Use when the user asks to validate a GitHub issue and then autonomously drive it to a reviewed PR in one shot — "validate and work on this issue", "validate-issue-loop", "fully automate issue #N". Runs validate-issue, auto-applies its update-issue edits when the verdict calls for it, then hands off to work-on-issue-loop with no plan stage — stopping instead when validation flags the issue as too large, architecturally infeasible, or already addressed by an existing PR, or recommended for…

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

# validate-issue-loop

Chain validate-issue → (conditional) update issue → work-on-issue-loop into one autonomous run. Where validate-issue's `→` next-step line would wait for the user's reply, read the verdict yourself and decide the next step.

**Do not skip validation.** Every step of validate-issue still runs; only the "wait for the user's reply" step is replaced by the decision rules below.

## Input

Same as fable-validate-loop, including the optional `targetBranch`.

## Steps

Follow **fable-validate-loop steps 1 through 3**, which own the verdict block, the `owner/repo#N` record, the stop table, and the edit step with its landing check, with these changes:

**Step 1 (validation):** invoke the plain `validate-issue` skill (Skill tool, `skill: validate-issue`) in place of `fable-validate`. Let it run its full process, steps 0 through 8, and parse the verdict block that fable-validate-loop step 1 quotes. Its final `→` next-step line is written for interactive use, so treat the verdict as structured output and decide from the step 2 table. Record the resolved issue as `owner/repo#N` per fable-validate-loop step 1.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add richkuo/rk-skills/validate-issue-loop@sha256:7f7a1b7175822e0f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.61bf5e6, 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.
