Issue Label Workflow

July 13, 2026 ยท View on GitHub

The skills speak in terms of four canonical triage roles. This file maps those roles to the actual GitHub labels used in this repo.

Skill roleGitHub labelMeaning
needs-triageneeds-triageNew or unreviewed issue; maintainer needs to evaluate it
needs-infoneeds-infoWaiting on reporter or external input
ready-for-agentready-for-agentFully specified, AFK-ready for an agent to pick up
wontfixwontfixWill not be actioned after an explicit maintainer decision

Default flow:

  1. New issues get needs-triage.
  2. Remove needs-triage once the issue is understood and valid.
  3. Add needs-info when reporter or external input is required.
  4. Add ready-for-agent when the issue is fully specified and can be picked up by an AFK agent with no extra human context.
  5. Add wontfix only after an explicit maintainer decision.
