Ha Emby Issue Selector

Home Assistant Emby Issue Selector

Overview

Select the next issue to work on using priority-based logic and route to the appropriate workflow.

This skill queries the GitHub project board, prioritizes issues, and directs you to either bug investigation or implementation based on issue type and status.

When to Use

• Starting a work session
• Completed an issue and need the next one
• User asks "what should I work on?"
• User asks to "pick up the next issue"

Priority Order

Issues are selected in this priority order:

Selection Workflow

Step 1: Check for In-Progress Work

# Check if I have work in progress
gh issue list \
  --label "status: in-progress" \
  --assignee @me \
  --state open \
  -L 5

# Also check episodic memory for session context

If in-progress work exists: Resume that issue first.

Step 2: Query High-Priority Items

# Critical confirmed bugs (highest priority)
gh issue list \
  --label "bug" \
  --label "confirmed" \
  --label "priority: critical" \
  --state open \
  -L 5

# High-priority confirmed bugs
gh issue list \
  --label "bug" \
  --label "confirmed" \
  --label "priority: high" \
  --state open \
  -L 5

# Critical bugs needing investigation
gh issue list \
  --label "bug" \
  --label "ai-triaged" \
  --label "priority: critical" \
  --state open \
  -L 5

# High-priority bugs needing investigation
gh issue list \
  --label "bug" \
  --label "ai-triaged" \
  --label "priority: high" \
  --state open \
  -L 5

Step 3: Query Enhancement Requests

# High-priority enhancements
gh issue list \
  --label "enhancement" \
  --label "priority: high" \
  --state open \
  -L 5

# Medium-priority enhancements
gh issue list \
  --label "enhancement" \
  --label "priority: medium" \
  --state open \
  -L 5

Step 4: Check Medium/Low Priority

# Medium-priority bugs
gh issue list \
  --label "bug" \
  --label "priority: medium" \
  --state open \
  -L 5

# Low-priority items
gh issue list \
  --label "priority: low" \
  --state open \
  -L 5

Step 5: Fallback - Oldest Issues

# Oldest unassigned open issues
gh issue list \
  --state open \
  --json number,title,labels,createdAt \
  --jq 'sort_by(.createdAt) | .[0:5]'

Routing Logic

After selecting an issue, route to the appropriate skill:

Skip Conditions

Skip issues with these labels:

# Exclude blocked issues from query
gh issue list \
  --label "bug" \
  --label "confirmed" \
  --state open \
  --json number,title,labels \
  --jq '[.[] | select(.labels | map(.name) | contains(["needs-info"]) | not)]'

Output Format

After selecting an issue, announce:

## Selected Issue

**Issue:** #42 - WebSocket disconnects on server restart
**Type:** Bug (confirmed)
**Priority:** High
**Components:** websocket, api
**Assigned:** @me

**Routing to:** ha-emby-issue-executor

**Next steps:**
1. Create branch: `issue-42-websocket-reconnect`
2. Review issue details and comments
3. Begin TDD implementation

Or for bugs needing investigation:

## Selected Issue

**Issue:** #43 - Media player shows wrong album art
**Type:** Bug (needs investigation)
**Priority:** Medium
**Components:** media-player, api
**Assigned:** @me

**Routing to:** ha-emby-bug-triage

**Next steps:**
1. Start local HA environment
2. Configure to match reporter's setup
3. Attempt reproduction
4. Gather evidence
5. Update issue with findings

Claim the Issue

Before routing, claim the issue:

# Assign to self
gh issue edit {N} --add-assignee @me

# Update status
gh issue edit {N} --add-label "status: investigating"
# or
gh issue edit {N} --add-label "status: in-progress"

# Comment that work is starting
gh issue comment {N} --body "Starting investigation on this issue."

Memory Integration

Check episodic memory first:

• Previous work on this issue?
• Related issues already investigated?
• Decisions made in prior sessions?

After selecting:

• Record selected issue in memory
• Note routing decision
• Track session start

Common Scenarios

Scenario: User says "work on bugs"

# Focus query on bugs only
gh issue list \
  --label "bug" \
  --state open \
  --json number,title,labels \
  -L 20

# Apply priority ordering
# Route based on confirmed/unconfirmed

Scenario: User says "what's the most urgent?"

# Query critical first
gh issue list --label "priority: critical" --state open -L 5

# Then high priority
gh issue list --label "priority: high" --state open -L 5

Scenario: User says "continue where I left off"

# Check in-progress first
gh issue list --label "status: in-progress" --assignee @me --state open

# Check memory for last session's work

Scenario: User points to specific issue

Skip selection, validate the issue exists, claim it, and route directly.

The Bottom Line

1. Check in-progress work first
2. Query by priority order
3. Skip blocked/waiting issues
4. Claim before routing
5. Route to correct workflow:
   • Unconfirmed bugs → ha-emby-bug-triage
   • Confirmed bugs → ha-emby-issue-executor
   • Features → ha-emby-issue-executor
