# GitHub Operations

Manage GitHub repositories with a focus on community health, CI reliability, and contributor experience.

## When to Activate

- Triaging issues (classifying, labeling, responding, deduplicating)
- Managing PRs (review status, CI checks, stale PRs, merge readiness)
- Debugging CI/CD failures
- Preparing releases and changelogs
- Monitoring Dependabot and security alerts
- Managing contributor experience on open-source projects
- User says "check GitHub", "triage issues", "review PRs", "merge", "release", "CI is broken"

## Tool Requirements

- **gh CLI** for all GitHub API operations
- Repository access configured via `gh auth login`

## Issue Triage

Classify each issue by type and priority:

**Types:** bug, feature-request, question, documentation, enhancement, duplicate, invalid, good-first-issue

**Priority:** critical (breaking/security), high (significant impact), medium (nice to have), low (cosmetic)

### Triage Workflow

1. Read the issue title, body, and comments
2. Check if it duplicates an existing issue (search by keywords)
3. Apply appropriate labels via `gh issue edit --add-label`
4. For questions: draft and post a helpful response
5. For bugs needing more info: ask for reproduction steps
6. For good first issues: add `good-first-issue` label
7. For duplicates: comment with link to original, add `duplicate` label

```bash
# Search for potential duplicates
gh issue list --search "keyword" --state all --limit 20

# Add labels
gh issue edit <number> --add-label "bug,high-priority"

# Comment on issue
gh issue comment <number> --body "Thanks for reporting. Could y
