SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns noisy GitHub issue backlogs into a structured triage workflow, helping you quickly identify priority bugs, duplicates, stale tickets, and issues that need more information.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic issue audit: Categorizes issues, checks labels, estimates age, flags risk, and recommends next actions.
  • PR and duplicate analysis: Cross-references open pull requests, compares issue titles and bodies, and surfaces likely duplicates.
  • Deep analysis and safe execution: Supports opt-in detailed review of selected issues, drafts comments and labels, and requires explicit approval before any GitHub actions are performed.
  • Use case: A maintainer can review an overflowing repository, identify what needs immediate attention, and prepare consistent follow-up messages without manually scanning every ticket.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to run the github-issue-triage workflow for the repository issues you want audited, analyzed, and prepared for review.
