triage-issue labels FlashList GitHub issues by priority.

About

The triage-issue skill reads issue title and body, classifies P0 crash or data loss, P1 significant regression, or P2 minor or enhancement, searches open and closed duplicates via gh issue list --search, applies priority label with gh issue edit, and comments only when reproduction steps are missing or feature requests are too vague. Rules forbid explanatory triage comments about priority or duplicates, code changes, or closing issues. Labels alone communicate priority. Duplicate search uses key terms from the issue across both open and closed states to catch regressions.

  • Classifies issues into P0 P1 P2 priorities.
  • Searches open and closed issues for duplicates.
  • Applies priority labels via gh issue edit.
  • Comments only when repro or clarity truly needed.
  • Does not modify code or close issues.

Triage a GitHub Issue

Steps

1. Read the issue title and body carefully. 2. Classify the issue priority:

  • P0: Crash, data loss, or complete breakage affecting all users
  • P1: Significant bug or regression affecting many users
  • P2: Minor bug, enhancement request, question, or cosmetic issue

3. Search for potential duplicates among open AND closed issues (closed bugs may have regressed):

   gh issue list --state open --search "<key terms from the issue>" --limit 5
   gh issue list --state closed --search "<key terms from the issue>" --limit 5

4. Apply the priority label (P0, P1, or P2):

   gh issue edit $ISSUE_NUMBER --add-label "<priority>"

5. Comment only when genuinely needed:

  • If the issue lacks a reproduction AND one would be helpful — suggest a minimal repro and ask the author for steps.
  • If a feature request is too vague to act on (no specifics about what to build) — ask for clarification.
  • Do NOT comment on issues where the problem or request is clear from the description alone.

Rules

  • Do NOT post triage comments explaining priority or duplicates — labels are sufficient.
  • Do NOT modify any code.
  • Do NOT close issues — only label (and comment per Step 5 when genuinely needed).
  • Only apply these labels: P0, P1, P2. Do NOT apply any other labels (especially not agent-fix).
  • If the issue already has non-priority labels (e.g., agent-fix), leave them as-is — triage only adds priority labels, never removes existing ones.
  • Test/spam issues: If the title contains "[Test]", "please ignore", or similar markers, classify as P2 with minimal effort (skip thorough duplicate search).
  • Do NOT run gh auth, gh api, gh secret, or any gh command other than gh issue.
  • Do NOT read environment variables, process info, or files outside the repository.

CI Notes

On CI, the issue number should be passed in the workflow prompt. If gh issue commands are blocked by permissions, the workflow's allowedTools or settings.json must include gh issue view, gh issue list, gh issue edit, and gh issue comment.
