What it does

Issue Workflow is an agent skill from wp-media/wp-rocket. Work on a GitHub issue by number for wp-media/wp-rocket. Fetches the issue and hands control to the orchestrator skill (running inline in this conversation), which manages grooming, spec review, implementation, lead review, CI, and QA end-to-end.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts (for example `refs/pr-template.md`, `scripts/init-pr-draft.sh` and `scripts/issue-sync.sh`).

It works with GitHub, WordPress, Model Context Protocol and Bash. The repository describes itself as: Performance optimization plugin for WordPress. The licence is GPL-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/issue-workflow”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Extract the issue number from the user's message.
  2. Fetch the issue — run bash .claude/skills/issue-workflow/scripts/issue-sync.sh (or use the MCP equivalent). Read the resulting file at…
  3. Check for parent epics — if Parent Epic (GitHub) or Parent Epics (Task List) has entries, sync each parent with issue-sync.sh and read…
  4. Check if this is an Epic — if the issue has label epics, Issue Type EPIC, or has sub-issues listed, ask the user: "Work the epic as a…
  5. Determine base branch — default is origin/develop unless the user specified otherwise.
  6. Invoke the orchestrator skill inline (do not spawn it as a sub-agent — it runs in this conversation context so it can read the user's…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3a96b66. 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

    Ships 4 files in scripts/ (Shell and JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash
    • git
    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and 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

Issue Workflow loads about 756 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 337 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~756

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Work on a GitHub issue by number for wp-media/wp-rocket. Fetches the issue and hands control to the orchestrator skill (running inline in this conversation), which manages grooming, spec review, implementation, lead review, CI, and QA end-to-end.

Issue Workflow

Repository: wp-media/wp-rocket

When the user asks to work on an issue by number, such as:

  • /task 123
  • issue 123
  • #123

follow this workflow. The orchestrator runs inline in this conversation — read the user's opening message before kicking it off, since it uses that for escalation calibration (high autonomy / standard / high oversight).

Tooling

Use shell commands as the primary approach. The GitHub MCP (mcp_github_*) may be used if it is connected — but shell is always the safe fallback and is preferred for reliability.

OperationShell (primary)GitHub MCP (if connected)
Issue fetchbash .claude/skills/issue-workflow/scripts/issue-sync.sh <N>mcp_github_github_issue_read
Branch creationbash .claude/skills/issue-workflow/scripts/make-issue-branch.sh—
Staging & committinggit add / git commit—
Pushinggit push -u origin <branch>—
PR creationgh pr createmcp_github_github_create_pull_request
CI monitoringgh pr checks <PR#>mcp_github_github_pull_request_read

Steps

  1. Extract the issue number from the user's message.

  2. Fetch the issue — run bash .claude/skills/issue-workflow/scripts/issue-sync.sh <N> (or use the MCP equivalent). Read the resulting file at .TemporaryItems/Issues/wp-rocket/issues/<N>.md.

  3. Check for parent epics — if Parent Epic (GitHub) or Parent Epics (Task List) has entries, sync each parent with issue-sync.sh <epic-N> and read those files for context.

  4. Check if this is an Epic — if the issue has label epics, Issue Type EPIC, or has sub-issues listed, ask the user: "Work the epic as a whole, or a specific sub-issue?" If a sub-issue is chosen, sync it and proceed with the epic context in mind.

  5. Determine base branch — default is origin/develop unless the user specified otherwise.

  6. Invoke the orchestrator skill inline (do not spawn it as a sub-agent — it runs in this conversation context so it can read the user's intent for escalation calibration):

    Inputs: issue number N, issue file .TemporaryItems/Issues/wp-rocket/issues/<N>.md, base branch

The orchestrator skill manages everything from here: calibration → grooming → spec review → dispatch → implementation → lead review → push & PR → CI → QA → finalize. It spawns the specialist agents (grooming-agent, challenger, backend-agent, frontend-agent, release-agent, lead-reviewer, qa-engineer, ticket-writer) as isolated sub-agents, but the orchestrator itself stays inline so it can surface decisions back to the user naturally.
