SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

External pull requests often sit unanswered, which can feel unwelcoming. This skill provides a fast, first-touch triage by reading the PR diff, applying a structured verdict rubric, labeling the PR, and posting a welcoming comment to accelerate human review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • First-touch triage: evaluates external PRs against a concise rubric (scope, format, originality, size) and assigns a verdict.
  • Automated labeling & welcoming comment: posts a concise, contextual note and attaches a triage label to guide reviewers.
  • Idempotent workflow: uses memory files to avoid duplicate comments or labels across re-runs and new commits.
  • Use case: in repositories with high PR volume, this skill shortens time-to-acknowledge and surfaces important context for maintainers.

Quick Start

Run the PR triage workflow on open external PRs to generate initial verdicts, apply labels, and post welcoming comments.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate pull request triage for external GitHub contributors?▼

Automating pull request triage involves reading PR diffs, applying a structured rubric for scope and originality, labeling the PR, and posting a welcoming comment to accelerate human review.

What is a first-touch verdict in automated code review workflows?▼

A first-touch verdict is an initial automated assessment of external pull requests that evaluates scope, format, originality, and size to assign a label and contextual note within minutes of opening.

How do I prevent duplicate automated comments when triaging pull requests across re-runs?▼

To prevent duplicate comments during pull request triage, the workflow uses memory files like memory/triaged-prs.json to track processed items, ensuring idempotent processing across re-runs and new commits.

Does automated PR triage work for internal trusted authors?▼

Automated PR triage targets only external pull requests from non-trusted authors to provide fast first-touch feedback, bypassing internal contributors to focus on community submissions.

What are the limitations of using automated rubrics for pull request triage?▼

The limitation of automated pull request triage is that it provides only a concise first-touch verdict based on size and format, meaning human reviewers are still required to evaluate complex code logic and architectural fit.
