SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps teams quickly understand what a GitHub issue means, how severe it is, what bucket of waste it represents, and what the next concrete action should be.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Severity classification: Converts issue impact into one of critical, major, minor, or advisory.
  • Lean waste mapping: Assigns a specific waste category (e.g., Defects or Waiting) based on evidence from the issue and the codebase.
  • Structured, ready-to-post response: Produces a standardized comment including summary, reproducibility assessment, recommended labels, and targeted follow-up questions.
  • Use case: Triage a stream of new bug reports before sprint planning so maintainers can assign work confidently and reporters get clear next instructions.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to triage an issue number from your repository, then review the drafted comment and labels before posting.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage GitHub issues into actionable next steps for sprint planning?▼

To triage GitHub issues, you classify severity and lean waste categories from issue content, then generate a structured response with recommended labels and targeted next actions like fix, investigate, duplicate closure, or defer.

What is lean waste mapping in the context of GitHub issue triage?▼

Lean waste mapping assigns a specific waste category, such as Defects or Waiting, to a GitHub issue based on evidence from the issue text and the codebase, helping teams understand the operational impact of the problem.

Can I automatically assign severity labels to new GitHub bug reports?▼

Yes, the triage process converts issue impact into one of four severity classifications—critical, major, minor, or advisory—and produces ready-to-post recommended labels to apply directly to the GitHub issue.

How do I generate a structured response for a GitHub issue without unverified speculation?▼

The process requires reading the issue and comments, optionally searching relevant repository code, and then drafting a standardized comment with a summary, reproducibility assessment, and follow-up questions without unverified speculation.

Does GitHub issue triage work for batch sorting before sprint planning?▼

Yes, the triage mechanism is explicitly designed for initial handling of new issues and batch sorting before sprint planning, allowing maintainers to confidently assign work and give reporters clear next instructions.
