Bug Triage Skill

Dynamic context

• jira CLI: !command -v jira >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "available" || echo "NOT available"
• gh CLI: !command -v gh >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "available" || echo "NOT available"

Arguments

• No argument: Run both Jira and GitHub triage
• jira: Run only Jira bug triage
• github: Run only GitHub issues triage

References

Load these files as needed during triage:

• references/owners.csv — Component/domain owners for assignee suggestions
• ../../references/github-repos.md — GitHub repositories in triage scope (skip issues from unlisted repos)

Ticket Hygiene Standard

Before triaging, fetch the current field requirements (valid components):

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift-hyperfleet/architecture/main/hyperfleet/standards/ticket-hygiene.md 2>/dev/null

Use the fetched document as the source of truth for component validation. Do NOT rely on hardcoded component lists.

Ticket Creation

When creating JIRA tickets (e.g., from accepted GitHub issues or RFE conversions), use the hyperfleet-jira:jira-ticket-creator skill via the Skill tool. This skill handles description formatting, Activity Type classification, Story Points estimation, and all ticket creation best practices. Pass the issue context (title, description, component, suggested priority) as the skill argument.

Link Formatting

ALWAYS include clickable links in all tables, headings, and references:

• Jira: [TICKET-KEY](https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/TICKET-KEY)
• GitHub: [REPO#NUMBER](https://github.com/openshift-hyperfleet/REPO/issues/NUMBER)

Priority SLA Reference

Priority	Triage SLA	Fix/Workaround SLA
Blocker	Within 24 hours	Within 72 working hours
Critical/Major	Per Week	Within 5 working days
Normal	Per Sprint	Must be fixed in coming release
Low	Per Sprint	Planned per capacity; max 2 sprints, re-evaluate in 3rd

Part 1: Jira Bug Triage (New -> Backlog)

Step 1: Fetch all bugs with status "New"

jira issue list -q"project = HYPERFLEET AND status = New AND issuetype = Bug" --plain --columns "KEY,SUMMARY,PRIORITY,STATUS,COMPONENT,ASSIGNEE,CREATED" 2>/dev/null

If no bugs found, report "No bugs in New status" and skip to Step 5.

Step 2: Fetch bugs open for more than 3 sprints (approximately 6 weeks)

jira issue list -q"project = HYPERFLEET AND issuetype = Bug AND status not in (Closed, Done) AND created <= -42d" --plain --columns "KEY,SUMMARY,PRIORITY,STATUS,ASSIGNEE,CREATED" 2>/dev/null

Step 3: Interactive triage of each "New" bug

Skip bugs that already have an assignee — they are already being handled.

For each remaining bug, do the following one at a time:

3a. Fetch full details

jira issue view TICKET-KEY --plain 2>/dev/null

3b. Present the bug and assess

Start with a heading: ### [TICKET-KEY](https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/TICKET-KEY) - Summary

Evaluate and present:

Check	Status	Notes
Sufficient info/logs	PASS/FAIL	Logs, steps to reproduce, environment details?
Priority set correctly	PASS/FAIL/MISSING	Based on SLA table
Component identified	PASS/FAIL/MISSING	Must be a valid project component from ticket-hygiene.md (fetched above). Match names in references/owners.csv. If multiple components apply, add ALL
Target version	SET/MISSING	If MVP bug, set "MVP". Otherwise set planned fix version per release strategy (if field is available)
Valid bug	LIKELY/UNCLEAR	Real defect? Or actually a feature request (RFE)?
Hyperfleet scope	YES/NO	If not in Hyperfleet scope, move to the correct Jira Project
Assignee	SET/MISSING	If missing, suggest owner from references/owners.csv

3c. Recommend one action

1. Move to Backlog — valid, enough info, fields set
2. Request more info — missing logs/steps/environment
3. Close as Won't Do — valid bug/request but out of scope or low ROI
4. Close as Rejected — not a real bug (environmental issue, non-reproducible)
5. Close as Duplicate — search for duplicates first:

   jira issue list -q"project = HYPERFLEET AND issuetype = Bug AND summary ~ 'keyword'" --plain 2>/dev/null
   

6. Convert to RFE — if the bug is actually a feature request, create a Story/Task with [RFE] prefix and keep in "New" status
7. Move to another Jira Project — if not in Hyperfleet scope, move to the correct project
8. Set missing fields first — priority, component, or target version missing
9. Escalate to tech leads — if Blocker priority. The 24h goal is to deliver a fix/workaround OR provide a high-confidence RCA with next steps. Tag tech leads and managers in Slack immediately

3d. Ask the user and execute

Use AskUserQuestion to confirm the action, then execute:

• Move to Backlog: jira issue move TICKET-KEY "Backlog"
• Set priority: jira issue edit TICKET-KEY --priority "Normal" --no-input — always add a comment explaining why the priority was changed
• Set component: jira issue edit TICKET-KEY --component "Name" --no-input — if multiple components apply, add all of them
• Set target version: jira issue edit TICKET-KEY --custom target-version="MVP" --no-input (if the field is available in the project)
• Request info: jira issue comment add TICKET-KEY "..."
• Close: jira issue move TICKET-KEY "Closed" --resolution "<Resolution>" — valid resolutions: Won't Do, Rejected, Duplicate
• Duplicate link: jira issue link TICKET-KEY DUPLICATE-KEY "Duplicate"
• Convert to RFE: Change type to Story/Task, add [RFE] prefix to summary, keep in "New" status
• Move to another project: Ask user which project, then move the ticket
• Escalate Blocker: Inform user to notify tech leads AND managers via Slack. Goal: fix/workaround or RCA within 24h

Step 4: Report bugs open > 3 sprints

Present in a table and ask the user to re-evaluate or close each one:

| Ticket | Priority | Status | Assignee | Created |

Low priority rule: Bugs with Low priority can be held for max 2 sprints. In the 3rd sprint, recommend re-evaluating — either fix or close them. Do not defer indefinitely.

Step 5: Jira Triage Summary

| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Bugs triaged | X |
| Moved to Backlog | X |
| Closed (Won't Do/Rejected/Duplicate) | X |
| Info requested | X |
| Skipped | X |
| Bugs open > 3 sprints | X |

Part 2: GitHub Issues Triage

Step 1: Fetch untriaged issues

Read ../../references/github-repos.md to get the list of repos in scope. For each repo name, build a repo:openshift-hyperfleet/<name> token and include all of them in the -f q= parameter. Fetch issues that are either unlabeled or have hf-needs-triage but NOT already triaged labels:

gh api search/issues -X GET \
  -f q="is:issue is:open -label:hf-triaged/accepted -label:hf-triaged/rejected -label:hf-triaged/duplicate repo:openshift-hyperfleet/hyperfleet-api repo:openshift-hyperfleet/hyperfleet-sentinel ..." \
  -f per_page=50 \
  --jq '.items[] | "\(.repository_url | split("/") | .[-1])|\(.number)|\(.title)|\(.state)|\(.labels | map(.name) | join(","))|\(.created_at[:10])"' 2>/dev/null

If none found, report "No untriaged GitHub issues" and skip to summary.

Step 2: Fetch issues open > 3 sprints (6 weeks)

Same repo list as Step 1, but filter by creation date older than 42 days:

DATE=$(date -d '42 days ago' '+%Y-%m-%d' 2>/dev/null || date -v-42d '+%Y-%m-%d')
gh api search/issues -X GET \
  -f q="is:issue is:open created:<$DATE repo:openshift-hyperfleet/hyperfleet-api repo:openshift-hyperfleet/hyperfleet-sentinel ..." \
  -f per_page=50 \
  --jq '.items[] | "\(.repository_url | split("/") | .[-1])|\(.number)|\(.title)|\(.created_at[:10])|\(.labels | map(.name) | join(","))"' 2>/dev/null

Step 3: Interactive triage of each issue

For each untriaged issue, do the following one at a time:

3a. Fetch full details

gh issue view NUMBER --repo openshift-hyperfleet/REPO_NAME 2>/dev/null

3b. Check if already tracked or resolved

Before assessing, search for existing Jira tickets and merged PRs:

jira issue list -q"project = HYPERFLEET AND summary ~ 'keyword'" --plain --columns "KEY,SUMMARY,STATUS" 2>/dev/null

gh pr list --repo openshift-hyperfleet/REPO_NAME --state merged --search "keyword" --limit 5 2>/dev/null

• If Jira ticket exists but no merged PR found: comment on GitHub linking to the Jira ticket, add hf-triaged/accepted label, keep the issue open (a Closed/Done Jira ticket alone does not prove the fix is in the repo), skip
• If code already fixed (merged PR found): comment referencing the PR, add hf-triaged/accepted label, close the issue, skip

Always add the appropriate triage label (hf-triaged/accepted, hf-triaged/rejected, or hf-triaged/duplicate) when closing or resolving an issue.

3c. Present the issue and assess

Start with: ### [REPO#NUMBER](https://github.com/openshift-hyperfleet/REPO/issues/NUMBER) - Title

Check	Status	Notes
Sufficient info	PASS/FAIL	Clear description, steps, context?
Labels present	PASS/FAIL	Existing labels?
Category	Bug/RFE/Help Request	Classify the issue
Hyperfleet scope	YES/NO/UNCLEAR	Within Hyperfleet's scope?

3d. Recommend one action

1. Accept as Bug — create Jira Bug, label hf-triaged/accepted
2. Accept as RFE — create Jira Story with [RFE] prefix, label hf-triaged/accepted
3. Provide help — answer on GitHub, label hf-triaged/accepted
4. Reject — close with explanation, label hf-triaged/rejected
5. Mark as Duplicate — link to existing issue, label hf-triaged/duplicate
6. Request info — comment requesting details, label hf-needs-info

3e. Ask the user and execute

Use AskUserQuestion to confirm, then execute. Adding labels may fail due to repo permissions — handle gracefully and report.

For accepted bugs/RFEs — create Jira ticket:

Use the hyperfleet-jira:jira-ticket-creator skill via the Skill tool, passing the issue context (title, description, component, suggested priority). The skill handles description formatting, Activity Type, Story Points, and all creation best practices.

After creating the Jira ticket, comment on the GitHub issue and add label. Keep the GitHub issue open until the fix is available in the repository:

gh issue comment NUMBER --repo openshift-hyperfleet/REPO_NAME --body "This issue has been accepted and is being tracked in JIRA as [HYPERFLEET-XXX](https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/HYPERFLEET-XXX). We will update this issue when there is progress." 2>/dev/null

gh issue edit NUMBER --repo openshift-hyperfleet/REPO_NAME --add-label "hf-triaged/accepted" 2>&1

Step 4: Report issues open > 3 sprints

Present in a table and ask the user to re-evaluate or close each one:

| Issue | Title | Created | Labels |

Step 5: GitHub Triage Summary

| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Issues triaged | X |
| Accepted (Bug) | X |
| Accepted (RFE) | X |
| Help provided | X |
| Rejected | X |
| Duplicate | X |
| Info requested | X |
| Skipped | X |
| Issues open > 3 sprints | X |

Final Summary

Present a combined summary of all triage actions taken during the session.

Important Rules

• Use jira CLI for Jira and gh CLI for GitHub; do not use other external CLIs, but allowed-tools (AskUserQuestion, Read, Skill) may be used as declared
• Process tickets one at a time — never batch without user confirmation
• Always provide a clear reason when closing tickets
• Skip Jira bugs that already have an assignee — they are already being handled
• When changing priority, always add a comment explaining the rationale
• If a bug applies to multiple components, add ALL related components
• If a bug is not in Hyperfleet scope, move it to the correct Jira Project
• If a bug is really a feature request, convert to Story/Task with [RFE] prefix in "New" status
• For Blocker bugs, immediately tag tech leads AND managers in Slack. 24h goal: fix/workaround OR high-confidence RCA + next steps
• When creating Jira tickets from GitHub issues, always link back to the original issue
• Keep accepted GitHub issues open until the fix is available in the repository
• Use the hyperfleet-jira:jira-ticket-creator skill when creating Jira tickets (handles formatting, Activity Type, and Story Points)
• Consult references/owners.csv to suggest assignees based on component
• Output in English
• ALWAYS include clickable links for every ticket/issue reference
