SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the bottleneck of manual issue management by automating the classification, verification, and specification of GitHub issues and pull requests into actionable agent briefs.

Core Features & Use Cases

State Machine Management: Moves issues through a defined lifecycle from triage to agent-ready status.
Deduplication Engine: Uses an out-of-scope knowledge base to prevent re-litigating previously rejected feature requests.
Agent Brief Generation: Produces structured, durable specifications that allow autonomous agents to implement features or fix bugs without ambiguity.

Quick Start

Invoke the triage skill to list all unlabeled issues and move the most urgent one to the ready-for-agent state.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate GitHub issue triage and lifecycle management?▼

Automate GitHub issue triage by using a structured state machine that moves issues through a defined lifecycle from initial classification to an agent-ready status. This workflow automatically performs status transitions, verification checks, and comment generation.

How do I generate agent briefs from GitHub issues and pull requests?▼

Generate agent briefs from GitHub issues by automating their classification and verification into structured, durable specifications. These specifications allow autonomous agents to implement features or fix bugs without ambiguity.

How can I stop duplicate or previously rejected feature requests on GitHub?▼

Stop re-litigating rejected feature requests by maintaining a persistent knowledge base of out-of-scope issues. This deduplication engine prevents previously rejected features from cluttering your active GitHub issue tracking workflow.

Do I need an issue tracking API to automate GitHub issue state transitions?▼

Yes, you need issue tracking API integration to automate GitHub issue state transitions. The automation requires these APIs to perform status transitions, run verification checks, and generate comments on issues and pull requests.

What is the best way to prepare GitHub issues for autonomous agent implementation?▼

Prepare GitHub issues for autonomous agents by moving unlabeled issues through a triage state machine into a ready-for-agent state. This process creates durable, actionable agent briefs that eliminate implementation ambiguity.
