At a glance

Creates a GitHub issue or JIRA ticket for a YugabyteDB change or bug, after scrubbing customer data, secrets and unreleased details from anything public.

  • Works in 3 steps: Decide the tracker — GitHub vs JIRA → Gather title metadata → Report back
  • Filing a bug report for YugabyteDB
  • SKILL.md covers Confidentiality — read before…, Prerequisites, Workflow and Notes
  • Calls gh and git

What it does

This skill files a tracking issue and returns its number or JIRA key, so it can feed the create-pr or create-diff steps. A GitHub issue in yugabyte/yugabyte-db is the default for core database code, while a JIRA ticket is the default for YBA and platform work. It is used when no tracker reference exists yet, either before opening a PR or diff or for a standalone bug or feature request.

A long confidentiality section comes first because GitHub issues are public and permanent. Titles, bodies and labels must not contain customer-identifying data, personal information, unanonymized customer schemas or queries, secrets and credentials, or non-public YugabyteDB information such as an unreleased roadmap. Customer reports are read from internal sources with only internal ticket IDs referenced, and a minimal synthetic reproducer replaces real tables and queries. If something might be sensitive, the agent asks you instead of writing it. The allowed tools are gh issue create, gh issue view, gh auth status and Read.

When your agent uses it

  • Filing a bug report for YugabyteDB
  • Getting a tracker reference before opening a PR
  • Turning a customer report into a public issue without leaking customer details

Example prompts

  • “File a GitHub issue for this tablet server crash and scrub anything customer-specific.”
  • “Create a JIRA ticket for the platform upgrade bug we just found.”
  • “I need an issue number for this change before I open the PR.”

Requirements

  • GitHub CLI (gh), authenticated, for GitHub issues
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(gh issue create *), Bash(gh issue view *), Bash(gh auth status), Read

Workflow steps

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

  1. Decide the tracker — GitHub vs JIRA
  2. Gather title metadata
  3. Report back

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cdf582d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(gh issue create *)
    • Bash(gh issue view *)
    • Bash(gh auth status)
    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • git

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • cli.github.com

    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

YugabyteDB Issue Creator loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 994 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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 994 words (~1,970 tokens).

“Create a tracking issue for a YugabyteDB change: either a GitHub issue in yugabyte/yugabyte-db (the default for core DB code) or a JIRA ticket (the default for YBA/platform work). Return the resulting issue number / JIRA key so it can…”
