Issue Triage Commands

Trusted repository members whose numeric GitHub user IDs are listed in the issue triage workflow can run the commands below. These commands work only on issues. Comments on pull requests are ignored, and the workflow token has no pull-request write permission.

Commands

/triage adds the needs-triage label.
/triageoff removes the needs-triage label when it is present.
/np closes the issue as not planned.
/np wontfix adds the wontfix label without replacing existing labels, then closes the issue as not planned.
/np notrelated adds the not-related label without replacing existing labels, then closes the issue as not planned.
/np <reason> closes the issue as not planned without adding a label for unrecognized reasons.
/duplicate <issue number> closes the issue as a duplicate of another issue. The positive issue number may optionally start with #; pull request numbers are rejected.

Command handling

Put exactly one command in the comment. Leading and trailing whitespace is allowed, but text before or after the command is not. Command matching is case-insensitive, and malformed issue numbers are rejected.

After a command is handled, the workflow deletes the command comment and leaves an audit comment describing the result. A missing duplicate target or a request to duplicate an issue into itself is reported without closing the issue. Unexpected GitHub API failures stop the workflow and leave the command comment available for retry.

Access

Access is granted by adding the trusted member’s immutable numeric GitHub user ID to .github/workflows/triage-tools.yaml through a pull request. Abuse can result in removal from the allowlist or other repository moderation action.
