GitHub Issue Prioritizer Skill

Operational Context & Routing

Use this skill when you need to calculate issue priority ranks (P0-P3), update priority labels (priority:P0..P3), or generate payload updates for GitHub Projects v2 custom fields.

• Intra-session ephemeral scratchpad: Use task-agent.
• Logging friction / bugs: Use github-issue-agent.
• Promoting task to issue: Use github-issue-backlog-agent.
• Priority ranking & Projects v2 sync: Use github-issue-prioritizer.

Priority Ranking Rules

Priority is determined from three signals:

1. Friction Tier (tier:0 .. tier:3): Systemic failures (Tier 3) immediately yield P0.
2. Blockage (blocking, type:blocker): Active work blockages increase priority level.
3. Occurrence Frequency: Repeated friction events escalate priority.
