issue-update

A workflow for updating a work item after a feature or fix has been delivered. A work item is a tracked task in systems such as Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues, or Azure DevOps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add a plain-language delivery summary, link the pull request, record important decisions, and move the work item to the team’s review status.
Why use it?
It closes the gap between finishing code and recording its outcome for the people tracking the 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-update 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Issue Update

Close the loop: after the code ships, the tracker must reflect it without anyone updating it by hand. This skill speaks to whichever tracker is configured in .claude/dev-kit.json (tracker.type).

Preconditions

  • .claude/dev-kit.json exists with a tracker block (otherwise run dev-kit-setup first).
  • The adapter's backend is authenticated (MCP connector authorized, or gh/az logged in) — otherwise tell the user how to authenticate and stop.
  • A PR URL and a product-facing summary of the delivered work are available from the delivery flow.

1. Comment the delivery summary

Audience: product owners and other non-technical readers. The comment explains what was delivered and why, in user terms — no test counts, coverage percentages, lint, or tooling jargon. All technical evidence lives in the PR, which is linked.

Post a comment (via the adapter below) containing:

Pull request: <PR URL>

What was delivered:
- <the new behavior, described as a user would experience it — one bullet per acceptance criterion addressed>

Decisions taken:
- <each meaningful decision or interpretation made during implementation, in plain language, with the reason>

Out of scope / follow-ups:
- <anything deliberately left out or worth a future ticket, or "Nothing pending.">

Keep it factual and grounded in what was actually built — never a template filled with assumptions. If an acceptance criterion was NOT met, say so here plainly.

2. Ensure the item has a named owner

Every item carries a named owner: if it has no assignee, assign it to the current user. Agents act on a person's behalf — the item must always show whose behalf that is. (Skip only for trackers/flows where assignment is not applicable, and say so.)

3. Transition to review

Move the item to the team's review status. Never hardcode transition/state IDs — discover the available ones and pick the target named like "In Review" / "Code Review" / "Review"; if none matches, ask the user once and persist the choice under tracker.reviewState in .claude/dev-kit.json.

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.

issue-update is a skill published in the GitHub repository theam/claude-dev-kit (11 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 1,069 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
