Logs, promotes, ranks, synthesizes and audits GitHub issues with dry-run-first, deduplicated, taxonomy-validated and secret-redacted payloads. Use to log repository friction, bugs or map debt as issues, promote a local tasks/*.md note to an issue, rank issues P0-P3, draft a systemic refactoring proposal from friction clusters, or audit whether closed issues were genuinely resolved, or produce a GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) report. Not for worktrees or the issue-to-PR flow…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Managing GitHub Issues (`managing-github-issues`)

Create, promote, rank, propose and audit issues; report on GHAS without publishing changes.

## Contents

- [Constraints](#constraints) • [Quick Start](#quick-start) • [Modes](#modes) • [Workflow](#workflow) • [Verification](#verification) • [References](#references)

## Constraints

- **Dry-run first**: every mutating script previews its payload; pass `--execute` only after review.
- **Redaction and taxonomy gates**: `redaction_gate.py` blocks secrets; labels need `type:*`, `tier:*`, `source:*`, `risk:*` and `area:*` or `plugin:*`.
- **Body sections**: `## Summary`, `## Observed Behavior`, `## Expected Behavior`, `## Evidence`, `## Impact`.
- **Human gates**: `propose-refactor` never creates branches, commits or PRs; `review-resolution` is read-only and never reopens or relabels.
- **Ledger**: friction history lives in the repository's `map-debt.md` (repository root, references folder).

## Quick Start

```bash
python3 scripts/gh_issue_search.py --title "Bug summary" --area-label "area:dev-utils"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add richfrem/agent-plugins-skills/managing-github-issues@sha256:c29882bd66360248

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.3f0c0ba, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
