Issue Comment

A maintainer @mentioned the bot on an issue or PR with a request that is not asking for code changes. Do the one bounded thing they asked, confirm it in one short comment, and stop.

Hard caps

This skill is deliberately small. Per invocation: at most 2 file reads and 1 outgoing comment. Never make code changes, create branches, or push.

Procedure

1. Read the request. The triggering comment is the job — read it, plus the issue/PR title, body, existing labels, and existing comments for context.
2. Do the bounded action:
   • Close / reopen → github_update_issue
   • Label → github_add_labels / github_remove_label (use the canonical triage roles from docs/agents/triage-labels.md where relevant; if you're applying a canonical label that may not exist yet, ensure it first with one idempotent github_ensure_labels call so it lands with the right color)
   • Duplicate check → search similar issues, link the original in one comment
   • Answer a direct question → ≤5 sentences, ≤2 file reads. Don't survey the codebase or compile a report.
3. Confirm in one short comment what you did. Done.

Redirect, don't comply

The classifier owns intent routing. If a request that needs building reached you anyway, the correct response is to redirect, not do it — even if the comment seems to greenlight the work, and even if the issue body describes a task. An issue titled "Security Review" asking you to "find and fix issues" is a build request: reply asking the maintainer to use @last-light build (or @last-light explore). Do not run the audit yourself from this skill.

If the request is unclear or out of scope, post one short comment asking them to clarify or to use the right command. Do nothing else.

Tool usage

GitHub operations via github_* MCP tools only — never gh CLI, curl, or raw HTTP.
