Add AI issue assessment workflow with github/ai-assessment-comment-labeler by Copilot · Pull Request #1498 · github/github-mcp-server

Copilot · 2025-11-28T08:56:48Z

Closes: #667

Adds AI-powered issue assessment using github/ai-assessment-comment-labeler to automatically analyze new issues.

Changes:

Added .github/workflows/ai-issue-assessment.yml — Workflow triggered on issues with bug label OR newly opened issues without any labels
Added .github/prompts/bug-report-review.prompt.yml — Prompt assessing bug report completeness (description, version, repro steps, expected vs actual, logs)
Added .github/prompts/default-issue-review.prompt.yml — Default prompt for unlabeled issues that analyzes issue type and completeness

Usage:

The workflow runs automatically when an issue is opened without labels
The workflow also runs when an issue receives the bug label
For bug reports: AI assesses completeness and adds labels like ai:bug-report-review:ready for review or ai:bug-report-review:missing details
For unlabeled issues: AI categorizes the issue type (bug, feature request, question, etc.) and assesses clarity

Tradeoffs:

Runs on unlabeled issues and bug labeled issues to balance coverage with noise reduction per issue requirements
Two prompts: bug-specific assessment and a default general assessment for unlabeled issues

Refer to the installer docs that describe in more details how to use this workflow: https://github.com/github/ai-issue-assessment-commenter-installer/blob/main/README.md

Make minimal changes, it's better to run it less often than to create noise. If you are unsure don't add anything.</issue_description>

File	Description
`.github/workflows/ai-issue-assessment.yml`	Defines workflow triggered on issue opened/labeled events, runs AI assessment action with bug report prompt mapping

.github/workflows/ai-issue-assessment.yml

+          issue_number: ${{ github.event.issue.number }}
+          issue_body: ${{ github.event.issue.body }}
+          prompts_directory: '.github/prompts'
+          labels_to_prompts_mapping: 'bug,bug-report-review.prompt.yml'


The labels_to_prompts_mapping parameter maps 'bug' label to 'bug-report-review.prompt.yml', but the workflow also runs for newly opened issues without any labels (line 10). For unlabeled issues, it's unclear which prompt will be used since there's no 'bug' label to match against.

Consider either:

Adding a default prompt mapping for unlabeled issues

Documenting that unlabeled issues won't be assessed (and updating the workflow condition to only run on labeled bugs)

Verifying that the action handles this case appropriately with a fallback prompt

Suggested change

labels_to_prompts_mapping: 'bug,bug-report-review.prompt.yml'

labels_to_prompts_mapping: 'bug,bug-report-review.prompt.yml;default,default-issue-review.prompt.yml'

@copilot but default-issue-review.prompt.yml doesn't exist, can you propose how it could look like?

Created default-issue-review.prompt.yml in 5e1b41c. It analyzes new issues to determine their type (bug, feature request, question, etc.) and assesses whether they have enough information for maintainers to act on.

Let's try it! I hope it suggests to close all my issues labelling as "Won't-fix"
