SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

End-to-end GitHub repository maintenance for open-source projects. This Skill helps you triage issues, review PRs, analyze contributor activity, generate maintenance reports, and maintain a repository. It supports human-in-the-loop workflows with persistent memory across sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Built-in triage workflow for issues and pull requests, including sentiment, actionability, and priority scoring.
  • Automated generation of executive summaries, triage queues, and contributor insights to guide maintainer decisions.
  • Persistent notes and decision memory to support long-term project health, onboarding, and governance.

Quick Start

Run the triage script to fetch data and generate reports:

  • npx tsx scripts/triage.ts
  • Optional: use flags like --delta to compute delta with the previous run, or --config to override defaults.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate GitHub issue and pull request triage?

Triage automates GitHub issue and PR review by applying sentiment, actionability, and priority scoring to classify incoming work. Run npx tsx scripts/triage.ts to fetch repository data and generate a prioritized triage queue that guides maintainer decisions.

Can I generate maintenance reports for my open-source project?

Yes. The Skill generates executive summaries, contributor insights, and maintenance reports after analyzing repository activity. Reports capture issue patterns, PR health, and contributor trends to inform long-term project governance.

How do I track contributor activity and analyze repository health?

Contributor analysis extracts activity patterns, identifies maintainer workload, and surfaces project health metrics from GitHub data. Persistent memory stores maintainer notes and decisions across sessions to support onboarding and documentation.

Does this work for repositories with high issue and PR volume?

Yes. The Skill is built for open-source projects with ongoing activity requiring governance. It handles deterministic triage workflows, persistent decision memory, and human-in-the-loop review to scale with repository complexity.

What's the difference between delta and full triage runs?

Delta mode (--delta flag) computes changes against the previous triage run to highlight new issues, closed PRs, and activity shifts. Full runs regenerate complete reports; delta runs show incremental changes for faster iteration and focused review.
