GitHub PR And Issue Triage CLI Extension Guide

Start Here

Use the table as a quick chooser. The goal is to separate review-thread work, stacked changes, dependency queues, metrics, and planning tools.

Starter Pack

Inspect the workflow-specific install bundle, then install only the extensions that match your workflow. Do not pipe install bundles directly into a shell.
