issue-description

issue-description is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SpillwaveSolutions/wiki_ticket_sdd. It costs 50 tokens per session (581 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing issue and ticket descriptions that remain useful after the original discussion is forgotten. It explains how to record the goal, context, problem, and definition of done.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing or updating tickets by hand, preparing ticket-sync content, and enriching worklog source records before they are sent to a ticket system.
Why use it?
It prevents tickets from becoming vague titles that future developers or coding agents cannot act on without searching through old work.

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-description 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 today.

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

Rich issue descriptions

An issue is a durable intent record, not a task title. Issues outlive PRs and are read by more people — including future agents. Every issue should let a zero-context reader understand what, why, where it sits, and what "done" looks like.

The mechanical path (worklog-synced tickets)

For items in the event log, do not hand-write bodies: bin/worklog ticket-body <ulid> renders the item's graph node — summary (from --body), context (epic, generating plan with its frozen wiki page, milestone, unplanned provenance), and traceability (decides/implements edges, delivered-by PRs). ticket-sync pushes that. To make a ticket richer, enrich the SOURCE: worklog update --body, worklog link-pr, sidecar relates_to edges — never just the remote ticket (it would drift back).

Template (hand-written issues, or systems without worklog)

## Summary
One or two sentences: what needs to be done and why it matters.

## Context / Big picture
Where this sits in the larger system or epic. Link the parent epic and
the plan that generated it.

## Problem / Motivation
What is painful or missing today? "What"-only issues rot; "why" keeps
them useful.

## Desired outcome
What does done look like? Concrete and observable.

## Scope
In scope: ...
Explicitly out of scope: ...

## Proposed approach (optional)
High-level design or sequence if known. Link relevant ADRs/design docs.

## Acceptance criteria
- [ ] ...

## Traceability
Plan / Epic / ADRs / Spec sections / Related issues.

## Notes for implementers & agents
Traps, sequencing rules, non-obvious constraints, "never do X" guidance
written for the next agent that picks this up.

Rules

  • Omit sections that have no real content — no boilerplate placeholders.
  • Every plan-generated issue links back to its frozen plan page: the why lives in the plan, the issue carries the pointer.
  • Surface risks and open questions early; uncertainty stated is uncertainty managed.
  • Body text must be readable by a junior dev or PM: no bare ULIDs in prose (spec §13.4); ULIDs belong in the machine footer.

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.
