github-issue-triage

github-issue-triage is a skill for Claude Code from drvoss/everything-copilot-cli. It costs 60 tokens per session (2,359 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for organizing GitHub Issues, which are GitHub's records for bugs, requests, and other work. It reads issues, applies labels, sets priorities, finds related issues, and assigns work across repositories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to triage open issues, categorize bugs and feature requests, search across repositories, link issues to pull requests, and create periodic issue reports.
Why use it?
It turns an unorganized issue backlog into queues that are easier to understand and act on. It can also help find duplicates and connect issues with pull requests for tracking.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

github-issue-triage scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

GitHub Issue Triage & Management

Why This is Copilot-Exclusive

GitHub access is built into Copilot CLI with no extra setup: the built-in GitHub MCP server (full tool set when gh is absent, or when restored with the flags in the note below) or gh, which the model is expected to use when it is installed. When exposed, the MCP issue tools add sub-methods for comments, labels, and sub-issues. Either way Copilot reasons over the results directly. What is exclusive is the built-in GitHub MCP server, which needs no token or extension setup; when gh is installed, the model mostly uses gh, which any agent with a shell can also run.

Note: When gh is on PATH, Copilot CLI omits these issue tools (list_issues, search_issues, issue_read) and the model is expected to use gh instead, e.g. gh issue list --state open --label <label>, gh issue view <n> --comments, gh search issues "<query>". To call the MCP tools, start the session with --add-github-mcp-tool=<name> for every GitHub MCP tool you need (it replaces the default set, so include default ones you still use), or --enable-all-github-mcp-tools, which also enables write tools.

When to Use

  • Triaging a backlog of open issues across one or more repositories
  • Auto-categorizing issues by content (bug, feature, docs, etc.)
  • Finding duplicate or related issues before filing new ones
  • Building one queue from both issues and external-contributor PRs
  • Linking issues to pull requests for traceability
  • Generating weekly issue reports or burndown summaries

Workflow

1. List Open Issues with Filters

With gh on PATH (default), e.g. gh issue list --repo my-org/my-app --state open --label bug --limit 25. When the MCP tools are exposed:

Tool: github-mcp-server-list_issues
  owner: "my-org"
  repo: "my-app"
  state: "OPEN"
  labels: ["bug"]
  orderBy: "UPDATED_AT"
  direction: "DESC"
  perPage: 25

2. Search Across Repositories

Find issues matching a keyword across your entire org. With gh on PATH (default), e.g. gh search issues "memory leak" --owner my-org --state open. When the MCP tools are exposed:

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
