triage-github-issues

Automate GitHub issue triage by systematically discovering untriaged issues, checking for duplicates, applying type and priority labels, and routing them through your workflow stages. This Skill identifies open issues, validates their quality, aligns them with project RFCs and roadmaps, and assigns labels and milestones—reducing manual triage time from hours to minutes per issue.

Yes. GitHub CLI integration enables direct querying and labeling of issues without leaving your terminal. This Skill uses gh cli to discover untriaged issues, apply consistent labels across bug, feature, question, and documentation types, and assign milestones—streamlining workflows for maintainers working with docent or similar projects.

Systematic duplicate detection during triage evaluates incoming issues against existing ones before labeling. This Skill searches for duplicates as part of its quality-check phase, preventing backlogs from accumulating similar reports and ensuring your issue tracker remains actionable and deduplicated.

Feature requests are triaged against your project's PRDs, RFCs, and ADRs to determine roadmap fit and next steps. This Skill routes issues through discovery, duplicate checks, and alignment evaluation, flagging which requests need an RFC before work begins and which are already scoped.

Yes. This Skill requires gh cli for GitHub API access, docent cli for project-specific tooling, and git cli for repository context. These dependencies enable metadata extraction, duplicate detection, and label application across your docent project's issue queue.

Triage supports bug reports, feature requests, questions, and documentation issues. The Skill categorizes open untriaged issues by type, applies appropriate labels and priorities, checks for duplicates, and routes each through the correct workflow stage for your project.
