Mento – AI‑powered triage tool for open‑source maintainers

Description and use

Mento is an AI‑powered tool that fetches GitHub issues, summarizes them, scores urgency, and suggests priorities, learning from maintainer decisions via Sanity.

Problem

Maintainers of large legacy codebases struggle to triage the high volume of daily GitHub issues, leading to missed priorities and wasted effort.

Outcome

Mento reduces manual triage effort, provides consistent urgency scoring, and learns from maintainer actions to improve priority suggestions over time.

Workflow

• 1. Connect Mento to a GitHub repository (no GitHub login required, use an LLM key).
• 2. Mento fetches open issues via the GitHub API.
• 3. For each issue, an LLM generates a concise summary, urgency score (1‑10), key points, and suggested actions.
• 4. The triage pipeline stores data in Sanity, learning from past maintainer decisions.
• 5. Mento presents issue cards with summaries, urgency, and priority suggestions (P0–P4).
• 6. Maintainers review and act on the suggested priorities, updating status in Mento.
• 7. Each triage decision feeds back into Sanity, refining future suggestions.

Evidence

Mento fetches your GitHub issues generates plain English summaries with urgency scores and runs an intelligent triage pipeline that learns from past decisions to suggest P0–P4 priorities.

The more issues you triage the smarter it gets.
