name

issue-bulk-process

description

Bulk triage and reproduce multiple SkiaSharp GitHub issues in a single command. Orchestrates parallel triage agents then serial reproduction agents, and presents a consolidated summary. Triggers: "bulk process issues", "triage and repro these issues", "process issues 3400 3428 3429", "process the newest 10 issues", "bulk triage", "batch process issues", any request to triage or reproduce multiple issues at once.

Issue Bulk Process

Orchestrate bulk triage and reproduction of multiple SkiaSharp issues by delegating to issue-triage and issue-repro skills via sub-agents.

Input Parsing

Parse the user's message to determine the issue list:

1. Explicit issue references — numbers preceded by #, or numbers in a space/comma-separated list that the user clearly intends as issue numbers (e.g., #3400 #3428, issues 3400, 3428, 3429, triage 123 456 789). Issue numbers may be 2–5 digits.
2. "newest N issues" — if the user says "newest", "latest", "recent", or "last N issues", extract the count N and fetch from GitHub (see Phase 1).
3. Ambiguous numbers — if a number could be an issue number OR a count/quantity (e.g., "process 10 issues starting from 3400"), ask the user to clarify before proceeding. Use the ask_user tool.

Phase 1 — Resolve Repository and Issue List

1. Detect current repository

gh repo view --json owner,name -q '"\(.owner.login)/\(.name)"'

Store the {owner} and {repo} for use in all subsequent phases.

2. Resolve issue list

Use the gh CLI for all issue lookups. It handles pagination automatically via the -L (limit) flag — no manual page iteration needed.

If explicit numbers given: Use them directly — they refer to the current repository.

If "newest N issues" or similar:

gh issue list --state open -L {N} --json number,title -q '.[] | "\(.number)\t\(.title)"'

If search query (e.g., "all blazor issues", "issues about WASM", "label:area/foo"):

gh issue list -S "{search terms}" --state open -L 500 --json number,title -q '.[] | "\(.number)\t\(.title)"'

For label-based queries, use --label instead of -S:

gh issue list --label "area/SkiaSharp.Views" --state open -L 500 --json number,title -q '.[] | "\(.number)\t\(.title)"'

Note: -L 500 is a generous upper bound. gh fetches exactly as many pages as needed and stops when results are exhausted, so over-specifying the limit is fine.

Extract issue numbers from the output. Present the list to the user and confirm before proceeding.

3. Skip already-processed issues

Before launching triage/repro agents, check for existing result files:

# Check for existing triage results
ls .data-cache/repos/{owner}-{repo}/ai-triage/{number}.json 2>/dev/null

# Check for existing repro results
ls .data-cache/repos/{owner}-{repo}/ai-repro/{number}.json 2>/dev/null

• Default behavior: Skip issues that already have a triage JSON file. Skip reproduction for issues that already have a repro JSON file. Report skipped issues in the summary with a ⏩ icon.
• Force re-processing: If the user explicitly says "force", "re-triage", "re-process", "redo", or "again", process all issues regardless of existing results.
• Present skip info: Before proceeding, show the user how many will be skipped vs processed:

  Found 33 issues. 15 already triaged, 12 already reproduced.
  Will triage: 18 | Will reproduce: 21
  

Phase 2 — Triage (parallel)

Triage is read-only — safe to parallelize.

Launch one general-purpose background agent per issue. Each agent's prompt is exactly:

triage issue {number}

This triggers the issue-triage skill in each agent.

Steps:

1. Launch all agents with mode: "background" via the task tool. Collect all returned agent_id values.
2. Call read_agent for each agent_id with wait: true, timeout: 300. You can call multiple read_agent in parallel.
3. If any agent is still running after 300s, call read_agent again with another 300s timeout (600s total max).
4. From each agent's response, extract the Type, Severity, and suggested Action from the triage summary. Look for patterns like Type: type/bug (0.95), Severity: high, Action: needs-investigation in the response text.
5. If an agent's response does not mention issue-triage or ai-triage, it failed to invoke the skill — report it.

Batch size limit: Launch at most 12 agents at once. If more issues, wait for the current batch to complete before launching the next.

Phase 3 — Reproduce (serial)

Reproduction may build projects, create files, open simulators — must run in series.

Launch one general-purpose sync agent per issue, sequentially. Each agent's prompt is exactly:

reproduce issue #{number}

This triggers the issue-repro skill in each agent.

Steps:

1. For each issue in order, launch a task agent with mode: "sync". The call blocks until the agent completes.
2. From the agent's response, extract the Conclusion (one of: reproduced, not-reproduced, needs-platform, needs-hardware, inconclusive, partial). Look for Conclusion: in the response text.
3. Continue to the next issue regardless of the previous result.

Phase 4 — Summary

Present a consolidated summary table using data extracted from the agent responses in Phases 2 and 3:

## Bulk Process Results

| # | Issue | Type | Severity | Triage Action | Repro Conclusion |
|---|-------|------|----------|---------------|------------------|
| 1 | #3400 | Bug | medium | needs-investigation | ⏭️ needs-platform |
| 2 | #3472 | Bug | medium | needs-investigation | ❌ reproduced |
...

### Stats
- Triaged: {N}
- Reproduced: {reproduced}
- Not reproduced: {not_reproduced}
- Blocked (needs-platform/hardware): {blocked}
- Inconclusive: {inconclusive}

Conclusion icons: ❌ reproduced · ✅ not-reproduced · ⏭️ needs-platform/hardware · ❓ inconclusive · ⏱️ timeout · ⏩ skipped (already processed)

Error Handling

Situation	Action
Agent times out after 600s total	Record as ⏱️ timeout in the summary and continue
Agent response doesn't mention the skill	Record as failed in the summary and continue
GitHub API fails for "newest N"	Ask user to provide explicit issue numbers
