issue-driven-development

issue-driven-development is a skill for Claude Code from troykelly/claude-skills. It costs 42 tokens per session (3,423 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A development process that coordinates issue tracking, branching, test-driven development, code review, and continuous-integration checks. Test-driven development means writing tests as part of guiding the implementation, while continuous integration runs automated checks on proposed changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Managing development tasks that need an issue, a separate branch, tests, code review, and CI verification.
Why use it?
It gives development work a defined process from GitHub issue through verification, reducing the chance that tracking, tests, review, or checks are skipped.

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-driven-development 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 8d 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.

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.
