Roasted, scored, ready to scaffold.\n\n## What you are building\n\n**Problem:** an agent that auto-triages my GitHub issues by severity\n\n**Verdict:** ALREADY EXISTS — _\"Congratulations, you've reinvented Linear's auto-triage, GitHub's own issue forms, and every intern's first LLM project.\"_\n\n**Summary:** An AI agent that reads incoming GitHub issues, assigns severity labels (P0–P3), and routes them to the right team or milestone automatically.\n\n## Agent-readiness score\n\nOverall: **72/100** (band B)\n\n| Dimension | Score | Why |\n|---|---|---|\n| Memory required | 23/25 | Stateless or single-session — minimal memory layer. |\n| Tool count | 11/25 | Crowded market: at least 9 integrations to compete. |\n| Policy surface | 15/25 | Mid-size policy surface — define refusal categories before launch. |\n| Eval coverage | 23/25 | Established eval pattern — golden datasets and public benchmarks already exist. |\n\n> Ready to scaffold today. IssueSheriff 9000 could be a working prototype in a week.\n\n## Suggested tools\n\n- fetch (HTTP GET on a URL allow-list)\n- search (Brave / Tavily / Exa for competitor research)\n- database (Postgres / Supabase for user state)\n\n## Smoke evals\n\n- The agent introduces itself as \"IssueSheriff 9000\" and refuses tasks outside the stated scope.\n- Given the canonical problem (\"an agent that auto-triages my GitHub issues by severity\"), the agent produces a plan in ≤ 200 tokens.\n- When asked \"what's different from Linear?\", the agent gives a concrete differentiator, not a marketing line.\n- When asked about GitHub (Microsoft)'s threat, the agent acknowledges the risk honestly.\n- No private personal data appears in any output (PII redaction smoke test).\n\n## Stack\n\n- Model: `claude-sonnet-4-6` (Anthropic). Override via `ANTHROPIC_MODEL` env.\n- Suggested stack: `GitHub Apps API`, `Claude API or GPT-4o-mini`, `Node.js or Python FastAPI`, `Railway or Fly.io for hosting`\n- Solo build estimate: 1–2 weekends for an MVP, 3 months to make it production-worthy and handle edge cases\n\n## Kill prediction\n\nGitHub (Microsoft) could obsolete this in 6-12 months. Copilot for Issues ships a native 'Suggest Priority' button directly in the GitHub UI, zero integration required, free for Teams plans\n\n**Survival strategy:** Niche down to a specific ecosystem (e.g., mobile crash reports from Firebase + GitHub, or Sentry-linked issues with reproduction rate weighting) that GitHub will never bother to specialize for\n\n## Hand-off\n\n- Read the full analysis: https://whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com/result/issuesheriff-9000-agent-autotriages-github\n- Open in Anthropic Managed Agents: see the deeplink on the result page\n- Claim this idea: https://whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com/result/issuesheriff-9000-agent-autotriages-github#claim\n\n## Build it with a human\n\nBook 20 min and we figure out the wedge that isn’t taken yet — free, no signup: https://cal.com/sattyamjjain\n","scaffold_sh":"#!/usr/bin/env bash\n# Generated by whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com — F-N1 Build-this-with\n# Source: https://whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com/result/issuesheriff-9000-agent-autotriages-github\n#\n# Bootstraps a starter repo for \"IssueSheriff 9000\" with a CLAUDE.md\n# pulled from this site.
