SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you manage incoming issues in a disciplined way so you can quickly classify bugs and enhancements, identify what needs more information, and route work to the right next step.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Issue Classification: Assign each issue exactly one category and one state role so triage stays consistent.
  • Workflow Guidance: Move issues through needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, or wontfix with clear rules.
  • Maintainer Support: Summarize what needs attention, read prior triage notes, and prepare strong handoffs for agents or humans.
  • Use Case: A maintainer asks what needs attention today, and this Skill organizes unlabeled issues, waiting-on-reporter issues, and triaged items into actionable buckets.

Quick Start

Use the triage skill to review issue #42 and recommend the correct category and next state based on the reporter’s details and the existing codebase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage GitHub issues faster and classify bugs vs enhancements?

To triage GitHub issues, assign each issue exactly one category and one state role, ensuring consistent bug and enhancement classification. Review issue history, reproduction evidence, and prior triage notes to route work into actionable workflow states.

What is the best way to organize a GitHub issue queue for agent or human handoff?

Organizing an issue queue requires moving items through states like needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, or wontfix. This state flow prepares structured handoffs by summarizing what needs attention and routing issues to the correct next step.

How do I manage waiting-on-reporter issues that need more information?

Manage waiting-on-reporter issues by applying the needs-info state role during issue triage. This classification isolates unlabeled issues lacking reproduction evidence, allowing maintainers to focus on actionable items while tracking follow-up requirements.

Can I use automated state transitions for bug tracking on repository issue queues?

Bug tracking state transitions apply to repository issue queues by following clear workflow rules. You move issues into needs-triage, ready-for-agent, or wontfix states based on reporter details, prior triage notes, and codebase evidence.

When should I mark an issue wontfix during the GitHub triage workflow?

Mark an issue wontfix during GitHub triage when disciplined review of issue history and reproduction evidence concludes the bug or enhancement is invalid or out of scope. This state role prevents unnecessary agent or human implementation work.
