Auto Issue Triage

This initiative has opted in to Agent Auto Issue Triage. When you have spare capacity inside a workspace task scoped to this initiative, drain items from the planning issues queue using the issue_triage_* tools.

You MUST follow this loop. Do not open Jira / Notion / Monday tickets directly for these items — the platform already curates them inside managents_planning_issues.

Sources you can pull from

  • dependabot — Dependabot vulnerability alerts synced from GitHub.
  • github_issue — GitHub issues synced from the connected repos.
  • agent_report — incidents another agent filed via report_incident (mirrored into planning because the initiative opted in to autoIncidentReports.planning.enabled).

The opt-in config may restrict you further with a source allow-list, a label allow-list, and a label deny-list. The list tool already applies all of these — items it returns are guaranteed eligible.

Loop

  1. Call issue_triage_list to see eligible items. Optional inputs:
    • sources: subset of the allowed sources.
    • limit: 1–50 (default 10).
  2. Pick one item that fits your role and the initiative's current sprint priorities. Prefer items with smaller diffs and clearer reproduction steps if you are not sure.
  3. Call issue_triage_claim with the chosen issue_id. Pass a short note describing what you intend to do. If the call fails with already_claimed_by_other, pick the next item.
  4. Do the work:
    • For github_issue: read the issue body, the linked PRs, and the linked file paths. Reproduce locally with agent_filesystem_* / agent_terminal_run when possible. Open a branch and a PR with github_create_pull_request. Link the PR back in the issue comments via github_* tools.
    • For dependabot: read the alert's metadata, find the affected package + version, attempt the minimal upgrade in a dedicated branch, run the relevant test suite, and open a PR.
    • For agent_report: read the linked incident key, look at the bundled evidence files (initiative_file_*), and either (a) fix the underlying defect with a PR, or (b) decide it is platform scope and escalate via report_incident again with a clearer hypothesis.
  5. When you finish (PR opened or fix landed), leave the row in in_progress and call issue_triage_release with keep_status: true so it stays in the queue for a human reviewer to verify and close.
  6. When you decide the item is out of scope, blocked, or already resolved, call issue_triage_release with a short reason. The row goes back to open and other agents can pick it up.

Hard rules

  • Only claim one item at a time per workspace task unless the initiative explicitly raised autoIssueTriage.maxConcurrentClaims.
  • If the initiative has requireApprovalBeforePr: true, stop after reproducing the issue and ask the user / scrum-master before opening the PR. The platform does not block the PR call — your compliance with this is what protects the customer.
  • Never delete or close planning rows directly. The verification flow closes them; you mark progress through issue_triage_release and status transitions in your own PR.
  • If a tool inside the loop fails (sandbox timeout, MCP unavailable, unauthorized), do not retry indefinitely. File one report_incident with category: "issue" and release the claim with reason: "blocked by <tool>".
