issue worker: analyze open GitHub issues and take each one from backlog to a PR opened to main — Hermes verifies at HEAD and runs the decision quiz, then 1 issue → 1 Orca worktree → Grok Build implements → Hermes verifies → Hermes pushes branch + opens a (draft) PR to main → close/reopen the issue per result. Never merges. Takes EXISTING issues to PRs; does not create issues (that is /issue-maker's domain). CRUD recipes stay as reference only; the spine is verify → decide → isolate → delegate → verify → PR.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Read only the winning lane's references.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Issue Worker — issue → PR
End-to-end skill for GitHub issue work: analyze issues to create PRs. The spine is verify at HEAD → decide → 1 issue → 1 Orca worktree → Grok Build implements → Hermes verifies → Hermes pushes branch + opens a (draft) PR to main → close/reopen the issue per result. This file is the lane identification step only; the working method lives in references/hermes/ and references/grok/.
Global Rules
The lane is determined from a physical signal, not by self-identification. Each agent's launcher stamps a fixed attribution env var into every command it runs; the model cannot set these.
if [[ -n "${HERMES_AGENT:-}" ]]; then echo HERMES
elif [[ -n "${GROK_AGENT:-}" ]]; then echo GROK
else echo UNSET; fiHERMES→ Hermes lane. Readreferences/hermes/. Stop.GROK→ Grok lane. Readreferences/grok/. Stop.UNSET→ stop and report. Do not guess the lane.
Marker provenance:
- Hermes re-exports
AI_AGENT=hermes-agentandHERMES_AGENT=trueon every command. - Grok Build runs with
GROK_AGENT=1.
Read only the winning lane's references. Do not read the other lane's.
Routing
Hermes lane (Steps 0–3)
| Step | Reference | Purpose |
| 0 | references/hermes/step-0-triage-and-spawn.md | Verify claims at HEAD per issue; ask the decision quiz; spawn one Grok worktree per still-broken issue and drop the brief |
| 1 | references/hermes/step-1-wait-and-verify.md | Wait for each Grok session; verify commits, code, and re-run the symptom repro in that worktree |
| 2 | references/hermes/step-2-ship-and-close.md | Push each verified branch, open one draft PR per issue; close verified-on-main issues with evidence; rebase still-open branches |
| 3 | references/hermes/step-3-final-report.md | Final report: verdicts, evidence, PRs, closed issues, failed items, worktree teardown |
Grok lane (Steps 4–10, run by Grok Build per issue)
| Step | Reference | Purpose | |
| 4 | references/grok/step-4-verify-triage.md | Load and triage: verify every claim at HEAD before closing. | |
| 5 | references/grok/step-5-validate.md | Validate issue state before deciding — rejects stale/fake/duplicate/already-fixed issues. | |
| 6 | references/grok/step-6-decision-quiz.md | Decision quiz before implementation: collect all open questions, ask in one interactive quiz with concrete recommended options first. | |
| 7 | references/grok/step-7-fanout.md | Fan-out setup: 1 issue → 1 Orca worktree → 1 owner; child brief contract. | |
| 8 | references/grok/step-8-build-isolation.md | Build isolation per worktree. | |
| 9 | references/grok/step-9-waves-verify.md | Run waves, verify children (report files changed, mechanism, verification output, commit SHA). | |
| 10 | references/grok/step-10-rebase.md | Rebase still-open worktree branches onto the default tip after PRs land. | |
| 1 | references/grok/step-1-viewing.md | Auxiliary: list, search, view issues (gh + curl). | |
| 2 | references/grok/step-2-managing.md | Auxiliary: label, assign, comment, close/reopen, link to PRs, branch from issue. | |
| 3 | references/grok/step-3-triage-bulk.md | Auxiliary: issue triage workflow and bulk label/close operations. | |
| 0 | references/grok/step-0-setup.md | Prerequisites, auth detection, gh-env.sh helper sourcing. |
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
