FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize GitHub issues effectively for a sprint?

To prioritize GitHub issues, this Skill analyzes issue impact, dependencies, and modification scope using a tiered classification system, generating a prioritized list and dependency flowchart to minimize rework and overall effort.

What's the best way to map dependencies between open GitHub issues?

Mapping dependencies between GitHub issues is handled by this Skill, which identifies relationships during analysis and visualizes them in a dependency flowchart to clarify execution order and reduce blockers.

Do I need GitHub CLI to automate issue triage and prioritization?

Yes, GitHub CLI is required for issue retrieval to enable automated triage, and an exploration sub-agent is used to perform code impact analysis for determining issue priority.

How does issue prioritization handle refactoring tasks versus new features?

Issue prioritization for refactoring versus features is managed through a tiered classification system that evaluates impact, dependencies, and modification scope to minimize rework and sequence work efficiently.

Can I use this approach to prioritize issues for dependency management workflows?

Yes, dependency management workflows are supported by identifying and visualizing dependencies between open GitHub issues, producing a flowchart that clarifies modification scope and execution order.
