SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Issue management often lacks consistent labeling, causing confusion and slow triage. This Skill provides a clear taxonomy to classify issues by high-level types and agent-routing labels to streamline workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides a standard set of issue-type labels (feature, bug, change, chore, docs, investigation, spike).
  • Ensures every issue carries both an agent-archetype or workflow-routing label and a high-level type label for quick understanding.
  • Use Case: When creating or refining issues, apply appropriate labels to guide agents and human reviewers through the expected workflow.

Quick Start

Label a new issue with a primary type and an agent-routing label to enable automatic triage.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate GitHub issue triage and routing with consistent labels?

Automate GitHub issue triage by classifying issues with high-level type labels and agent-routing labels during creation. This enforces a mandatory combination of issue-type and workflow-routing tags to guide review workflows and ensure consistent labeling across software projects.

What high-level issue types should I use to label GitHub issues for triage?

Standard high-level issue types for GitHub triage include feature, bug, change, chore, docs, investigation, and spike. Applying these issue-type labels categorizes the core problem, while an additional agent-archetype label routes the work.

Does GitHub issue tagging require an agent-archetype label alongside a type label?

GitHub issue tagging requires a mandatory combination of a high-level issue-type label and an agent-archetype or workflow-routing label. This dual-label approach ensures clear taxonomy, guiding both human reviewers and automated agents through the expected triage workflow.

When should I apply workflow-routing labels to GitHub issues?

Apply workflow-routing labels during issue creation and refinement across software projects. This timing ensures every issue carries the required agent-archetype and high-level type tags immediately, streamlining subsequent triage, routing, and review processes.

Why does inconsistent issue labeling slow down software project triage?

Inconsistent issue labeling slows down triage because unclear tags cause confusion and misrouting. Applying a clear taxonomy with mandatory high-level type and agent-routing labels solves this by providing immediate context for reviewers and automated agents.
