What it does

File Issue is an agent skill from marin-community/marin. File a GitHub issue only when explicitly requested or delegated by another selected workflow; do not create issues merely because a problem was found.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 framework for the research and development of foundation models. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/file-issue”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather and classify
  2. Check duplicates
  3. Draft
  4. Inspect the payload
  5. Apply the approval boundary
  6. File the issue
  7. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be1f5f1. 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

File Issue loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 455 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Workflow

1. Gather and classify

Extract the symptom or desired outcome, impact, location, reproduction, known cause, and severity. Ask when the issue or its kind is ambiguous.

2. Check duplicates

Search for existing issues first:

bash
gh issue list --repo marin-community/marin --state open --search "<keyword>"

If a match exists, tell the user and offer to comment on it instead.

3. Draft

Title: At most 80 characters, optionally prefixed with a scope tag. State a factual symptom for a bug (e.g. [levanter] Gradient accumulation drops the last microbatch) and an imperative outcome for a task (e.g. [levanter] Handle partial accumulation steps). Do not add bug:, task:, or another type prefix.

Use the body structure above. Keep the facts needed to act; link code with file:line, trim errors to relevant frames, and omit filler, repeated titles, diff inventories, and unnecessary implementation narration. Bugs need numbered reproduction steps; tasks need testable completion criteria.

4. Inspect the payload

Apply the writing-style final compression pass to the exact title and body that will be sent to GitHub. For a bug or task, verify the title is at most 80 characters. Every remaining sentence must add a symptom, impact, reproduction step, observation, expected behavior, or completion criterion.

5. Apply the approval boundary

If the user explicitly asked to file an issue, skip the preview — file it and share the link. If the agent surfaced the issue (not explicitly requested), show the drafted title and body and wait for approval or edits.

6. File the issue

Write the body to a uniquely named temp file, then pass it with --body-file. Do not inline the body with shell substitution (--body "$(cat <<'EOF' ...)") — multiline text can be corrupted by pasted output or escaping mistakes. Do not reuse a fixed path like /tmp/issue-body.md; concurrent agent runs can overwrite each other's drafts on shared hosts.

bash
body_file="$(mktemp "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/issue-body.XXXXXX.md")"
trap 'rm -f "$body_file"' EXIT

cat > "$body_file" <<'EOF'
<body>
EOF

issue_url="$(gh issue create --repo marin-community/marin \
  --title "<title>" \
  --label "agent-generated" \
  --body-file "$body_file")"

Add kind-appropriate labels (bug, experiment). If a relevant label does not exist, skip it rather than creating new labels. For task issues, add a priority label (p1, p2, p3) if the user specifies one or severity is clear.

Before creating the issue, re-open the body file and verify it contains no unrelated shell output (pre-commit logs, pytest session headers, prompt transcripts). If it does, clean the draft before posting.

After creating the issue, fetch its published text with gh issue view "$issue_url" --json title,body and correct any text added or altered by the publishing tool.

7. Report

Print the issue URL.

Questions about File Issue

What does File Issue do?

File a GitHub issue only when explicitly requested or delegated by another selected workflow; do not create issues merely because a problem was found. File Issue is an agent skill from marin-community/marin. File a GitHub issue only when explicitly requested or delegated by another selected workflow; do not create issues merely because a problem was found.

How do I install File Issue in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add marin-community/marin --skill file-issue -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/file-issue in marin-community/marin) into .claude/skills/file-issue in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install File Issue in Codex?

Run `npx skills add marin-community/marin --skill file-issue -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/file-issue in marin-community/marin) into .agents/skills/file-issue in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use File Issue in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add marin-community/marin --skill file-issue -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/file-issue, .gemini/skills/file-issue, .github/skills/file-issue and .opencode/skills/file-issue in your project.

What does File Issue need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, File Issue needs the command-line tools its instructions call (gh).

Does File Issue access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is File Issue safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does File Issue use?

File Issue is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does File Issue use?

About 1.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to File Issue?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with File Issue: PR Babysitter (openinterpreter/openinterpreter, 69k stars), Diagnosing Superpowers Sessions (obra/superpowers, 296k stars), GitHub Deep Research (bytedance/deer-flow, 83k stars) and Greploop (onyx-dot-app/onyx, 32k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains File Issue?

marin-community (a GitHub organization) maintains it in marin-community/marin, which has 3,902 GitHub stars. The repository holds 41 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 8, 2026.
