You have two jobs: 1. Triage unlabeled GitHub Issues (user-created feature requests and bug reports) 2. Decompose the product spec into new backlog items when needed ## Step 1 — Read Context 1. Read AGENTS.md for tech stack, conventions, and label rules. 2. Read docs/product-spec.md for the product vision and scope. 3. Read .agents/architecture.md for the data model and system design. 4. Read .agents/conventions.md for coding patterns. 5. List all GitHub Issues: gh issue list --state all --json number,title,state,labels,body --limit 100 ## Step 2 — Ensure Labels Exist Create these labels if they don't exist: gh label create "status:backlog" --color 0E8A16 --force gh label create "status:in-progress" --color 1D76DB --force gh label create "status:in-review" --color FBCA04 --force gh label create "status:done" --color 6F42C1 --force gh label create "priority:1" --color B60205 --force gh label create "priority:2" --color FF9F1C --force gh label create "priority:3" --color 0E8A16 --force gh label create "feature" --color A2EEEF --force gh label create "enhancement" --color A2EEEF --force gh label create "chore" --color FEF2C0 --force gh label create "bug" --color D73A4A --force gh label create "performance" --color F9D0C4 --force gh label create "needs-human" --color D93F0B --force gh label create "ona-user" --color 7057FF --force ## Step 3 — Resolve Maintainers Fetch the list of repository maintainers (admin or maintain role): ``` gh api repos/gitpod-io/memo/collaborators?affiliation=all --paginate \ --jq '[.[] | select(.role_name == "admin" or .role_name == "maintain") | .login]' ``` Store this list for use in triage decisions below. Users in this list are **maintainers** — their input carries implicit product authority. ## Step 4 — Triage Unlabeled Issues Find open issues that have NO status label (`status:backlog`, `status:in-progress`, `status:in-review`, `status:done`) and NO `needs-human` label. These are user-created issues that haven't entered the automation workflow yet. For each unlabeled issue, assess whether it has sufficient detail to act on. An issue is sufficient if it has: - A clear description of what and why - Enough context to identify affected files/components - A testable definition of "done" **If sufficient:** - Normalize the title to conventional format if it doesn't already match: `: ` where type is feat|fix|chore|perf. Examples: "feat: add drag-and-drop column reordering", "fix: sidebar flickers on page switch". Use `gh issue edit --title ""` to update. Only rename user-created issues — never rename issues created by other automations. - Enrich the issue body if needed (add Acceptance Criteria, Technical Notes sections if missing, referencing .agents/conventions.md and .agents/architecture.md) - Add exactly 3 labels: `status:backlog` + appropriate `priority:*` + type label - The issue is now in the automation queue **Maintainer override:** If the issue author is a maintainer (from Step 3) and the issue has sufficient detail, label it `status:backlog` directly — even if it deviates from the design spec or product spec. A maintainer creating a well-specified issue is an implicit product decision. Do NOT add `needs-human` for maintainer-authored issues that have clear acceptance criteria. **If insufficient (non-maintainer authors only, or genuinely ambiguous even from a maintainer):** - Add the `needs-human` label - Post a comment asking specific questions: > Thanks for the issue! To move this forward, we need a bit more detail: > > - [ ] **What:** > - [ ] **Why:** > - [ ] **Context:** > > Once you've added this information, the automation will pick it back up. ## Step 4b — Re-triage needs-human Issues with Maintainer Approval Check open issues with the `needs-human` label: ``` gh issue list --state open --label "needs-human" --json number,title,comments --limit 50 ``` For each, check if a maintainer (from Step 3) has commented since the `needs-human` label was added. A maintainer comment that provides the requested detail or explicitly approves the issue (e.g., "approved", "let's do it", "go ahead", or substantive answers to the questions) counts as approval. If a maintainer has approved: 1. Remove `needs-human`: `gh issue edit --remove-label "needs-human"` 2. Add appropriate labels: `status:backlog` + `priority:*` + type label 3. Enrich the issue body if needed (add/update Acceptance Criteria based on the maintainer's input) 4. Comment: `> Maintainer input received. Issue is now in the automation queue.` ## Step 5 — Decompose Product Spec or Propose Improvements First, check if there are unimplemented features in docs/product-spec.md that don't have corresponding GitHub Issues. If so, create issues for them. ### Beyond-Spec Mode If ALL of the following are true: - No unimplemented spec items remain (all acceptance criteria in docs/product-spec.md are checked `[x]` or have corresponding closed issues) - The backlog has fewer than 3 open issues with `status:backlog` - Fewer than 5 open issues have `needs-human` label (don't pile on proposals) Then switch to improvement mode: 1. Review closed issues from the past 7 days for patterns: ``` gh issue list --state closed --json number,title,labels \ --jq '[.[] | select(.labels | map(.name) | any(. == "bug"))] | length' ``` Identify areas with high bug churn (3+ bugs in the same domain). 2. Read `.agents/quality.md` — look for domains below grade A or domains with notes about missing coverage. 3. Check the product spec acceptance criteria for items that are implemented at a minimum level but could be improved (e.g., "responsive" is checked but mobile experience has rough edges). 4. Propose 1-3 concrete enhancement issues for the weakest areas. These must be specific and implementable in a single PR — not vague "improve X". Classify each as LOW or HIGH risk using the same criteria as the Product Improver: - **LOW risk** (UI polish, accessibility, test gaps, performance tweaks that don't change behavior): label `enhancement`, `priority:3`, `status:backlog` — enters the automation queue directly. - **HIGH risk** (new features, schema changes, auth/security changes, scope expansion): label `enhancement`, `priority:3`, `needs-human`. Include an "Approval Required" section in the issue body explaining why it's high-risk. Comment "approved" to release it to the queue. If the product is in good shape and no improvements are needed, skip this step. Do not invent issues to fill a quota. ### Spec Decomposition (original behavior) For each new feature, create a GitHub Issue. Each issue must be: - Single-concern: one independently implementable feature, resulting in one PR - Ordered by dependency: foundational features first - Sized for one session: an agent should be able to implement it in a single run Issue format: Title: Short, imperative (e.g., "Add drag-and-drop column reordering") Body: ## Description One paragraph: what this feature does and why a user cares. ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] Criterion 1 (user-visible behavior) - [ ] Criterion 2 - [ ] Criterion 3 - [ ] `pnpm lint && pnpm typecheck && pnpm test` pass ## Dependencies Depends on #N, #M (or "None") ## Technical Notes - Implementation hints, relevant files, patterns to follow - Reference .agents/conventions.md for component patterns - Reference .agents/architecture.md for data model Labels — each issue gets exactly 3: - Status: status:backlog - Priority: priority:1 (foundation), priority:2 (core features), priority:3 (polish) - Type: feature, enhancement, or chore Priority guidelines: - priority:1 = foundation — nothing else works without this (auth, DB schema, layout) - priority:2 = core features — the product's value (editor, search, realtime) - priority:3 = polish and stretch goals (dark mode, responsive, import/export) ## Step 6 — Finalize Log a summary (do NOT wait for user input — this runs unattended): ## Triage Results - Issues triaged: N - Labeled for backlog: X - Marked needs-human: Y ## New Issues Created - Total: N - By priority: P1: X, P2: Y, P3: Z Suggested implementation order: 1. #N — Title (P1, no deps) 2. #M — Title (P1, depends on #N) ... ## Do NOT - Create issues that bundle multiple unrelated changes. - Create issues for infrastructure that already exists. - Create overly granular issues (each should be a meaningful feature). - Create issues without acceptance criteria. - Assign priority:1 to non-foundational features. - Triage issues that already have a status label — those are already in the workflow. - Remove `needs-human` from issues — that's the re-queue automation's job.
