SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Triage issues on the project tracker by enforcing a structured, role- and state-driven workflow to ensure consistent triage decisions and minimize back-and-forth.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Role-based triage: assign category and state roles to issues for predictable progress.
  • State transitions: move items through needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, or wontfix with enforced rules.
  • Reference docs integration: surface AGENT-BRIEF.md and OUT-OF-SCOPE.md guidance during triage.
  • AFK agent preparation: generate agent briefs when issues reach ready-for-agent to accelerate automation.
  • Audit trail: maintain a trace of triage decisions for accountability.

Quick Start

Invoke /triage on an issue and apply the defined category and state roles to drive its progression through the triage workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate issue triage on my project tracker?▼

Automate issue triage by invoking a guided workflow that moves issues through canonical states like needs-triage and ready-for-agent. It uses a deterministic state-machine to enforce role-based decisions, ensuring consistent triage outcomes across your project tracker.

What is a state-machine driven workflow for GitHub issue triage?▼

A state-machine driven triage workflow enforces structured transitions between predefined states like needs-info, ready-for-human, and wontfix. It maps specific triage roles to issues, minimizing back-and-forth and maintaining accountability through an audit trail of decisions.

How do I prepare GitHub issues for an AFK automation agent?▼

Prepare issues for an AFK agent by moving them to the ready-for-agent state. The triage workflow generates an agent brief based on AGENT-BRIEF.md guidance, accelerating downstream automation tasks by providing structured context.

Can I use project documentation to guide issue triage decisions?▼

Yes, the triage workflow integrates project documentation by surfacing AGENT-BRIEF.md and OUT-OF-SCOPE.md guidance during the triage process. This ensures issues are categorized and moved through states according to your defined project boundaries.

What are the limitations of a deterministic state-machine for issue triage?▼

A deterministic triage state-machine requires strict adherence to canonical states and predefined roles. It does not support ad-hoc state transitions outside the workflow, meaning issues must fit the needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, or wontfix categories.
