Features
Keyword-based priority detection Scans for urgency signals like “outage,” “security,” “blocking,” “regression,” “crash,” and “workaround exists” to determine priority from P0 critical to P3 low.
Structured triage output Produces a report per issue with urgency, impact, recommended priority, classification (type and area), suggested labels, suggested assignee, and an assessment summary.
Escalation and red flag detection Flags security vulnerabilities, production outages, and data integrity issues for immediate escalation, and identifies red flags like stale issues with no author response.
Clarifying question generation When issues lack reproduction steps, environment details, or clear severity, generates specific questions to gather the missing information before final triage.
