What it does

Gh Create Issue is an agent skill from elastic/kibana, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Create a new GitHub issue (feature request or bug report) by gathering an unstructured description from the user, classifying it, filling out the appropriate Kibana template, interviewing the user to improve any weak sections, and filing the issue via the GitHub CLI.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports. It works with GitHub and Elasticsearch. The repository describes itself as: Your window into all of your data.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve QA and bug reports

Example prompts

  • “/gh-create-issue”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather the unstructured description
  2. Classify the issue
  3. Read the appropriate template
  4. Draft the issue from the description
  5. Generate a title
  6. Interview the user for weak or missing fields
  7. Collect and validate labels
  8. Show the draft and confirm
  9. Create the issue

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ee7c86b. 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

Gh Create Issue loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 790 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 790 words (~1,502 tokens).

“Guide the user through creating a well-structured GitHub issue from scratch.”
