What problem does it solve?
It reduces maintainer time spent on issue backlog work by automatically drafting a consistent triage plan—categorizing issues, spotting likely duplicates, and flagging probable bots or spam—while keeping the maintainer in control of every change.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Issue categorization: Assigns one of bug, feature, enhancement, docs, question, or security based on title/body intent.
- Priority assessment: Determines critical/high/medium/low to guide how urgently maintainers should respond.
- Duplicate detection (optional): Compares new issues against all existing issues to identify likely semantic duplicates.
- Bot/spam heuristics (optional): Uses account signals and issue content to recommend a bot suspicion level, only escalating to maintainer review at high confidence.
- Completeness scoring: Marks whether the report is actionable or needs more information.
- Human-approved actions: Produces a triage report and requires explicit user approval before applying labels, commenting, closing duplicates, or flagging items.
Quick Start
Run triage for the open issues in your configured repository by telling Claude: "triage the issues in this repo".
