  • Summarizing resolved issue troubleshooting process

What it does

GitHub Issue Summary is an agent skill from ascend-ai-coding/awesome-ascend-skills. Analyze closed GitHub issues to create troubleshooting case studies with root cause analysis and lessons learned. Use when: (1) summarizing resolved issue troubleshooting process, (2) creating issue case studies, (3) documenting problem-solving methodology, (4) extracting lessons from closed issues, (5) building knowledge base from issue history. Triggers: "summarize this issue", "create case study from issue", "issue resolution summary", "troubleshooting case", "postmortem analysis".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/analysis-patterns.md`, `references/case-template.md` and `scripts/fetch_issue.py`).

It sits in Development, covering Root cause analysis, Runbooks and postmortems and Knowledge bases. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: A comprehensive knowledge base for Huawei Ascend NPU development, structured as distributed Agent Skills. https://ascend-ai-coding.github.io/awesome-ascend-skills/.

When your agent uses it

  • Summarizing resolved issue troubleshooting process
  • Creating issue case studies
  • Documenting problem-solving methodology
  • Extracting lessons from closed issues

Example prompts

  • “summarize this issue”
  • “create case study from issue”
  • “issue resolution summary”
  • “/github-issue-summary”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Fetch Issue Data — Retrieve issue details from GitHub
  2. Analyze Timeline — Extract key events, comments, and resolution steps
  3. Generate Summary — Create structured case study document
  4. Save Output — Write to docs/issue-cases/ (configurable)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62a4ecb. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • curl

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com
    • api.github.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GITHUB_TOKEN

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

Context cost

GitHub Issue Summary loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 188 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~128
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.4k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 188 words (~1,439 tokens).

“Analyze closed GitHub issues and generate structured troubleshooting case studies documenting the problem-solving process, root cause, and lessons learned.”
