GitHub Issues

Core Philosophy

1. Issues are the unit of work -- Every code change traces back to an issue. No issue, no PR. This creates accountability and traceability.
2. Triage within 48 hours -- Every new issue gets classified, labeled, and either accepted, closed, or flagged for more info within 2 days.
3. Structure beats freedom -- Use Issue Forms (.yml) over classic templates. Enforce required fields. Disable blank issues. Structured input produces actionable issues.
4. Automate the boring parts -- Labeling, staleness, assignment, and project routing belong in GitHub Actions, not human checklists.
5. gh CLI is the primary interface -- Every issue operation is faster from the terminal. Master gh issue, gh search issues, and gh api.
