What it does

GitHub Issue Writer is an agent skill from Th4nat0s/Chall_Tools. Analyze a problem description against the current repository, draft a repository-aware GitHub issue in English, and create it using the GH tool. Use when the user enters ghissue or ghadd followed by a problem description; quotation marks are optional when the remaining input is one description.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Tools for security challenges.

When your agent uses it

  • The user enters ghissue
  • Ghadd followed by a problem description
  • Quotation marks are optional when the remaining input is one description

Example prompts

  • “/github-issue-writer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Parse the command alias and complete problem description. Extract explicit constraints, expected behavior, affected components, and…
  2. Identify the repository with GH. Stop if owner, repo, or default branch cannot be confirmed.
  3. Search related issues and PRs with important terms from the description, relevant file names, symbols, error messages, and config…
  4. Do not create a duplicate when an equivalent active issue exists. If likely duplicate equivalence is uncertain, report it instead of…
  5. Inspect current repository implementation through GH. Confirm current behavior, abstractions, conventions, validation, error handling…
  6. Classify required change: new code, modified code, removal, refactor, config, deployment, infrastructure, DB/schema, API, docs, tests…
  7. Analyze relevant risks only: compatibility, security, authn/authz, data integrity, resource use, concurrency, performance, failure…
  8. Draft concise English title and structured Markdown body using the required template.
  9. Create the issue with GH only when repository identification, repo inspection, duplicate checks, and authorization all succeed.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 259e5ce. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    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

GitHub Issue Writer loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 574 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 574 words (~1,738 tokens).
