Our review

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"

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 - 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
