SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Review an incoming external issue (and any gated-closed PR behind it) and decide whether to assign the contributor or decline. Use when the maintainer says "look at this issue", "review issue #N", "should we take this", or asks whether to assign someone. Assigning the author auto-reopens their PR for normal review. This is the entry point for incoming-issue triage — distinct from review-pr, which responds to bot reviews on your own open PR.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Assign the author to an external issue when the contribution is valid and a referenced PR exists, causing the PR to reopen for review.
  • Decline and explain why if the issue or PR does not meet project gate requirements, with guidance to maintainers.
  • Provide a structured triage workflow that reads issue/PR metadata, checks gate conditions, and applies appropriate GitHub actions (assignee, reopen, or comment).

Quick Start

Provide the issue number and repository context to triage, then let the skill determine whether to assign or decline.
