beneissue 1.0.8

AI-powered GitHub issue automation framework

beneissue

Drowning in GitHub issues? Install beneissue once, and it handles the rest automatically.

Who is this for?

• Open source maintainers with 100+ issues piling up
• Small teams who can't afford to manually label every issue
• Solo developers who want typo fixes handled automatically

What changes after you install it?

Before	After
Issue opened → check it days later	Issue opened → instantly classified + labeled
Manually comment "need more info"	Auto-asks specific follow-up questions
Fix simple bugs yourself	Auto-eligible issues get auto-PR via Claude Code

Install once, runs forever

1. Install the package

pip install beneissue

2. Set up GitHub repository secrets

Go to your repo → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions, and add:

Secret	Required	Description
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY	Yes	Your Claude API key
LANGCHAIN_API_KEY	No	LangSmith for tracing

3. Initialize in your repo

cd your-repo
beneissue init
git add .github/ .claude/
git commit -m "Add beneissue automation"
git push

That's it. From now on:

1. New issue opened → automatically triaged and labeled
2. Auto-eligible issues → Claude Code creates a PR
3. Need manual control? → just comment on the issue

Control via issue comments

@beneissue triage    # Re-classify this issue
@beneissue analyze   # Run full analysis
@beneissue fix       # Attempt auto-fix now

No CLI needed. Just talk to the bot in the issue thread.

How it works

Issue opened
    ↓
[Triage] → valid / invalid / duplicate / needs-info
    ↓
[Analyze] → affected files, fix approach, checklist
    ↓
[Fix] → auto-eligible? → Claude Code creates PR

Verify it's working

When issues get these labels automatically, you're set:

• triage/valid — Valid issue, ready for work
• fix/auto-eligible — Will be auto-fixed
