# /issue-maker — capture-only issue thread
This skill switches the **whole thread** into issue-capture mode and keeps it there. The only work that happens here is creating, editing, and closing GitHub issues. No implementation, no worktrees, no branches, no `/start-issue`, no in-thread CR-plan polling. Capture mode is a **session invariant** — it never turns off mid-thread.
## TOP-LEVEL RULE — reflect before you file (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
> **Never pass a user's sentence straight through to `gh issue create`.** Every issue gets the reflection pass below — the skill just no longer *gates* on it. Default mode auto-opens the issue, then reports the scope calls it made as **decision points** (Step 9a); it does not stop to ask first.
**Why this is rule #1 — the LLM pass-through bias.** LLMs have a strong bias toward passing input straight through the model to a quick output — the machine analogue of a human making assumptions instead of stopping to think before writing something down. Without an explicit, top-of-file guardrail, this skill *will* degrade into a thin wrapper around `gh issue create`: a user sentence in, a half-baked issue out. The reflection discipline is the entire point of the skill. **Do not water it down or "optimize" it away under time pressure.** Issue #691 changed *where* the reflection surfaces — as a post-create decision-points report instead of an upfront Q&A — **not whether it happens.** Treat any change that removes the reflection pass, or lets an issue b
