Use when the user says "work on issue", "implement issue", "/work-on-issue", or asks to implement a GitHub issue end-to-end (not merely validate it). Takes an issue URL or number (defaults to the just-validated issue). Implements in an isolated worktree, verifies, commits, pushes, and opens a PR that closes the issue.
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
# work-on-issue
Take the issue to a verified open pull request (PR). CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md owns engineering, attribution, and Response Style rules. Never pause to ask: report at the end, or stop and report on a failed gate.
## Input
Issue number, URL, `owner/repo#N`, or `{ issue, targetBranch?, baseRefs?: [{ pr, ref, sha }, ...], validatedAt? }`. None given: use the issue validated or planned this session, else stop and ask; never pick from a list. `targetBranch` also takes prose ("target branch develop"); `baseRefs` pins reviewed predecessor heads in caller order; `validatedAt` is the issue `updatedAt` a caller's validation in another agent session read (`validate-issue` step 1).
## Steps
### 0. Resolve the issue, gate-check it, and detect a plan
Use a clone whose remotes match the issue's repository; pass `-R <owner>/<repo>` to every `gh` call. Before any mutation, read the full body and all comments (`gh issue view <N> --comments`, paginated).

How to install
mdr add richkuo/rk-skills/work-on-issue@sha256:12d6aa9884da3ca5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.4c6da76, 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.
