Draft GitHub issues for the Gumroad codebase. An agent skill from antiwork/gumroad.

  • Works in 4 steps: Understand the Problem → Decide: Single Issue or Parent +… → Write the Issue → …
  • Write a bug report
  • SKILL.md covers Workflow, Style and Important
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Create Issue is an agent skill from antiwork/gumroad. Draft GitHub issues for the Gumroad codebase. Outputs to an unstaged markdown file in the repo root. Never creates issues on GitHub. Triggers on: "create issue", "write issue", "draft issue", "write a bug report", "file an issue", "create a ticket", or when the user describes a problem or feature they want to turn into a GitHub issue.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports. It works with GitHub. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Write a bug report
  • Create a ticket
  • The user describes a problem
  • Feature they want to turn into a GitHub issue

Example prompts

  • “create issue”
  • “write issue”
  • “draft issue”
  • “/create-issue”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand the Problem
  2. Decide: Single Issue or Parent + Sub-issues
  3. Write the Issue
  4. Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b195c51. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Create Issue loads about 747 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 388 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~747

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Draft GitHub issues for the Gumroad codebase. Outputs to an unstaged markdown file in the repo root. Never creates issues on GitHub. Triggers on: "create issue", "write issue", "draft issue", "write a bug report", "file an issue", "create a ticket", or when the user describes a problem or feature they want to turn into a GitHub issue.

Issue Drafting

Draft well-structured GitHub issues. Output to an unstaged .md file — never post to GitHub.

Workflow

1. Understand the Problem

Gather context from the user. Ask clarifying questions if needed:

  • What's happening vs what should happen?
  • Who's affected and how often?
  • Any workarounds in use?
  • Is there data that quantifies the impact?

If the user points to code, trace the relevant paths to understand the root cause. Include aggregated, anonymized data that quantifies the impact when available (e.g., "99 purchases across 82 sellers are in this state"). Never include PII — no emails, names, IDs, or payment details.

2. Decide: Single Issue or Parent + Sub-issues

Before writing, assess the scope:

Single issue when:

  • One clear problem with one solution path
  • The fix would be one PR (~100 LOC per CONTRIBUTING.md)
  • No independent workstreams

Parent + sub-issues when:

  • The solution has multiple independently shippable parts
  • Different parts could be worked on in parallel or by different people
  • The total scope would exceed one reasonably-sized PR
  • There's a logical sequence (e.g., API integration → webhook fix → backfill)

If suggesting sub-issues, number the solution parts clearly and note which can be done independently vs which depend on each other. Write the parent issue as the full document, then note where to split.

Show full SKILL.md (181 more words)Show less
3. Write the Issue

Follow the structure in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Title — Carries most of the weight. Specific and actionable.

## What What needs to change. Be concrete — current vs desired behavior, who is affected, checkbox task list for multiple deliverables.

## Why Why this matters — business rationale or user impact, root cause if it's a bug, links to related issues or prior discussions.

4. Output

Write to gh-issue-draft.md in the repo root. Do NOT stage or commit.

If the issue should be split into sub-issues, write the parent issue first, then add a ## Sub-issues section at the end listing each sub-issue with a one-line summary. The user can split them manually.

Style

Follow CONTRIBUTING.md for terminology and tone. Additionally:

  • Concise and direct. No jargon, no filler.
  • Ground claims in data or code references.
  • Reference code by area or concept ("the dispute webhook handler"), not by file:line.
  • The issue is public (open source). Self-contained for OSS contributors with no access to internal tools.

Important

  • Use gh read-only only. Never create issues via CLI.
  • The user reviews and posts manually — just write the best possible draft.
