What it does

Foreman To Issues is an agent skill from VisionForge-OU/foreman. Break an approved PRD into small, dependency-ordered, vertically-sliced implementation issues written as local files in the Foreman feature directory. Each issue ships a runnable acceptance check and a declared file footprint. No GitHub, no live quizzing of the user — emits files matching Foreman's issue schema with PRD traceability.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Product & Project Management, covering PRD writing. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: A Boris-style agentic orchestrator TUI that supervises headless Claude Code agents through a gated software-delivery pipeline — pointed at any repository.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve PRD writing

Example prompts

  • “/foreman-to-issues”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather context
  2. Explore the codebase
  3. Draft vertical slices
  4. Emit one file per slice

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 92d7f79. 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

Foreman To Issues loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 500 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 500 words (~1,238 tokens).

“(Adapted from mattpocock/skills to-issues — see NOTICE. Removed: all gh CLI usage, GitHub labels/triage vocabulary, and the interactive "quiz the user" loop. Issues are emitted as local files; the human reviews them in Foreman's queue-review screen instead.)”
