What it does

Positron Issue Creator is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. This skill should be used when drafting GitHub issues for the Positron repository. It provides workflows for searching duplicates, selecting appropriate labels, gathering complete context through questioning, and writing terse, fluff-free issues that precisely describe what is needed or wrong. The skill prepares issues for manual submission by the user. Use this skill when the user asks to draft or prepare an issue for Positron.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Issue triage. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: An unappealing collection of Claude Skills and resources.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to draft
  • Prepare an issue for Positron

Example prompts

  • “/positron-issue-creator”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather Complete Context
  2. Search for Duplicates
  3. Select Appropriate Labels
  4. Draft the Issue
  5. Present Draft to User
  6. Prepare Issue for Manual Submission

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1056d29. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Positron Issue Creator loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,572 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~114
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.7k

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 1,572 words (~3,678 tokens).

“This skill guides the drafting of high-quality GitHub issues for the Positron IDE repository. It ensures issues are:”
