Plugin Issues Management

Manage the structured ISSUES.md file for any Claude Code plugin.

Parse Arguments

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

• First positional (optional): Path to plugin directory. Default: current working directory.
• --init: Create a new ISSUES.md
• --add: Add a new issue (prompts for details)
• --resolve ISSUE-NNN: Mark as resolved
• --update ISSUE-NNN: Update an existing issue
• --list: List all issues (default if no flag)

Cache guard: ~/.claude/plugins/cache/ is READ-ONLY. Resolve to the real git repo via atlas: atlas_search_projects(query="plugin-name").

--init: Initialize ISSUES.md

Skip if exists. Create at plugin root:

# Plugin Issues

<!-- Managed by /plugin-ops:issues — see knowledge/lifecycle-formats.md for format -->

No issues tracked yet.

--list: List Issues

Read ISSUES.md, display summary:

Plugin: {name} — {count} issues ({open} open, {resolved} resolved)

| ID | Status | Severity | Title |
|----|--------|----------|-------|

--add: Add New Issue

Extract from context first — only prompt for missing fields. The user often provides details inline (e.g. "log issue: X should not require Y"). Check conversation context for:

1. Title: Short problem description. Default if inferable.
2. Severity: critical/major/minor/enhancement. Default: minor.
3. Context: How discovered. Default: "Reported during development".
4. Description: What's wrong. Default if inferable.

If all 4 are clear from context, write directly — no prompts needed. Auto-create ISSUES.md if missing.

Format from knowledge/lifecycle-formats.md:

## ISSUE-{NNN}: {Title}
- **Status**: open
- **Severity**: {severity}
- **Found**: {today YYYY-MM-DD}
- **Resolved**: —
- **Context**: {context}
- **Description**: {description}
- **Resolution**: —
- **Notes**:

--resolve ISSUE-NNN

Find issue, update: status → resolved, set resolved date, set resolution description (ask user).

--update ISSUE-NNN

Find issue, ask what to update: status, notes, severity, or description. Apply with Edit tool.

Error Handling

• No ISSUES.md + not --init/--add: suggest --init
• Issue ID not found: list available IDs
• Malformed ISSUES.md: warn and parse what's available
