Polaris: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/github-issue-dependencies/SKILL.md

github-issue-dependencies is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sponge-b0b/Polaris. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,254 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A helper for creating parent-child and dependency links between GitHub issues using the GitHub command-line tool. It only performs relationship changes that another workflow has already decided are correct.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps workflows mark issues as sub-issues, blocked by other issues, or blocking other issues. It is used by specification, ticket, and project-delivery workflows.
Why use it?
It keeps GitHub relationship commands in one place and prevents different workflows from duplicating tracker details. It does not decide whether a dependency is needed or where it belongs.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter, but also agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex; $skill-name invocation.

This is sponge-b0b/Polaris's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on Polaris 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 Polaris 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

github-issue-dependencies 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Issue Dependencies

This is a mechanical relationship helper, not a semantic lifecycle owner and not a standalone Human Handoff.

Authorized callers:

  • $to-specs — native Spec dependency mutations after it has established semantic ownership and cycle safety. This includes same-Wayfinder-lineage Spec prerequisites and every Spec prerequisite where either endpoint is intentionally Independent;
  • $to-tickets — native direct-decomposition hierarchy plus dependency edges it already owns;
  • $project-delivery-management — native blocked by / blocking mutations only after it has established cross-Wayfinder semantic ownership, lowest-accurate placement, and cycle safety. Both dependency endpoints must be Wayfinder-managed.

Do not let this helper decide whether a dependency is semantically required, where it belongs, which lifecycle owns it, or whether a Spec is Wayfinder-managed versus Independent.

Native gh flags

As of gh CLI v2.94.0 (June 2026), gh issue create supports:

  • --parent <number> — creates the new issue as a native sub-issue of <number>;
  • --blocked-by <numbers> — marks the new issue as blocked by the given issue number(s)/URL(s), comma-separated for multiple;
  • --blocking <numbers> — marks the new issue as blocking the given issue number(s)/URL(s);
  • --type <name> — sets the issue type, if your tracker uses GitHub's issue types.

All four flags can be combined in one call.

$to-tickets hierarchy invariant

Only $to-tickets may use this helper to establish direct-decomposition parentage during ticket publication/reconciliation.

Resolve <native_parent_issue_number> from the artifact directly decomposed by $to-tickets:

  • ordinary Spec ticketing → the Spec issue number;
  • Spec Review remediation → the Spec Review issue number.

Do not substitute an upstream provenance issue for the direct decomposition parent. In particular, a remediation ticket's originating Parent Spec remains lifecycle/branch provenance and is not its native GitHub parent.

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.
