create-issue

A structured GitHub issue containing background, prioritized acceptance criteria, and a justified time budget for private repositories. GitHub issues are work records used to describe and track software tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create an issue in a repository with Must and Should requirements, context, time-budget reasoning where required, and the required attribution details.
Why use it?
It gives implementers a clear scope and a shared definition of when the task is finished.

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

create-issue 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 — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create GitHub Issue

Creates a structured GitHub issue in the specified repository with background, prioritized acceptance criteria (Must/Should), and (for private repositories) a justified time budget so implementers have clear scope and exit criteria.

Prerequisites

  • Apply the shared SDLC conventions in skills/sdlc/references/shared.md.
  • If no argument is provided, operate on $REPO.
  • gh CLI authenticated with write access to the target repository
  • Repository name in owner/repo format ($1), or omitted to use the repository in the current working directory

Skill attribution (GitHub)

Before creating an issue with gh issue create, read github-post-attribution/SKILL.md and append the Created with footer for SKILL_DIR = create-issue to the issue body.

When this skill is invoked as part of an sdlc pipeline run, also include the SDLC phase footer described in github-post-attribution/SKILL.md (prepend the SDLC phase: <phase> (<FEAT-id> #<issue>) line above the Created with line).

Formatting

  • Do not use curly or typographic quotation marks in any text you write for the issue (title, body, sections, lists, or examples). Use straight ASCII double quotes (") and straight apostrophes (') only.
  • Write one sentence per line throughout the issue body. Lists and checklist items follow their own format, but any prose paragraph should have each sentence on its own line.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Split into Must (the exit gate, the minimum bar for "done") and Should (deferrable without blocking the issue).
  • Aim for the smallest set that proves the issue is resolved. If Must grows beyond roughly 5 items, the issue is probably too broad and should be split rather than padded with more criteria.
  • Each criterion must be testable (a concrete test can be written for it) and specific about what, not how.
  • Put the happy path in Must. Move edge cases, error handling, and polish to Should unless they are part of the core definition of done.
  • Omit the Should subsection entirely when there are no deferrable items. Do not invent nice-to-haves just to fill it.

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.

create-issue is a skill published in the GitHub repository tomzx/agents (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 2,974 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
