FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically label GitHub issues by type, effort, priority, and area?

Triage operates in an isolated, forked context to prevent issue details from polluting your main conversation. This separation ensures the specialized triage agent can safely process issues without leaking data back into the primary agent context.

How do I triage all unlabeled GitHub issues at once?

Restricted tool access is enforced, limiting the agent to Bash(gh *), Read, Glob, and Grep commands. This constraint ensures the agent can only fetch issues and apply labels without granting broader system permissions.

Does this GitHub issue triage approach preserve existing labels on issues?

Yes, the triage agent preserves existing labels when applying new type, effort, priority, and area tags. It integrates with GitHub CLI to append labels rather than overwriting the current taxonomy on your open issues.

How does the label validation hook work for GitHub issue triage?

A prompt-based guardrail validates applied labels to enforce a complete label taxonomy during triage. This hook ensures the AI agent only assigns approved type, effort, priority, and area labels to your open GitHub issues.
