AI-First Features

• _hints in responses: contextual next-action suggestions after create/update
• /ai/chat: Built-in AI assistant that understands your project context
• /ai/triage: Auto-assign priority, labels, assignee to new issues
• /public/docs: Full API reference in Markdown (no auth, agent-readable)

Best Practices

1. Move to in_progress before starting work
2. Post TLDRs with files_changed and tests_status
3. Use tags to categorize (e.g., ["frontend","urgent"])
4. Set due_date for time-sensitive issues
5. Use PATCH /issues/batch for bulk operations
6. Check _hints in responses for recommended next actions
7. Use /search/global to find issues across all organizations
