Github Issue Triager

Automate GitHub issue triage by classifying issue types, assigning labels, detecting duplicates, and routing ownership to the correct team. This ensures consistent SLA-style handling without manual sorting.

Duplicate detection for GitHub issues compares new submissions to open and recently closed items using text similarity and template matching. Potential matches are linked with explanations, and the newer duplicate is closed to consolidate reports.

Yes, you can auto-assign issue priority from P0 to P4 using clear production-impact criteria. The system routes ownership by considering current team workload and PTO, with built-in escalation support for urgent P0 and P1 tickets.

Yes, automated triage requires GitHub API read and write actions for issues, labels, assignees, and comments. These permissions allow the system to apply component and platform tags and post structured triage comments.

Generate weekly reports on backlog health by summarizing triage metrics and escalation flags from the week's issue routing. This provides ongoing engineering support workflows with visibility into priority distribution and unresolved items.

Avoid automated issue triage if your repository lacks consistent issue templates or requires highly subjective, context-heavy manual evaluation that cannot be resolved by text similarity and standard production-impact priority criteria.
