Issue Task

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Validating docs/tasks paths
• Resolving task IDs
• Converting task docs into trackable GitHub issues
• Linking task issues to an explicit parent RFC issue

Example prompts

• “/issue-task”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Require one task document matching
2. 2For id-only shorthand, resolve exactly one open task document
3. 3Validate the resolved task document
4. 4Inspect the validation result. If github_issue is already set, do not
5. 5Resolve the task's explicit Parent RFC: block deterministically

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3291b68. 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:

  • cargo

  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

Issue Task loads about 719 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 260 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~84

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~719

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~1.2k

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

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

Create and list GitHub Issues for Doradb task documents with deterministic scripts. Use when validating docs/tasks paths, resolving task IDs, converting task docs into trackable GitHub issues, linking task issues to an explicit parent RFC issue, or listing issues during task work. Do not use for RFC document issue creation.
