oh-my-issues

oh-my-issues is a skill for Claude Code from thedotmack/claude-mem. It costs 97 tokens per session (2,808 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A GitHub issue-management guide that groups reports caused by the same underlying defect. GitHub issues are tracked reports or tasks; this guide turns clusters of related symptoms into one main plan and design document.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to triage, deduplicate, and group issue backlogs; identify root causes; create plan-master issues and design documents; redirect related reports; and organize fixes that close a whole cluster together.
Why use it?
It helps when a backlog contains many duplicate or closely related reports. Instead of handling each symptom separately, it redirects child issues to a shared plan and bundles the architectural fix into one pull request.

About the project

Claude-Mem, now presented as Grok Mem, records an agent's work, compresses it with AI, and brings relevant notes into later sessions so the agent can remember decisions and next steps. It is intended for persistent context across agent conversations and supports multiple coding-agent environments. The catalogue add-ons provide the workflows and integrations used to operate this memory system.

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

oh-my-issues 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 10d 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.

oh-my-issues

Turn an issue backlog into a roadmap. Issues are symptom data, not units of work — the unit of work is the architectural defect that produces them. The end state is open issues == open plans, 1:1.

Core principle

Stop closing issues one at a time. Group symptoms that share a single architectural fix into a cluster, give the cluster one canonical home (a plan-master issue + a plans/0X-*.md design doc), close every child with a standardized redirect, and ship one PR per cluster that closes all children atomically. New incoming bugs get appended to the matching master as a "Round N" comment, not opened as new tracked issues.

This compounds three ways: architectural fixes retire whole symptom families, the plan's test matrix institutionalizes prevention in CI, and standardized triage makes residual inflow cheap.

When to use

  • The repo has 20+ open issues and many feel like duplicates or platform-specific symptoms of the same defect.
  • The user asks to "triage", "consolidate", "cluster", "dedupe", "group", or "make a plan from" the issue list.
  • A new bug is filed and the user wants to know whether it belongs to existing work.
  • The user wants to ship a focused PR that resolves a cluster of related issues.

When NOT to use

  • Fewer than ~15 open issues: just close them.
  • Issues are genuinely independent (no shared root causes): one fix per issue is correct.
  • The repo lacks plans/ discipline and the user does not want to introduce one — propose first, do not impose.

Three modes

Mode 1: Cluster pass (initial reduction)

Use when the backlog has never been consolidated. Goal: go from N issues to N_plans masters in one operation.

  1. Read everything in full. Fetch every open issue's body and its comment thread — not just titles. Surface-level grouping fails without full text, and reproduction steps, linked duplicates, and diagnostic output often live in comments rather than the original body. See "GitHub CLI primitives" below for the correct paginated listing + per-issue comment fetch (a single gh issue list call does not return comment bodies).
  2. Cluster by root cause, not by surface. The clustering question is would one architectural change retire all of these? — not do these mention the same word?. "Windows" is a surface; "spawn contract violated by host shells" is a root cause. Two issues with different surfaces can share a cluster (e.g. an env-var leak in two different code paths sharing one missing env-isolation boundary).
  3. Name each cluster as an architectural problem. Title format: [plan-XX] <Architectural Defect> — <one-line scope>. Example: [plan-02] Spawn-Contract Templating — canonical ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} resolution across all hosts. The title must imply a fix, not a topic.
  4. Open one master issue per cluster with a body that lists: the architectural defect, the children (by issue number), the fix sequence, and a required test matrix (host × IDE × shell, etc.) that prevents regression.
  5. Mirror each master as plans/0X-<slug>.md in the repo. The issue is the public tracker; the doc is the design. They reference each other.
  6. Close every child with the standardized redirect comment (see below) and state not planned.
  7. Verify end state: gh issue list --state open returns exactly the masters and nothing else.

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.
