What it does

Understand Scrap Issues is an agent skill from dyoshikawa/rulesync. Fetch the most recent maintainer-scrap issues (up to 3) and understand their content

Its SKILL.md is about 470 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 Development. The repository describes itself as: A Utility CLI for AI Coding Agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/understand-scrap-issues”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Fetch the Latest Scrap Issues
  2. Gather Each Issue's Content
  3. Understand and Summarize

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2c577d0. 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

Understand Scrap Issues loads about 470 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 244 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~470

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.

Fetch the most recent maintainer-scrap issues (up to 3) and understand their content
targets
*

Fetch the newest scrap issues (GitHub issues labeled maintainer-scrap) and understand what each one is about, so you can catch up on recently jotted-down notes before acting on them.

Step 1: Fetch the Latest Scrap Issues

List the most recent open issues that carry the maintainer-scrap label. gh issue list returns issues in creation order (newest first), so limiting to 3 yields the 3 newest:

bash
gh issue list --label maintainer-scrap --state open --limit 3 --json number,title,url,createdAt

If the result is empty, report that there are no open scrap issues and stop.

Step 2: Gather Each Issue's Content

For each scrap issue returned, read both the body and the discussion. Run these in parallel across the issues where practical:

bash
gh issue view <issue_number>
gh issue view <issue_number> --comments

If an issue references related pull requests, commits, or files that are needed to understand it, gather that context as well.

Step 3: Understand and Summarize

For each scrap issue, explain the following based on its content:

  1. Topic: A one-line summary of what the scrap note is about.
  2. Background: The context, motivation, or problem the note captures and why it matters.
  3. Details / Findings: The specific observations, problems, or content recorded in the note.
  4. Proposed Solution / Next Steps: Any solution or actionable next step mentioned. If none is recorded, state explicitly that it is still undecided.

Keep each summary concise and focused. Present the issues in the order returned (newest first), with the issue number, title, and URL as a heading for each.

Use the language of the current conversation (follow the user's language).
