Draft Issue
Drafts ready-to-paste GitHub issues for open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io. The
templates under .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ and the live label set are the sources
of truth ā when this skill drifts from them, trust the source.
Arguments {#arguments}
- If
$ARGUMENTS is empty, infer context from the conversation. If there is
insufficient context, ask the user what issue to draft.
- Otherwise, treat the full
$ARGUMENTS string as the description. There are no
flags.
When to use
- After investigating a problem in the OTel site codebase.
- When a conversation reveals a bug, docs gap, or feature need.
- When drafting a blog post proposal for OTel.
Issue types {#issue-types}
The repo has five issue templates. Auto-detect type from context, or accept an
explicit type from the user.
| Template file | Title prefix | Use for |
|---|
DOCS_UPDATE.yml | [Docs]: | Documentation errors, missing content, outdated info |
ISSUE_REPORT.yml | bug: | Site bugs, broken functionality, CI/workflow issues |
FEATURE_REQUEST.yml | feat: | New site features, tooling improvements |
BLOG_POST.yml | blog: | Blog post proposals (auto-applies blog label) |
PAGE_FEEDBACK.yml | page feedback: | Feedback from the "was this page helpful?" widget |
When drafting, read the chosen template under .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ and
mirror its section labels verbatim so GitHub maps the body back to template form
fields. Required fields are marked in the template.
For writing or reviewing the post itself after a blog: proposal lands, see the
review-blog-post skill.
Drafting rules
From content/en/docs/contributing/issues.md:
- Be specific. Describe what is missing, out of date, wrong, or needs
improvement. "Fix the security docs" is too broad; "Add details to the
'Restricting network access' topic" is actionable.
- Right-size the scope. One issue = one reasonable unit of work; break broad
problems into smaller, reviewable issues.
- Search first. Check existing issues for duplicates before filing.
- Reference related issues and PRs with
#1234 for the same repo, or the
full URL for cross-repo references.
- Concise, actionable descriptions; no filler.
- Wrap body prose at 80 characters (convention, not enforced).
Labels {#labels}
The repo's labels evolve; do not maintain a copy in this skill. Discover the
live set with:
gh label list --repo open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io --limit 200
Path-based auto-labeling (e.g. blog, registry, i18n, lang:*, several
sig:*) is defined in .github/component-label-map.yml and applies on PRs
only. You can still suggest these on issues manually.
Governance for the triage:*, type:*, priority:*, and sig:* families
lives in content/en/docs/contributing/sig-practices.md. Skip type:discussion
ā its own label description says "Do not use, convert discussion issues into
real Discussions."
Output format
Produce a fenced block with title, suggested labels, and body. Labels are
comma-separated so they can be passed directly to
gh issue create --label "<comma,separated>".
**Title**: `bug: pr-approval-labels workflow adds ready-to-be-merged despite requested changes`
**Labels**: `CI/infra`, `Github actions`, `p2-medium`
---
### What happened?
The `pr-approval-labels` workflow currently adds the `ready-to-be-merged`
label when a PR receives an approving review, but it does not check whether
other reviewers have requested changes.
### What did you expect would happen?
The workflow should skip adding the `ready-to-be-merged` label if any
reviewer has a pending "changes requested" status on the PR.
### Name + path of the page
.github/workflows/pr-approval-labels.yml
### Additional context
Related to #1234.
