## Overview

Labels every new issue by area and priority and assigns it to the right owner, so nothing sits untriaged.

## How it works

1. Runs when a new issue is opened.
2. Read and label new issues with GitHub.
3. Cross-post the triaged issue with Linear (optional).

## Example output

Issue opened: “Playground hangs on large testsets”

1. Read the issue and matched it against the area labels
2. Set area:playground and priority:high
3. Assigned the owner listed for that area

Labelled area:playground · priority:high and assigned it. It matches two open issues about the same load path — linked them on the thread.

## How to set this up

1. Use it for free. Agenta creates the agent from this template in your workspace.
2. Connect GitHub and Linear. Each app connects from the setup screen.
3. Test, then let it run. Run it once to check the result. Then the trigger takes over.

## What it needs

- GitHub account
- Linear account (Optional)

## Apps
