Drupal Issue Queue

Drupal Issue Queue

Guardrails

• Keep all operations read-only.
• Use official interfaces only: Drupal.org API and drupalorg-cli.
• Keep requests single-threaded, cached, and rate-limited.
• Respect request budgets and Retry-After headers.
• Prefer small, scoped queries with explicit limits.

Commands

Global backend options:

• --backend auto|api|drupalorg (default: auto)
• --drupalorg-bin <command-or-path> (default: drupalorg; alias-friendly via login shell)

Summarize an issue

python scripts/dorg.py --format json issue <nid-or-url>
python scripts/dorg.py --format md issue <nid-or-url>
python scripts/dorg.py --backend drupalorg --format json issue <nid-or-url> --resolve-tags none --files-limit 0

Common options:

• --mode summary|full (default: summary)
• --comments N (default: 10 in summary mode, 50 in full mode)
• --files-limit N|all|0 (default: 10)
• --resolve-tags none|api|static (default: api)
• --tag-map path/to/map.json (required when --resolve-tags=static)
• --related-mrs or --extra-credit
• --max-requests, --sleep-ms, --cache-ttl, --user-agent

When --backend=drupalorg, this command supports issue + comments only. Use:

• --resolve-tags none
• --files-limit 0
• no --related-mrs / --extra-credit

Search issues in a project

python scripts/dorg.py --format json search --project <machine_name>
python scripts/dorg.py --backend drupalorg --format json search --project <machine_name> --status rtbc

Common filters:

• --status <alias|code>
• --priority <alias|code>
• --category <alias|code>
• --version <string>
• --component <string>
• --tag-tid <tid>
• --limit N --sort changed|created|nid --direction ASC|DESC

drupalorg backend search supports only:

• status: needs review (8) or rtbc (14)
• default sort/direction (changed + DESC)
• no priority/category/version/component/tag filters

Outputs

• JSON output is structured for downstream agents; see references/output-schema.md.
• Markdown output provides a human-readable summary and is suitable for briefings.
• Output includes a source block with backend metadata and optional auto-fallback reason.
