Before writing code for a GitHub issue when another session might take the same one, claim it with BOTH an assignee and a `wip` label so a sibling sees it and skips. Trigger on "pick up issue #N", "work through the open issues", "is anyone on this?". Not for filing or reviewing.

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

# GitHub issue claim coordination (assignee + label)

When multiple Claude Code sessions (or human + agent) work the same repo in parallel, two sessions can independently pick up the same issue, do parallel implementations, and collide at PR time — burning hours of duplicated work and forcing one branch to be rebased or abandoned.

**Default agent behaviour is silent.** An agent dispatched to "work on the bug-tagged issues" does not automatically check whether another session is already on issue #N. There's no built-in coordination unless this skill (or equivalent) runs at pickup.

This skill installs a 60-second protocol — preflight check, atomic claim, stale-claim sweep, release on completion — using two GitHub-native primitives so the claim is visible everywhere (issue list UI, `gh issue list`, dashboards, sibling sessions).

## Why both `assignee` AND a `wip` label?

They cost ~0 to set together and cover different failure modes:

- **`assignees`** is GitHub's canonical "who's on this" primitive. `gh issue list --assignee ""` cleanly enumerates unclaimed work; agents tend to surface assignees in their own context without prompting.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wan-huiyan/agent-traffic-control/gh-issue-claim-coordination@sha256:6e0ec2f92cc9ccaf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.05de8be, 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.
