Triage Issue

This automates GitHub issue triage by fetching an issue, verifying claims against your actual codebase, and closing invalid ones with a technical explanation. Point it at an issue number and it'll grep through your code to check if the bug report is accurate, then draft a respectful but evidence-based response explaining why something is working as designed or is a misunderstanding. It always asks before posting, which is smart because you don't want an AI auto-closing issues without human judgment. Most useful when you're drowning in low-quality bug reports and need help separating real issues from misconfigurations or feature requests disguised as bugs. The response templates lean educational rather than dismissive.

Triage Issue Skill

Analyze a GitHub issue, verify claims against the codebase, and close invalid issues with a technical response.

Trigger

User provides a GitHub issue URL or number, e.g.:

/triage-issue 1970
/triage-issue https://github.com/adenhq/hive/issues/1970

Workflow

Step 1: Fetch Issue Details

gh issue view <number> --repo adenhq/hive --json title,body,state,labels,author

Extract:

Title
Body (the claim/bug report)
Current state
Labels
Author

If issue is already closed, inform user and stop.

Step 2: Analyze the Claim

Read the issue body and identify:

The core claim - What is the user asserting?
Technical specifics - File paths, function names, code snippets mentioned
Expected behavior - What do they think should happen?
Severity claimed - Security issue? Bug? Feature request?

Step 3: Investigate the Codebase

For each technical claim:

Find the referenced code using Grep/Glob/Read
Understand the actual implementation
Check if the claim accurately describes the behavior
Look for related tests, documentation, or design decisions

Step 4: Evaluate Validity
