SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill triages GitHub issues to determine what to work on next, enforcing hygiene checks, identifying actionable items, prioritizing by severity and age, and dispatching work to the issue-handler.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hygiene verification: ensures issues have a project board status and that labels match their status.
  • Actionable prioritization: categorizes issues into Actionable, Blocked, Backlog, and Needs QA, then prioritizes for dispatch.
  • Downstream orchestration: invokes the issue-handler for each actionable item and maintains a structured dispatch report.
  • Flexible triggers: supports manual checks, automated maintenance, and post-intake workflows across per-project queues.

Quick Start

Start triaging by running the triage command in your project: "Run issue triage" or "Check pending issues" to kick off the process. The dispatcher will read queue, perform hygiene, categorize, and dispatch to the handler sequentially.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate GitHub issue triage and prioritize actionable work items?

This Skill automates GitHub issue triage by verifying project board status and label alignment, categorizing items into Actionable, Blocked, Backlog, or Needs QA, then prioritizing by severity and age to produce dispatch recommendations.

What is issue dispatching in automated workflow queues?

Issue dispatching reads per-project queues to enforce hygiene checks on metadata and labels, identifies the next actionable work item, and sequentially dispatches tasks to a downstream issue-handler agent.

How do I enforce project board status and label hygiene on GitHub issues?

Enforce GitHub issue hygiene by running automated triage that validates project board status entries, checks label-status alignment, and reports metadata gaps before dispatching any actionable work items.

Can I trigger automated issue triage manually and after intake across multiple project queues?

Automated issue triage supports manual checks, automated maintenance, and post-intake workflows across per-project queues, allowing flexible triggers to initiate the categorization and dispatch process.

What is the best way to queue categorized GitHub issues for a downstream handler agent?

Queue categorized GitHub issues by prioritizing actionable items by severity and age, then invoking a downstream issue-handler sequentially while maintaining a structured dispatch report for tracking.
