What it does

Feedback is an agent skill from codewhale-hq/Codewhale. Report a Codewhale bug or idea as a GitHub issue. Use when: codewhale bug, feature request, feedback on codewhale, report an issue, or this should work differently.

Its SKILL.md is about 270 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Open-source coding agent for your terminal, built in Rust and on a journey of continuous community improvement. Issues and PRs welcome. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : codewhale bug
  • Feature request
  • Feedback on codewhale
  • Report an issue

Example prompts

  • “/feedback”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Reproduce or pin the behavior first: version (codewhale --version),
  2. Draft the issue (title, repro, expected, actual, version) and read it back.
  3. File only with explicit approval
  4. Report the issue URL back.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fead51e. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Feedback loads about 272 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 134 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~272

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.

Feedback

When to use

The user hit a Codewhale bug or wants Codewhale to do something new, and wants it reported upstream.

Setup

Requires the gh CLI, authenticated (gh auth status). Fail loud when it is missing — fall back to printing the issue text for manual filing.

Workflow

  1. Reproduce or pin the behavior first: version (codewhale --version), command, expected vs actual, minimal steps.
  2. Draft the issue (title, repro, expected, actual, version) and read it back.
  3. File only with explicit approval: gh issue create -R codewhale-hq/Codewhale --title "..." --body "...".
  4. Report the issue URL back.

Non-goals

  • Do not file without showing the user the exact title and body first.
  • Do not file duplicates — search open issues for the same report first.
  • Do not include secrets, tokens, or private data in the issue body.
