What it does

Zoonk Issue Planning is an agent skill from zoonk/zoonk. Break work into GitHub issues, epics, or dependencies when the user explicitly requests an issue breakdown.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 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 User stories. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Turn any topic into clear, structured lessons. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Explicitly requests an issue breakdown
  • Tasks that involve User stories

Example prompts

  • “/zoonk-issue-planning”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6d96be. 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

Zoonk Issue Planning loads about 707 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 376 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~707

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.

Issue planning

Produce a coherent breakdown of the requested work into independently reviewable outcomes. This skill applies to explicit issue planning; ordinary feature implementation or recording a single problem does not require an epic.

Boundaries and size

  • Group changes that must ship together, including their types, migrations, and relevant tests. Keep one source of truth for shared contracts and respect the repository's core/app boundaries.
  • Prefer small issues that can be implemented and reviewed coherently. Treat estimated line count as a sizing signal, not a hard limit; do not split one capability solely to fit a quota.
  • Split at real feature, resource, or integration boundaries. Related endpoints can share an issue when they form one capability; do not prescribe one issue per endpoint.
  • Keep testing and verification with the implementation they establish. Do not create separate generic testing or verification issues. A task specifically about a testing defect can stand on its own.
  • Use sub-epics only when a substantial domain benefits from its own tracking. Avoid empty hierarchy around a few tasks.

Dependencies

Add a dependency when one deliverable is required by another, integration cannot proceed without it, or simultaneous changes would conflict. Leave independent work unblocked. Inspect actual contracts rather than automatically making all frontend work wait for all backend work.

Use local identifiers or spec filenames in drafts, such as api-search or 02-course-search.md. Do not use #123 for local numbering; GitHub assigns issue numbers later. Preserve a local-identifier-to-GitHub-number mapping if the plan is published.

Deliverable and authorization

For each planned issue, give its intended outcome and real dependencies; include verification in a requested implementation plan in proportion to the change. Use a compact list or table, adding a dependency diagram only when it clarifies the work.

For published issue bodies, follow zoonk-github-issues: preserve the problem and desired outcome rather than copying internal estimates, temporary paths, or a generic implementation checklist. Add technical detail when the user requested a specification; keep the parent epic focused on the overall problem.

A request to plan ends with a reviewable plan. If the user also asked to create the issues, proceed through that authorized publication using the GitHub issue skill without requiring a second planning approval. Do not assign owners, add time estimates, or change product scope unless requested.
