yds-gh-issue-drafter

yds-gh-issue-drafter is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ymd38/dev-skills. It costs 227 tokens per session (1,943 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for turning a rough idea into a clearly scoped GitHub Issue. It proposes completion criteria, exclusions, and optional design constraints before creating the issue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define what must be done, what is outside the task, and any design limits before handing the issue to a planning workflow.
Why use it?
It reduces ambiguity that would otherwise make planning, implementation, and review depend on guesses.

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

yds-gh-issue-drafter 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.

GitHub Issue Drafter

Overview

The quality of everything downstream — the plan, the reviews, the implementation, the CI verification — is capped by the quality of the Issue that starts it. A rough, one-line Issue forces every later step to guess at the author's intent.

This skill takes the user's rough intent (the What) and, without slowing them down, proposes the three things a hand-written Issue almost always omits: a machine-checkable Done definition, an explicit Out of scope, and optional Design constraints. The user approves or edits the proposal, then the skill creates a structured GitHub Issue tagged with a marker that yds-gh-issue-planner recognizes.

Scope boundary: this skill only drafts and files the Issue. It does not investigate code, propose a response plan, or implement anything. Hand off to yds-gh-issue-planner once the Issue exists.

When NOT to expand

If the user's input already contains a clear Done definition and scope (e.g. they pasted a fully-formed Issue, or a yds-report-to-issues output), do not re-interrogate them — just confirm and file. The goal is to fill gaps, not to add ceremony to Issues that are already well-formed.

Workflow

Step 1: Capture the rough intent

Take the user's input as the raw What. Do not ask them to rewrite it or expand it themselves — capturing intent cheaply is the whole point. If the input is a single line, that is fine.

If repository context is unclear, establish it:

gh repo view --json nameWithOwner

Step 2: Classify

Infer the Issue type to guide the Done definition and label. Keep it lightweight — one signal is enough.

Signal in the intent Type Label Done tends to look like
broken, error, crash, regression Bug fix bug a failing case now passes / reproduces no longer
add, support, new, want Feature feature new behavior is exercised by a test
clean up, restructure, extract, rename Refactor refactor behavior unchanged, tests still green
doc, readme, explain Docs docs the doc reflects current code
