How to triage and label new GitHub issues automatically with Claude Code Action

What you need first

  • Or AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI or Microsoft Foundry, set up through the cloud providers guide

Steps

  1. Copy the Issue Triage and Labeling example from the Solutions Guide
  2. Add your label list to the prompt
  3. Commit the workflow and open a test issue
  4. Review labels for a week before trusting it fully
