)

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.
