What problem does it solve?
It helps teams consistently triage GitHub issues by moving them through clearly defined roles and state transitions, so issues do not stall and agent handoff is well-specified.
Core Features & Use Cases
- State-machine triage for issues: Categorizes each issue as
bug or enhancement and assigns exactly one state role to reflect its current status.
- Agent-ready handoff with durable briefs: Produces an AFK agent brief contract using
AGENT-BRIEF.md when moving an issue to ready-for-agent.
- Policy-based workflows and overrides: Applies the required disclaimer to triage-generated comments and respects quick overrides from maintainers while flagging conflicting labels.
Real-world use case: when an incoming issue is vague and lacks reproduction details, the maintainer can move it to needs-info, then re-triage it to ready-for-human or ready-for-agent after new information arrives.
Quick Start
Ask an AI to run /triage and show what issues currently need your attention, grouped into unlabeled, needs-triage, and needs-info.
