SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates backlog chaos by helping you audit open GitHub issues and pull requests and turn them into clear, consistent maintainer actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Disposition classification for issues and PRs: Assign exactly one of MERGE, REQUEST CHANGES, CLOSE, NEEDS DESIGN, APPROVE ISSUE, or REJECT ISSUE based on process rules like issue-first and evidence-based review.
  • Maintainer-stance inference: Use maintainer comments (e.g., MEMBER/OWNER) to calibrate decisions to the project’s real ideology and expected standards.
  • Structured triage report generation: Produce an actionable report with summaries, tables, and suggested comment text tailored to each disposition.

Quick Start

Use the backlog-triage skill to audit the open issues and PRs for a target GitHub repository and generate a disposition report with recommended next actions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate GitHub issue triage and PR review for a large backlog?

Automate GitHub issue triage by classifying open issues and pull requests into actionable dispositions like MERGE, REQUEST CHANGES, or CLOSE using deterministic rules. The skill fetches backlog items via GitHub CLI queries and generates a structured triage report with recommended next steps.

How does automated backlog audit handle maintainer workflow and project standards?

Backlog audit calibrates decisions to project standards by inferring maintainer stance from MEMBER or OWNER comments. This ensures disposition classifications align with the project’s real ideology and expected evidence-based review processes.

What is issue-first enforcement in pull request review automation?

Issue-first enforcement is a triage rule that checks whether a pull request has a linked issue before approval. Automated triage applies this process check alongside CI validation and review status to determine if a PR should be merged or require changes.

Can I generate disposition reports for any GitHub repository using CLI queries?

Yes, you can generate disposition reports for any GitHub project by fetching open backlog items via GitHub CLI queries. The skill applies deterministic triage rules to produce structured outputs with summaries, tables, and suggested comment text.

What is the best way to filter noise and close stale GitHub issues programmatically?

Filter noise and close stale issues by applying deterministic triage rules that evaluate process compliance and maintainer feedback. The skill classifies non-compliant or outdated items as REJECT ISSUE or CLOSE and generates suggested next-step comments.

When should I not use automated triage rules for pull request disposition?

Avoid automated triage rules for pull requests requiring nuanced design discussions or complex architectural decisions. These items are classified as NEEDS DESIGN, indicating that deterministic rules cannot resolve them without human maintainer input.
