sova: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/sova-issue/SKILL.md

sova-issue is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xsovad06/sova. It costs 15 tokens per session (323 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A task-tracker lookup and analysis workflow for GitHub Issues or JIRA tickets. It retrieves the ticket and summarizes its status, discussion, links, and possible implementation approach.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a ticket, understand its history and related work, and decide whether to implement it or write a specification first.
Why use it?
It saves you from manually opening several tracker views and piecing together the current context before starting work.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is xsovad06/sova's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on sova itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything sova configures →

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

sova-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 22d 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 it actually says

Issue

Fetch and analyze a task from the project tracker.

Instructions

  1. Get the issue number or ticket key from the arguments provided when this skill is invoked. If empty, ask the user.

  2. Determine the task source by running sova config and reading the task_source row (configuration lives in .claude/sova.db, not in a file).

  3. Fetch the task:

    GitHub (the default):

    gh issue view <arguments> --json number,title,state,assignees,labels,milestone,body,comments
    

    JIRA (task_source.type = "jira"):

    jira issue view <arguments> --plain
    
  4. Present:

    • Title, status, assignees, labels/components, milestone/sprint
    • Description (summarized if long)
    • Comments or activity (key discussion points)
    • Related/linked issues (mentioned in body, comments, or JIRA links)
    • Suggested approach for implementation

Cross-References

  • Ready to implement? Run the sova-develop-full skill <ISSUE_NUMBER>
  • Want a spec first? Run the sova-spec skill <ISSUE_NUMBER>
  • Planning your sprint? Run the sova-find-task skill

Changes

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.
