Your good first issue queue might be lying to contributors — so I built StarterQueue

Описание и применение

StarterQueue проверяет репозитории на наличие «good first issue» и сообщает о проблемах, таких как назначение, длительная бездействие, зависимость и открытый PR, закрывающий задачу.

Задача

Good first issue labels can mislead contributors because they do not reflect current issue status such as assignment, inactivity, dependencies, or open pull requests that will close the issue.

Результат

In a test on rust-lang/rust-clippy, StarterQueue audited 117 issues and reported 2 PASS, 76 WARN, and 39 FAIL, revealing that 115 issues had at least one actionable signal.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Run starterqueue audit or launch the TUI with starterqueue
• 2. Enter repository owner/repo
• 3. Audit engine queries GitHub for issue state, assignments, activity, dependencies, PRs, milestones, and lock status
• 4. Rules SQ001–SQ009 evaluate each issue
• 5. Results are categorized as PASS, WARN, or FAIL
• 6. Users browse results, filter by severity, view detailed findings, and jump to issues in the browser

Доказательства

StarterQueue currently has nine rules, each with a stable code from SQ001 to SQ009.
