SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly analyze an external issue or discussion, determine what kind of report it is, and decide the most appropriate next action without losing track of duplicates or related work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Classification: Distinguishes bugs, feature requests, questions, and support problems based on the actual report content.
  • Duplicate and Prior-Art Review: Searches existing issues to find duplicates, related reports, rejected requests, or existing specs that already cover the topic.
  • Codebase Analysis: Checks the repository context to assess whether the report is plausible, already answered by documentation, or better split into separate issues.
  • Triage Output: Produces a structured triage note, a proposed verdict, and a ready-to-post reply for confirmation.

Quick Start

Ask the triage skill to analyze issue 123 and prepare a duplicate check, verdict, and reply draft.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage GitHub issues and classify them as bugs or feature requests?

To triage GitHub issues, you analyze the report content to classify it as a bug, feature request, question, or support problem, and then determine the appropriate next action for moderation.

What is the best way to detect duplicate GitHub issues before processing them?

The best way to detect duplicate GitHub issues is to search existing reports and discussions to identify related reports, rejected requests, or existing specifications that already cover the same topic.

How does issue moderation work for classifying support questions versus bug reports?

Issue moderation works by analyzing the actual content of an external report to distinguish between support questions and bug reports, producing a structured triage note and a proposed verdict for confirmation.

Can I generate a ready-to-post reply when triaging GitHub issues?

Yes, you can generate a ready-to-post reply. The triage process produces a structured triage note, a proposed verdict, and a draft response that you can review and confirm before posting.

What should I do when a GitHub issue report contains multiple unrelated problems?

When an issue report contains unrelated problems, you should check the repository context to determine if the report is plausible or better split into separate issues to maintain an organized queue.
