| description | Refresh cached Anthropic claude-code issue-form templates and detect drift or new template types. Use when the user says "refresh templates", "update feedback templates", "check for template changes", or when a previous feedback-skill run reported drift. Also discovers newly-added issue-template types in the upstream repo. |
Refreshing cached issue-form templates
This plugin fetches templates live at run time, but also caches copies for offline fallback. This skill refreshes those cached copies and surfaces any template drift or new template types.
Procedure
1. Run the refresh script
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/refresh-templates.sh"
Output lines start with OK, UPDATE, NEW, or NEW TEMPLATE TYPE DETECTED.
2. Interpret output
- OK — no change, skip.
- UPDATE / NEW — cache was refreshed. Show the user the diff if they want (
git diff the templates dir after running, since the plugin repo is checked in).
- NEW TEMPLATE TYPE DETECTED: foo.yml — Anthropic added a new issue form. This plugin doesn't yet have a skill for it. Offer to scaffold a new skill:
- Create
skills/<slug>/templates/<file>.yml and fetch the template.
- Create
skills/<slug>/SKILL.md — copy the structure of skills/bug/SKILL.md and adapt the name, description, URL, and type-specific guidance.
- Note to the user to bump the plugin version and publish.
3. Commit changes
If anything changed and the plugin repo is a git checkout, offer to commit + push:
cd "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}"
git add skills/*/templates/
git commit -m "chore: refresh cached issue-form templates"
git push
Commit all changes and push — don't leave template drift sitting uncommitted locally.
4. Report
Tell the user:
- Which templates updated (with a short description of what changed, from the diff).
- Whether new template types were detected (and whether a scaffold is needed).
- Whether the plugin repo was committed/pushed.
