github-issue-query

You can query GitHub issues using jq filters by running a CLI workflow that leverages the gh CLI to fetch issues and jq to shape the extracted data, returning fields like number, title, state, author, and labels.

A schema-first query mode for GitHub issues returns issue metadata and data size before applying filters, helping you understand the dataset structure and decide which jq expressions to use for targeted data retrieval.

Yes, you need both the gh CLI and jq installed to extract GitHub issue data, because the workflow relies on gh to fetch repository issues and jq to perform the data-filtering and field extraction.

You can filter open GitHub issues by label and author for triage by applying a jq expression to the fetched issues, allowing you to extract a compact summary of specific fields like number, title, state, and assignees.

The best way to reduce noise when reviewing GitHub repository issues is to use a jq filter to extract only the desired fields, transforming the full dataset into a compact, targeted view for efficient triage.
