What problem does it solve?

Distributes and delegates GitHub issue-based tasks to the best-suited agents, removing manual assignment overhead and reducing delays caused by unresolved dependencies or overloaded agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Priority-aware assignment: Queries issues labeled status:ready and sorts by priority to ensure critical work is assigned first.
• Dependency and blocker handling: Skips tasks with unresolved hard dependencies, detects circular dependencies, and moves real blockers to a Blocked column with escalation.
• Agent selection and load balancing: Chooses agents by availability, skill match, and current load, updates assign:<agent> and status labels, and sends AI Maestro messages requiring ACKs.
• Use Case: Automating assignment of a sprint's ready issues to a pool of implementer agents while ensuring blocking items are escalated immediately.

Quick Start

Assign the highest-priority ready tasks by querying status:ready issues, checking blockedBy dependencies, selecting the best-match agent with available capacity, applying assign:<agent> and status:in-progress labels, and sending an AI Maestro assignment message.
