Usage
code
/issue-audit [team name]
Examples:

What Happens
- •Invokes the team-organization-analyzer agent with your team name
- •Agent fetches team structure: workflow states, labels, cycles
- •Samples 9 issues (3 active, 3 completed, 3 backlog)
- •Analyzes patterns and infers conventions
What You'll Learn
- •Workflow: How issues flow through states (Triage -> Done)
- •Labels: What taxonomy the team uses (Type, Area, Priority)
- •Cycles: Whether they use sprints and cadence
- •Patterns: How they write issues (descriptions, titles, hierarchy)
- •Conventions: What a new PM should follow
Sample Size Philosophy
9 issues is intentional - enough to observe patterns without overwhelming. The agent:
- •Won't apologize for limited data
- •Reports specific observations ("5 of 9 have descriptions")
- •Infers conventions from patterns
- •Offers concrete drill-down prompts
After the Report
Explore further:
- •"Show me issue [ID]" - Full details on any sample
- •"Show me 3 parent issues" - See epic structure
- •"Show me issues labeled [X]" - Filter by label
- •"Run /issue-audit on [other team]" - Compare patterns
