Top Issues (RICE)

Deterministically list the highest-priority open work using RICE Score on the org GitHub Project board (same fields written by post-prioritize.sh).

Prerequisites

• python3
• gh CLI authenticated with read access to the target repository and org project
• Org variable FULLSEND_PROJECT_NUMBER (or pass --project N)

Script

From the repository root:

python3 skills/topissues/scripts/topissues.py [OPTIONS]

Flags

Flag	Description
--top N	Top N unassigned backlog issues without open linked PRs or open blockers (default: 10)
--repo owner/name	Repository override (default: current repo via gh repo view)
--project N	GitHub Project number (default: FULLSEND_PROJECT_NUMBER env or org variable)
--user LOGIN	GitHub user for "mine" pool (default: gh api user)
--format markdown|json	Output format (default: markdown)
--quiet	Suppress stderr on API failures

Slash command

Portable /topissues is defined in commands/topissues.md. Run the script and paste stdout verbatim — do not invent or adjust scores.

RICE scores

Scores are read only from the project custom field RICE Score on the org project board. Issues must be on that project and scored by the prioritize agent; issue comments are not used.

The top backlog pool excludes issues with open blockers (GitHub blockedBy links — e.g. #470 blocked by open #788). Assigned issues in the mine pool are not filtered by blocker status.
