At a glance

Turns a feature idea or bug description into a drafted GitHub issue with a bilingual body and the right labels, then submits it with gh once you approve.

  • Works in 6 steps: Classify → Investigate the codebase → Read the template → …
  • Filing a feature request in a repository with issue templates
  • SKILL.md covers Input and Steps
  • Calls gh

What it does

The agent classifies the request as a feature request or bug report, investigates the codebase for relevant code and existing behavior, and checks related issues with gh issue list. It reads the matching issue template from .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE and uses its field labels to structure a markdown draft saved under .qwen/issues for review. The draft is written from the user's perspective, avoids internal implementation details, keeps the title in English and puts an English body first with a Chinese translation in a collapsible block.

The draft is shown and revised until you are satisfied, and nothing is submitted without your explicit approval. Then gh issue create posts it with labels: type/feature-request or type/bug, plus status/needs-triage. The issue URL is reported back.

When your agent uses it

  • Filing a feature request in a repository with issue templates
  • Reporting a bug with codebase context included
  • Writing issues with an English body and a Chinese translation

Example prompts

  • “Create an issue for adding a dark mode toggle to the settings page.”
  • “Draft a bug report: the export command hangs when the output folder does not exist.”
  • “File a feature request for a --dry-run flag and show me the draft first.”

Requirements

  • The GitHub CLI (`gh`) with access to the repository
  • Issue templates under .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE

Workflow steps

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

  1. Classify
  2. Investigate the codebase
  3. Read the template
  4. Draft the issue
  5. Review with user
  6. Submit

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4970bfa. 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

Create GitHub Issue loads about 534 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 228 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~534

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.

Draft and submit a GitHub issue from a user idea or bug description, with bilingual body and correct labels.

<feature idea or bug description>

Create Issue

Take the user's idea or bug description, investigate the codebase for context, draft an issue for review, and submit once approved.

Input

The user provides a brief description of a feature request or bug report via the skill argument.

Steps

1. Classify

Determine whether the request is a feature request or a bug report.

2. Investigate the codebase

Search for relevant code, files, and existing behavior related to the request. Build a thorough understanding of how the current system works. Note any related existing issues found via gh issue list --search.

3. Read the template
  • Feature request → read .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml
  • Bug report → read .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml

Use the template's field labels and descriptions to structure the draft.

4. Draft the issue

Write a markdown draft to .qwen/issues/draft-<slug>.md for the user to review.

Rules:

  • Write from the user's perspective — not as an implementation spec.

  • Keep language clear and concise; avoid internal implementation details.

  • Title stays in English only.

  • Bilingual body: English content first, Chinese translation at the end wrapped in a collapsible block:

    markdown
    <details>
    <summary>中文</summary>
    
    (Chinese translation here)
    
    </details>
5. Review with user

Present the draft. Iterate on feedback until the user is satisfied. Do not submit until the user explicitly approves.

6. Submit

When the user confirms, create the issue with gh issue create:

bash
gh issue create --title "..." --body-file .qwen/issues/draft-<slug>.md

Apply labels based on type:

  • Feature request → type/feature-request, status/needs-triage
  • Bug report → type/bug, status/needs-triage

Report the issue URL back to the user.
