SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams respond to unanswered GitHub community issues and discussions by drafting high-quality replies safely, while ensuring a mandatory human review gate before anything is posted.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PAO draft-only workflow with a human review gate: Scans issues and discussions, drafts responses, and presents a structured review table for approval without autonomous posting.
  • Thread-aware classification and templated drafting: Selects a response type (e.g., troubleshooting, welcome, redirect, closing) and uses one matching template as the base draft.
  • Coverage verification and audit logging: Performs thread-read verification (including comment-count and deleted-comment checks) and logs every action to .squad/comms/audit/ for traceability.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run the “PAO, check community” workflow for Phase 1 so it scans open issues and discussions from the last 7 days, drafts responses in draft-only mode, and outputs the review table for human approval.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft responses for unanswered GitHub issues without autonomous posting?

What is the best way to automate community management triage for GitHub discussions?

The best way to automate community management triage for GitHub discussions is using a workflow that scans open items from the last 7 days, classifies thread context, and drafts welcome messages or troubleshooting help for human review.

Does the GitHub issue triage workflow verify deleted comments before drafting a reply?

Yes, the GitHub issue triage workflow verifies deleted comments before drafting a reply. It performs mandatory thread-read verification, including comment-count and deleted-comment checks, to ensure full context coverage before generating a response.

How do I ensure safe, human-reviewed responses for GitHub community communication?

You ensure safe, human-reviewed responses for GitHub community communication by applying confidence classification with auto-escalation rules. This process drafts replies and forces a human review gate for low-confidence items, logging every action to an audit directory.

Can I use template-based guidance to draft closing updates and redirects for GitHub threads?

Yes, you can use template-based guidance to draft closing updates and redirects for GitHub threads. The workflow selects a matching response type, such as redirect or closing, and uses that specific template as the base draft for your review.

What are the limitations of using an automated draft-only workflow for GitHub issue triage?

A limitation of using an automated draft-only workflow for GitHub issue triage is that it cannot post responses autonomously. It requires a mandatory human review gate to approve drafted replies, meaning manual intervention is always needed before posting.
