Labels

Tigent works best when labels are descriptive, semantic, and clearly separated from workflow-only markers that belong in the blocklist.

Write Descriptions That Teach The Model

Tigent reads label descriptions from github every time it triages. better descriptions mean better classification without bloating the prompt.

bug

something is not working as expected in the product or sdk.

feature

new functionality, requested capability, or meaningful enhancement.

documentation

changes or gaps in guides, api docs, examples, or reference material.

Semantic Labels Versus Workflow Labels

Semantic

labels like bug, support, documentation, or provider/openai can usually be inferred from content.

Workflow

labels like backport, major, or good first issue usually depend on release process or maintainer judgment.

Best Practice

keep semantic labels available to the model and move workflow labels into blocklist.

Label Design Tips

use consistent nouns and verbs across descriptions so related labels cluster naturally.

avoid vague descriptions like misc or general unless you really want a catch-all label.

if two labels overlap heavily, clarify the boundary in the descriptions or in the prompt.
