GitHub Issue Triage AI Agent Workflow

Workflow overview

Classify new issues, identify likely duplicates, and recommend a priority and owner without changing repository state.

• Trigger: Manual run, or a schedule configured separately in the chosen agent platform.
• Intended role: Developer
• Version: 1.0

Compatible agents

Compatibility with OpenAI Dots and Meta Muse has not been tested by AI Dots. Check app access, native permissions, and scheduling in your own account before adapting this Blueprint.

Required integrations

GitHub read access or a user-provided export is needed to inspect repository evidence. The exact connection path depends on the chosen agent.

How it works

These steps produce a reviewable artifact; the agent does not receive permission to publish or write by default.

• Read the issue and linked evidence.
• Compare with accessible open and closed issues.
• Classify type, urgency, and likely duplicate candidates with links.
• Draft a recommendation and list uncertainties for a human reviewer.

# GitHub Issue Triage

Version: 1.0
Status: Untested by AI Dots

## Goal
Classify new issues, identify likely duplicates, and recommend a priority and owner without changing repository state.

## Trigger
Manual run, or a schedule configured separately in the chosen agent platform.

## Inputs
- Repository and issue URL or export
- Issue labels and triage policy
- Read access to relevant issue history

## Steps
1. Read the issue and linked evidence.
2. Compare with accessible open and closed issues.
3. Classify type, urgency, and likely duplicate candidates with links.
4. Draft a recommendation and list uncertainties for a human reviewer.

## Outputs
- Issue summary
- Suggested label and priority
- Possible duplicate links
- Questions requiring human review

## Permissions
- Read issues and public repository context only.
- Do not close, edit, label, or comment on issues automatically.

## Approval boundaries
- A human approves any write action in GitHub.
- A human chooses the final priority and owner.

## Failure behavior
- If issue history is inaccessible, state that duplicate detection was incomplete.
- If evidence is missing, mark the classification uncertain instead of guessing.

This Blueprint is an instruction template. It does not run an agent, connect apps, schedule work, or enforce permissions. Check support in the chosen agent platform.

Permissions

Configure actual app permissions in the agent and external service. Blueprint text alone does not enforce access.

• Read issues and public repository context only.
• Do not close, edit, label, or comment on issues automatically.
• A human approves any write action in GitHub.
• A human chooses the final priority and owner.

Expected output

Illustrative structure, not a result from an AI Dots test.

• Issue summary
• Suggested label and priority
• Possible duplicate links
• Questions requiring human review

Failure modes

Missing evidence is reported explicitly.

• If issue history is inaccessible, state that duplicate detection was incomplete.
• If evidence is missing, mark the classification uncertain instead of guessing.

Test results

Not tested by AI Dots yet. A complete Blueprint does not establish vendor compatibility or successful execution.
