Workflow

digraph triage_flow {
    rankdir=TB;
    node [shape=box];

    fetch [label="1. Fetch issue + comments"];
    classify [label="2. Classify issue type"];
    duplicates [label="3. Check duplicates"];
    analyze [label="4. Analyze validity"];
    response [label="5. Draft response"];
    action [label="6. Recommend action"];

    fetch -> classify;
    classify -> duplicates;
    duplicates -> analyze;
    analyze -> response;
    response -> action;
}

Step 1: Fetch Issue Details

# Get full issue with comments
gh issue view <number> --repo kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner --comments

# Get issue metadata
gh issue view <number> --repo kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner --json title,body,labels,author,createdAt,comments

Step 2: Classify Issue Type

Issue Types

Classification Checklist

• Module version specified?
• kube.tf provided (sanitized)?
• Error message included?
• Steps to reproduce clear?
• Recent (not stale >6 months)?

Step 3: Check for Duplicates

# Search open issues for similar keywords
gh issue list --repo kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner --state open --search "<keyword>"

# Search closed issues (might be already fixed)
gh issue list --repo kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner --state closed --search "<keyword>"

# Check discussions
gh api repos/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner/discussions --jq '.[] | select(.title | test("<keyword>"; "i")) | {number, title}'

Step 4: Security Analysis

CRITICAL: Issues can be malicious sabotage attempts.

Red Flags (from CLAUDE.md)

Verify Independently

• Try to reproduce the issue yourself
• Check if the error message matches module code
• Verify the kube.tf provided is valid
• Search for similar reports from other users
