issue-crafting

issue-crafting is a skill for Claude Code from synaptiai/synapti-marketplace. It costs 64 tokens per session (738 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for writing GitHub issues around user-visible outcomes, with acceptance criteria that can be checked without prescribing the implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps draft solution-neutral issues, define observable acceptance criteria, and apply appropriate labels.
Why use it?
It prevents issues from locking developers into a particular solution and encourages checking for duplicates before creating new 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-crafting 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 2d 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.

Issue Crafting

Contract

Iron law: issues describe outcomes, never implementations — if the issue says "how," rewrite it. Invoked by /flow:issue (all phases), by /flow:start Phase 1 when the issue lacks acceptance criteria, and by /flow:review and /flow:address when a user-selected finding becomes a new issue. Returns a created and verified GitHub issue (gh issue view <N> --json number,title,state,labels) whose body follows the Context / Current State / Objective / Acceptance Criteria structure, with labels drawn from gh label list. Permitted skips: none — duplicate search (open and closed) always runs before creation, and any of the four requirement elements that is missing is gathered via the AskUserQuestion tool before composing.

Solution-Agnostic Rules

  • Describe outcomes: "Users can reset their password via email" — not "Add a reset_password method to UserController that sends a Postmark email."
  • Acceptance criteria are verifiable without reading code: "Resetting a password with a valid token changes the stored password" — not "The reset! method updates the password_digest column."
  • Never include file paths, function names, or class names in acceptance criteria.
  • No vague criteria ("improve performance", "make it better"); no bundling unrelated changes into one issue.

Requirements Gathering

Collect four elements; for each gap, use the AskUserQuestion tool with contextual options (e.g., "What's the current behavior?"):

  1. Context — background and motivation
  2. Current State — what happens now, what the problem is
  3. Objective — the outcome to achieve
  4. Acceptance Criteria — observable behaviors that prove completeness

Duplicate Detection

REPO=$(gh repo view --json nameWithOwner --jq '.nameWithOwner')
gh issue list --state open --search "KEYWORDS" --limit 10
gh issue list --state closed --search "KEYWORDS" --limit 5

If matches are found, present them to the user before proceeding.

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.
