Process GitHub Issues

Automated workflow for processing GitHub Issues from repository.

CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS

YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE RULES. NO EXCEPTIONS.

1. BEADS IS MANDATORY

EVERY issue MUST have a Beads task before fixing. No direct fixes without tracking.

# ALWAYS run this FIRST for each issue:
bd create --type=<bug|task|feature> --priority=<1-3> --title="<issue_title>" --external-ref="gh-<number>"
bd update <task_id> --status=in_progress

2. READ ISSUE COMMENTS (MANDATORY)

ALWAYS read comments to issues — they contain valuable insights:

# View issue with all comments
gh issue view <number> --comments

# Or via API for structured data
gh api repos/maslennikov-ig/BuhBot/issues/<number>/comments --jq '.[].body'

What to analyze in comments:

• User clarifications: Additional context about the problem
• Suggested solutions: Community/team members often propose fixes
• Workarounds: Temporary solutions that hint at root cause
• Related issues: Links to other issues with same problem
• Screenshots/logs: Additional debugging information

Decision making for suggestions:

Include in analysis:

### Comments Analysis

- **Useful suggestions**: <list helpful comments>
- **Decision**: Adopt / Modify / Reject with reason

3. SEARCH SIMILAR PROBLEMS FIRST (MANDATORY)

Before fixing ANY issue, search BOTH sources:

2a. Search in Beads (closed tasks)

# Search by keywords from issue title/body
bd search "<keyword>" --type=bug --status=closed
bd search "<keyword>" --type=task --status=closed

# Example searches:
bd search "silent failure"
bd search "telegram"
bd search "SLA"

What to look for in Beads:

• Similar issue patterns in task titles
• Root cause analysis in task descriptions
• Fix approach and files changed

2b. Search in GitHub (closed issues)

# Search closed issues
gh issue list --state closed --search "<keyword>"

# View specific closed issue for context
gh issue view <number>

2c. If found similar resolved issue

1. From Beads: Read task description for root cause and fix approach
2. From GitHub: Read the closing comment — contains solution
3. Apply same solution pattern if applicable
4. Reference in your fix: Similar to buh-xxx / gh-NN. Same fix applied.

4. CONTEXT7 IS MANDATORY

ALWAYS query documentation before implementing:

mcp__context7__resolve-library-id → mcp__context7__query-docs

When to use:

• React/Next.js patterns
• Supabase queries
• BullMQ job handling
• Telegraf bot patterns
• Any external library involved

5. TASK COMPLEXITY ROUTING

Route tasks by complexity:

Subagent selection for MEDIUM tasks:

6. ISSUE LABELS → PRIORITY MAPPING

7. BUG FIXING PRINCIPLES

This is PRODUCTION. Every bug matters.

Fix fundamentally, not superficially:

• Find and fix the ROOT CAUSE, not just symptoms
• If error happens in function X but cause is in function Y → fix Y
• Don't add workarounds/hacks that mask the problem
• Ask: "Why did this happen?" until you reach the actual cause

Quality over speed:

• Take time to understand the full context
• Test the fix mentally: "What else could break?"
• Check for similar patterns elsewhere in codebase
• One good fix > multiple quick patches

Usage

Invoke via: /process-issues or "обработай GitHub issues"

Optional arguments:

• /process-issues --label=bug — only bug issues
• /process-issues --limit=5 — process max 5 issues
• /process-issues 123 — process specific issue #123

Workflow

Step 1: Fetch Open Issues

# Get all open issues sorted by priority
gh issue list --state open --json number,title,labels,body,createdAt --limit 50

# Or filter by label
gh issue list --state open --label bug --json number,title,labels,body

Step 2: Analyze Each Issue

For each open issue:

1. Read issue details:

   bashCopy

   gh issue view <number>
   

2. Read and analyze comments (MANDATORY):

   bashCopy

   # View issue with all comments
   gh issue view <number> --comments
   
   # Or get comments via API for parsing
   gh api repos/maslennikov-ig/BuhBot/issues/<number>/comments
   

   Analyze each comment for:

   • Proposed solutions or code fixes
   • Additional context/reproduction steps
   • Links to related issues or PRs
   • Workarounds that hint at root cause

   Make decision: Adopt useful suggestions, note rejected ones with reason.

3. Extract key information:

   • Issue type (bug/feature/enhancement)
   • Affected files/components (from description)
   • Error messages (if bug)
   • Expected behavior
   • Useful suggestions from comments

4. Search for similar resolved issues (MANDATORY):

   bashCopy

   # In Beads
   bd search "<keyword from issue>"
   
   # In GitHub
   gh issue list --state closed --search "<keyword>"
   

Step 3: Create Analysis Plan

For each issue, generate:

## Issue #NN: <title>

### Type & Priority

- Type: bug | feature | enhancement | UX
- Priority: P0 (blocker) | P1 (critical) | P2 (important) | P3 (nice-to-have)

### Comments Analysis

- **Total comments**: N
- **Useful suggestions**:
  - @user1: "Suggested fix X" → **Adopt** (valid approach)
  - @user2: "Try workaround Y" → **Note** (temporary, need proper fix)
  - @user3: "Related to #MM" → **Investigate** (check linked issue)
- **Rejected suggestions**:
  - @user4: "Do Z" → **Reject** (outdated, doesn't match current architecture)

### Similar Issues Found

- Beads: buh-xxx (similar problem with X, fixed by Y)
- GitHub: #NN (same root cause, fix in commit abc123)

### Root Cause Analysis

<Why this happens>

### Proposed Solution

1. <Step 1>
2. <Step 2>

### Files to Modify

- `path/to/file1.ts` — description
- `path/to/file2.tsx` — description

### Subagent Assignment

- Subagent: <name> | Execute directly
- Complexity: Simple | Medium | Complex

### Context7 Queries Needed

- [ ] Next.js: <topic>
- [ ] Supabase: <topic>
- [ ] Telegraf: <topic>

Step 4: Create Beads Tasks

For each issue:

# Create task with external reference
bd create "<issue_title>" -t <bug|task|feature> -p <1-3> \
  --external-ref="gh-<number>" \
  -d "<root_cause_and_solution>"

# Save the task ID for tracking

Task description template:

GitHub Issue: #<number>
Root Cause: <why this happens>
Solution: <what needs to be done>
Files: <list of files>
Similar to: buh-xxx / gh-NN (if found)

Step 5: Propose Execution Plan

Present to user:

## GitHub Issues Processing Plan

### Summary

| #   | Issue | Type | Priority | Similar Found | Subagent           |
| --- | ----- | ---- | -------- | ------------- | ------------------ |
| 1   | #NN   | bug  | P1       | buh-xxx       | database-architect |
| 2   | #MM   | UX   | P2       | —             | nextjs-ui-designer |

### Beads Tasks Created

- buh-aaa: Issue #NN (P1)
- buh-bbb: Issue #MM (P2)

### Execution Order (by priority)

1. **P0-P1 (Critical)**: #NN, #MM
2. **P2 (Important)**: #XX
3. **P3 (Nice-to-have)**: #YY

### Questions for User

- Issue #ZZ: Need clarification on <topic>
- Issue #WW: Complex change, approve approach?

### Ready to Execute?

- [ ] Approve plan
- [ ] Modify priorities
- [ ] Skip certain issues

Step 6: Execute Fixes (After User Approval)

For each issue in priority order:

1. Claim Beads task:

   bashCopy

   bd update <task_id> --status=in_progress
   

2. Query Context7 (if needed):

   Copy

   mcp__context7__resolve-library-id → mcp__context7__query-docs
   

3. Delegate or Execute:

   • Simple: Execute directly
   • Medium: Delegate to subagent
   • Complex: Ask user first

4. Verify:

   bashCopy

   npm run type-check
   npm run build
   

5. Close GitHub Issue:

   bashCopy

   gh issue close <number> --comment "Fixed in commit <sha>
   
   **Solution:**
   <description of fix>
   
   Beads task: <task_id>"
   

6. Close Beads Task:

   bashCopy

   bd close <task_id> --reason="Fixed: <description>"
   

Step 7: Summary Report

## Issues Processing Complete

### Results

| Issue | Status   | Beads Task | Commit |
| ----- | -------- | ---------- | ------ |
| #NN   | Fixed    | buh-aaa    | abc123 |
| #MM   | Fixed    | buh-bbb    | def456 |
| #XX   | Deferred | buh-ccc    | —      |

### Deferred Issues (need user input)

- #XX: <reason>

### Commits Made

- `abc123`: fix: <description>
- `def456`: feat: <description>

### Validation

- Type Check: PASS
- Build: PASS
