What problem does it solve?
Maintainers spend significant time deciding whether incoming pull requests and reported issues deserve attention. This Skill performs a fast, policy-driven triage of a single GitHub PR or issue, producing a clear verdict without the cost of a full code review or root-cause analysis.
Core Features & Use Cases
- PR Triage: Checks contributor PRs against intake rules, repository direction, focus, and check status, then returns a READY, CONTRIBUTOR_ACTION, CLOSE, or MAINTAINER_DECISION verdict.
- Issue Triage: Reproduces reported symptoms cheaply on the current development head and dispositions issues as CONFIRMED, DUPLICATE, FIXED_CURRENT, REPORTER_ACTION, POLICY_CLOSE, or MAINTAINER_DECISION.
- Safe Publication: Supports a --no-publish dry-run mode, uses only existing labels, keeps comments idempotent, and treats contributor content as untrusted.
- Use Case: A maintainer facing a backlog of 30 open PRs runs the triage on each one to quickly label which are ready for review, which need contributor fixes, and which should be closed.
