Access and checks

How we review

Extended accessThe tool runs code or makes network calls and only reads external data.

  • The utility uses GitHub tokens and a paid model provider key.
  • On request Codex can change third-party code and open pull requests in your name.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

Issue Finder is a Rust `issue-finder` utility plus an `issue-finder-cli` skill for Codex. The utility exposes two tools: `scout` searches and ranks issues using a GitHub query and an interest profile, `assess` collects evidence for a chosen task. During `scout` a small model answers seven fixed questions about each task before final selection. Codex then takes over: it prepares a workspace, reproduces the bug, fixes it, validates and, with permission, opens a pull request. No separate MCP server is needed. The model provider is set in `[decision].provider`: Alibaba, Cloudflare or a `codex` fallback, with no silent switching.

Who it is for. Developers who want to contribute to open source and look for issues matching their stack. Needs Codex, a GitHub token and a model provider key.

Good fit when

  • Five fresh Rust issues for CLI tools are wanted.
  • Before work, a check that the issue is still open and unclaimed.
  • A link to an issue is given, to be assessed and taken to a pull request.
  • A shortlist across several projects without searching GitHub by hand.

Not a fit when

  • Your own team's task tracker is needed, not a search over other repositories.
  • There is no model provider key and `scout` does not work without one.
  • Automatic pull requests to other projects without your decision.

Example request

Use the issue-finder-cli skill and recommend five issues for my Rust and developer-tools stack, without changes.

Limitations

Needs Git, a compatible `issue-finder` binary with `sessionContractVersion: 2` and provider credentials: `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY` and an endpoint for Alibaba, a token and account ID for Cloudflare. For GitHub use `GH_TOKEN`; `GITHUB_TOKEN` is not read. Paid model calls are billed by the provider. Task text on GitHub is treated as data, not instructions. The skill does not replace human judgment: the user chooses what to fix and send as a pull request.

How to disable. Remove the link or the `issue-finder-cli` folder from `.agents/skills` or `~/.agents/skills`, then run `cargo uninstall issue-finder`. Delete state in `~/.issue-finder` by hand.

FAQ

Which tools does the utility have?

Two: `issue-finder.scout` for search and ranking and `issue-finder.assess` for evaluating a chosen task. Codex does the rest.

Is an MCP server needed?

No. The skill calls the utility with `issue-finder tools call` and no dispatcher setup is required.

Which variable does GitHub need?

`GH_TOKEN`. The utility does not read `GITHUB_TOKEN`; without a token it falls back to a stored `gh` login.

How do I verify the install?

Run `issue-finder tools --profile session list` and `issue-finder decision-check`. The catalog must report contract version 2.

What does Codex do after a task is chosen?

It prepares a workspace, reproduces the bug, fixes it, validates and opens a pull request if you allowed it. The utility only supplies search and evidence.

README in short

The skill is limited to search and assessment through `scout` and `assess`. Fixing, validation and the pull request stay with the main agent session.
