What it does
Gh Issue Specifier is an agent skill from POW-Software/ByteSync. Analyze a GitHub issue in depth and produce a detailed specification based on codebase analysis. Use when given a GitHub issue URL or number and asked to deeply analyze requirements, scan the repository, and write a structured spec (no code changes).
Its SKILL.md is about 640 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, covering Codebase onboarding. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: ByteSync is a free and open-source tool for file synchronization, backup, and deduplication. It works locally or remotely, with no VPNs or firewall configuration required… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Given a GitHub issue URL
- Number and asked to deeply analyze requirements
- Scan the repository
- Write a structured spec (no code changes)
Example prompts
- “/gh-issue-specifier”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 397a1d1. 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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
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
Gh Issue Specifier loads about 643 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 308 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Gh Issue Specifier
Overview
Build a deep, code-informed specification from a GitHub issue using gh CLI and targeted repository analysis. Ask clarifying questions when needed, then deliver a structured, implementation-ready spec.
Workflow
- Parse the issue target
- Accept a full GitHub issue URL or an issue number.
- Resolve owner/repo from the URL when provided.
- If only a number is provided, ask which repo to use.
- Fetch issue details via gh
- Always use
gh issue view <number> --repo <owner>/<repo>. - Capture title, body, labels, and comments.
- Scan the codebase deeply
- Use
rgfor fast discovery (types, references, UI strings, tests, configs). - Open and read relevant files with
Get-Content. - Trace the end-to-end flow: entry points -> services -> domain -> storage -> UI.
- Identify existing validations, error handling, localization, and logging patterns.
- Identify gaps and impacts
- What is missing relative to the issue requirements?
- Which modules and layers must change?
- What new tests are required and where?
- Identify risk areas and backward compatibility issues.
- Ask clarifying questions when needed
- Ask only the minimum set of questions to disambiguate scope, UX, or behavior.
- If no questions are needed, proceed directly to the spec.
- Produce the specification
- Provide a clear, structured spec with concrete behaviors and impacted areas.
- Do not propose code or patches.
Required Spec Format
Include these sections in order:
- Summary
- Scope (In/Out)
- Functional Requirements
- Non-Functional Requirements
- UX / Messaging / Localization
- Logging / Telemetry
- Edge Cases / Error Handling
- Affected Components (files/areas)
- Test Plan (unit/integration/e2e)
- Migration / Compatibility (if applicable)
- Open Questions
- Risks
Operational Notes
- Always use
gh issue view(no browser). - Always use
rgfor discovery before opening files. - Prefer short file excerpts and paraphrase; avoid pasting large blocks.
- Keep the spec actionable and grounded in the current codebase.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Analyze issue 260 and write a detailed spec"
- "Deeply analyze this GitHub issue and the codebase"
- "Create a specification from https://github.com/
<org>/<repo>/issues/<id>"
