Automated summary

Creates a new ticket (bug, feature, migration, tech debt) with a unique ID and syncs it with a project brain.

Strengths

  • Automatically generates a unique ID and structured brief file from a template.
  • Supports multiple ticket types with dedicated prefixes.
  • Syncs the brief with an external project management system (igris-brain MCP) if available.

Limitations

  • Requires a specific folder structure (ai/briefs/).
  • MCP synchronization is optional and depends on server availability.
  • Does not create tasks or start implementation.
When to use it

To quickly register an idea, bug, or task in a standardized format for later tracking.

When not to use it

For informal notes that don't need tracking or prioritization.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score88/100

The skill only reads templates, scans directories with Glob, writes a brief file, and optionally syncs via MCP. The single bash command suppresses errors and emits a tracking event; it does not execute destructive or exfiltrating actions. No network calls beyond the optional MCP sync, which is a legitimate integration.

Examples

Register a bug
/register bug "Login button not working on mobile"
Register a feature request
/register feature "Add dark mode toggle"
Register a tech debt without type
/register "Refactor authentication module"

name: register description: Create a new brief - usage: /register bug|feature|migration|debt "title" disable-model-invocation: false allowed-tools:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Glob triggers:
  • "REGISTER"
  • "register a bug"
  • "register a feature"

REGISTER - Create New Brief

Register a new brief for tracking bugs, features, migrations, or technical debt.

Usage

/register bug "Title of the bug"
/register feature "Title of the feature"
/register migration "Title of migration"
/register debt "Title of technical debt"

Or without type (will prompt):

/register "Brief title"

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS format: [type] "title" or just "title"

Types and their prefixes:

  • bug or feature → BR-XXX
  • migration → MG-XXX
  • debt → TD-XXX
  • testing → TS-XXX
  • process → PI-XXX
  • request → FR-XXX
  • dependency → DU-XXX
  • performance → PF-XXX
  • architecture → AC-XXX

Execution

0. Track Invocation

Silently emit a skill invocation event (never blocks execution):

bash "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/scripts/emit_skill_event.sh" "register" 2>/dev/null || true

1. Parse Arguments

Extract type and title from $ARGUMENTS. If type not specified, ask user which type.

2. Determine Prefix

Map type to brief prefix: | Type | Prefix | |------|--------| | bug, feature | BR | | migration | MG | | debt | TD | | testing | TS | | process | PI | | request | FR | | dependency | DU | | performance | PF | | architecture | AC |

3. Find Next Available Number

Scan ai/briefs/ for existing briefs with this prefix. Find highest number, add 1. Example: If BR-007 exists, next is BR-008.

4. Read Template

Read template from ai/briefs/{PREFIX}-TEMPLATE.md. Fallback to ai/briefs/BR-TEMPLATE.md if specific template not found.

5. Create Brief File

Create ai/briefs/{PREFIX}-{XXX}-{slug}.md:

  • Fill in title from arguments
  • Set Status: Ready (or Draft if info incomplete)
  • Set Priority: P2 (default, can be changed)
  • Set Created date: today
  • Leave other fields for user to complete

6. Handle P0/P1 Priority

If user specifies P0 or P1 priority, also add entry to ai/session/BLOCKERS.md.

7. Sync Brief to Brain

If the igris-brain MCP server is available, call igris_brief_sync with:

  • project: current project slug (derive from directory name or brain registry)
  • brief_id: the new brief ID (e.g., "FR-031")
  • brief_type: type from the brief (feature, bug, tech_debt, migration, testing, process, dependency, performance, architecture)
  • title: the brief title
  • status: "Ready" (or "Draft" if incomplete)
  • priority: the assigned priority (e.g., "P2")
  • effort: the assigned effort (e.g., "S", "M", "L", "XL") if known
  • phase: "INIT"

If brain MCP is not available, skip silently. No errors.

8. Confirm Registration

Display:

Brief registered: {PREFIX}-{XXX}

File: ai/briefs/{PREFIX}-{XXX}-{slug}.md
Type: [Bug Fix | Feature | Migration | etc.]
Priority: P2 (default)
Status: Ready

To implement: /hunt {PREFIX}-{XXX}
To change priority: "change {PREFIX}-{XXX} priority to P0"

Important

  • DO NOT load context files
  • DO NOT start implementation
  • DO NOT create tasks
  • ONLY create the brief file and sync to brain

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/register-create-new-brief-mm78nnkv/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/register-create-new-brief-mm78nnkv' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/register-create-new-brief-mm78nnkv/download' --output '.skill-downloads/register-create-new-brief-mm78nnkv/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/register-create-new-brief-mm78nnkv/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/register-create-new-brief-mm78nnkv/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

This file does not provide a usable name/description header for this native procedure. It remains available to download and inspect; use the manual method below.

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/register-create-new-brief-mm78nnkv/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
