What is Issue Triage?

The Issue Triage skill transforms the way developers manage incoming feedback by acting as an expert Open Source Maintainer and QA Engineer. By integrating this capability into your workflow with Openclaw Skills, you can instantly categorize reports as bugs, feature requests, or questions, ensuring that critical crashes get the attention they deserve while maintaining a professional and welcoming tone with contributors.

This skill is specifically designed to handle the heavy lifting of initial issue assessment, allowing maintainers to focus on coding rather than administrative overhead. It emphasizes security by processing content as raw text, protecting your environment from indirect prompt injection while delivering high-quality analysis.

Issue Triage Use Cases

  • Analyzing complex bug reports to identify missing environment details or reproduction steps.
  • Prioritizing high-volume issue queues for large open-source projects.
  • Generating professional and polite responses to contributors in multiple languages.
  • Assessing the severity of security vulnerabilities or data loss reports.

How Issue Triage Works

  1. The user provides raw markdown or text content from a GitHub issue to the agent.
  2. The agent analyzes the text for specific metadata like environment details, logs, and reproduction steps.
  3. The skill categorizes the report and assigns a suggested priority level based on severity and impact.
  4. A structured Triage Report is generated, including a completeness checklist and actionable next steps.
  5. The agent provides a localized, ready-to-use reply template for the maintainer to post back to the issue.

Issue Triage Setup

To use this capability within your Openclaw Skills environment, add the issue-triage skill to your agent configuration. Users should copy the raw issue text directly into the chat interface for analysis.

# Example of how to trigger the triage via prompt
"Analyze this issue report: [Paste Issue Content Here]"

Note: For security reasons, the skill is restricted from fetching external URLs directly to prevent prompt injection from untrusted sources.

Issue Triage Data Schema & Taxonomy

The skill organizes its output into a standardized Triage Report format using the following data taxonomy:

Section Description
Analysis Summary Categorizes the issue type and suggests a priority level (High/Medium/Low).
Completeness Check A Markdown checklist identifying if environment info, steps, behavior, and logs are present.
Actionable Next Steps Strategic advice for the maintainer on how to proceed with the report.
Suggested Reply A pre-written response for the reporter, localized to their detected language.

Issue Triage Advanced Features

  • Intelligent language detection to generate reports in English or Chinese based on user input.
  • Security-hardened analysis that treats third-party issue content as strictly textual data.
  • Automated audit of issue completeness to instantly identify 'needs-more-info' candidates.
  • Context-aware priority assessment that distinguishes between critical crashes and minor UI glitches.
