GitHub Issue Resolver

· v1.0.0

High Risk

Autonomous GitHub Issue Resolver Agent with guardrails. Use when the user wants to discover, analyze, and fix open issues in GitHub repositories. Triggers on requests like "fix GitHub issues", "resolve issues in repo", "work on GitHub bugs", or when the user provides a GitHub repository URL and asks for issue resolution. Supports the full workflow from issue discovery to PR submission with safety guardrails preventing scope creep, unauthorized access, and dangerous operations.

🔒 Containment

Level: maximum

Required:

APPROVE_POST: Can post publicly
SANDBOX_CONTAINER: Code execution capability

Recommended:

LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions

⚡ Risks

Unauthorized tool use: INSTRUCTED_GIT_CLONE_AND_BUILD medium

Mitigation: Use pre-built packages or vendored dependencies instead of cloning repos

Command injection risk: COMMAND_INJECTION_SHELL_TRUE high

Mitigation: Use shell=False and pass commands as lists

Social engineering indicators: SOCIAL_ENG_VAGUE_DESCRIPTION low

Mitigation: Provide clear, detailed description of skill functionality

Data exfiltration patterns: DATA_EXFIL_NETWORK_REQUESTS medium

Mitigation: Ensure network access is necessary and documented
