github_list_releases per repo - check for recent, draft, and pre-releases.dependabot[bot] or renovate[bot].Convert natural language to GitHub query qualifiers:
| User Says | GitHub Qualifier |
|---|---|
| "last week" | created:>YYYY-MM-DD (7 days ago) |
| "this month" | created:>YYYY-MM-01 |
| "today" | closed:YYYY-MM-DD |
| "this week" | closed:>YYYY-MM-DD (7 days ago) |
| "between X and Y" | created:X..Y |
| Not specified | Use search.default_window from preferences (default: updated:>YYYY-MM-DD 30 days) - mention this assumption |
| "for current month" (a11y tracker) | milestone:"{Month} {Year}" |
Add qualifiers to narrow by scope when the user specifies one:
| Scope | Qualifier |
|---|---|
| Single repo | repo:owner/name |
| All org repos | org:orgname |
| All repos by user | user:username |
| Everything (default) | No qualifier - searches all accessible repos |
Read .github/agents/preferences.md and apply these filters before and after searching:
repos.discovery - determines the default search scope (all / starred / owned / configured / workspace).repos.include - always include these repos even in restricted modes.repos.exclude - skip these repos in all searches.repos.overrides - per-repo settings:
track.issues: false -> skip issue searches for this repotrack.pull_requests: false -> skip PR searches for this repotrack.discussions: false -> skip discussions for this repotrack.releases: false -> skip release checks for this repotrack.security: false -> skip security alerts for this repotrack.ci: false -> skip CI status for this repolabels.include / labels.exclude -> filter results by labelpaths -> only trigger for changes touching these file paths (for PRs/CI)assignees -> filter to specific assignees (empty = all)search.default_window - default time range if the user doesn't specify one.briefing.sections - which sections to include in the daily briefing.accessibility_tracking - config for the a11y tracker (repos, labels, channels).When results arrive from different repos, look for and surface these patterns:
| Pattern | Action |
|---|---|
| Cross-repo references | When issue A contains owner/repo#N, fetch and surface item N |
| Shared label patterns | Group items in different repos tagged P0 together in triage |
| Related PRs in different repos | Flag: "This issue depends on PR #N in repo-B which is still open" |
| Merged PR not yet released | Note: "Your PR #N is merged but not in any release yet" |
| Issue with merged fix PR | Flag: "This may be resolved - PR #N that closes it was merged on {date}" |
| Branch naming patterns | Group PRs in different repos using the same branch naming convention |
For agents that collect from multiple data streams, run independent streams simultaneously. Don't serialize operations with no dependencies.
Batch 1 - fully independent, run simultaneously:
Batch 2 - run after Batch 1 (CI needs PR list from Batch 1):
Batch 3 - can overlap with Batch 2:
Batch 1 - collection (all independent):
Batch 2 - analysis (depends on Batch 1 data):
Running {N} searches in parallel... ({scope})
Batch 1 complete - {X} items found
Running {N} additional searches...
Batch 2 complete - {Y} items found
Scoring and prioritizing...
Done - {Z} items need action, {W} to monitor
If a search returns 0 results:
all, or remove label filters.Recovery cascade:
When the same item appears in multiple searches (e.g., an issue you're both assigned to AND mentioned in):
