SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

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.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage a GitHub pull request quickly?

Provide the PR number or URL and the workflow checks intake rules, repository direction, PR focus, and check status without a full code review. It returns a READY, CONTRIBUTOR_ACTION, CLOSE, or MAINTAINER_DECISION verdict with evidence.

How to check whether a reported GitHub issue still exists?

The issue triage workflow reproduces the reported symptom on the latest supported development head using the cheapest faithful method. It then dispositions the issue as CONFIRMED, FIXED_CURRENT, DUPLICATE, or REPORTER_ACTION based on the observed result.

Can I run the triage without changing anything on GitHub?

Yes, pass the --no-publish flag to receive the verdict, decisive evidence, and proposed comments, labels, and state changes without mutating GitHub. This lets you review the disposition before any public action.

Does the triage workflow perform a full code review or root-cause analysis?

No, it deliberately stops at lightweight policy checks and symptom reproduction. It does not diagnose causes, plan fixes, run full test suites, or execute contributor code, keeping the investigation cheaper than a full review.

What happens when triage evidence is conflicting or policy is unclear?

The workflow returns a MAINTAINER_DECISION verdict stating the exact unresolved decision. It does not comment or close in that case, and only applies an existing needs-maintainer label when that matches repository practice.
