What it does

Create Issue is an agent skill from uw-syfi/vibesys. Investigate, draft, and file well-scoped VibeSys GitHub issues using the repository issue forms and project conventions. Use when a user asks to create, open, or file a bug report, engineering change, expansion scenario or harness, or research experiment issue, or asks to turn findings, TODOs, or proposed work into GitHub issues.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Can AI Agents Build Bespoke Systems? The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A user asks to create
  • File a bug report
  • Engineering change
  • Expansion scenario

Example prompts

  • “/create-issue”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c7784eb. 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.

    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

Create Issue loads about 848 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 403 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~848

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.

Create Issue

Overview

Create issues only after confirming that the work is not already tracked or implemented. Use the same schemas as human reporters, preserve project metadata, and leave prioritization to maintainers.

Workflow

  1. Resolve the repository and requested write scope. If the user asks only for a draft, do not create or modify GitHub state.
  2. Read docs/contributing/issue-authoring.md completely.
  3. Select exactly one matching form and read it completely:
    • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/01-bug.yml
    • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/02-engineering-change.yml
    • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/03-expansion-work.yml
    • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/04-experiment.yml
  4. Search the codebase and both open and closed issues. Check related pull requests when they may show that the behavior is already implemented.
  5. If the request is a duplicate or already implemented, stop before creating an issue. Report the supporting issue, pull request, and code evidence.
  6. Draft an outcome-oriented title and a body with the form's rendered section headings. Keep acceptance criteria observable and testable.
  7. Create the issue through the connected GitHub tooling. Apply the form's labels and redact credentials, tokens, private paths, and sensitive logs.
  8. Add the native parent/sub-issue relationship when a parent is known. A body reference alone is not a substitute for the native relationship.
  9. Verify membership in organization project uw-syfi/1. If auto-add did not add the issue and project write access is available, add it explicitly.
  10. Set Workstream only when the mapping is unambiguous. Do not set Priority, Effort, assignee, Target date, or milestone unless the user explicitly asks or an established maintainer decision already exists.
  11. Re-read the created issue and verify its title, body, labels, project membership, and parent relationship. Return its URL and any metadata that remains for triage.

Authoring Rules

  • Make one issue represent one independently closable outcome.
  • Lead with the problem, evidence, or research question rather than a proposed implementation.
  • State non-goals for work that could otherwise expand without a clear bound.
  • Use checkboxes for acceptance or success criteria.
  • For expansion work, specify externally observable semantics and correctness checks without prescribing an optimization strategy.
  • For experiments, require a decision, baseline, metric, protocol, stopping condition, and retained artifacts.
  • Link related work using native parents, dependencies, and closing keywords where supported.

GitHub Boundaries

Prefer connected GitHub tooling for issue search and creation. Use local gh only for project or hierarchy operations the connector cannot perform. Resolve field and option IDs dynamically; never hard-code project item IDs in reusable commands.

Do not claim that duplicate searches, code inspection, reproduction, or verification occurred unless they actually did.
