Investigate GitHub issues without changing code. An agent skill from videojs/video.js.

  • Works in 7 steps: Fetch every referenced issue, comments,… → Restate the observable problem,… → Inspect the relevant code, tests,… → …
  • Asked to analyze
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Produce an evidence-backed implementation plan

What it does

Investigate Issue is an agent skill from videojs/video.js. Investigate GitHub issues without changing code. Use when asked to analyze, diagnose, scope, or produce an evidence-backed implementation plan.

Its SKILL.md is about 320 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 Agent Workflows, covering Planning. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Video.js v10 - open source media player framework for HTML and React.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to analyze
  • Produce an evidence-backed implementation plan

Example prompts

  • “/investigate-issue”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Fetch every referenced issue, comments, labels, and linked PRs or discussions.
  2. Restate the observable problem, constraints, and acceptance criteria; identify missing or conflicting information.
  3. Inspect the relevant code, tests, history, and nearest AGENTS.md before forming a root-cause hypothesis.
  4. Apply domain-specific constraints only when the affected code or acceptance criteria make them material.
  5. Distinguish verified cause, likely inference, and open question.
  6. Produce a sequenced plan with files/surfaces, behavior changes, tests, compatibility risks, and documentation impact.
  7. Link the source issues and relevant repository evidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 48f79b8. 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

Investigate Issue loads about 318 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 145 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~318

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 145 words (~318 tokens).
