Labeling Issues

Purpose

Updates labels using the gh issue edit command.

1. Safety & Verification

• Mandatory Context: Ensure gh-verifying-context has been run and confirmed by the user.
• Human-in-the-Loop: You MUST present the proposed labels to be added or removed to the user before execution.
• Existing Labels: Verify the labels exist in the repo first using gh-listing-labels.

2. Common Workflows

Workflow: Add Labels

Attaches new categories to an issue.

Command:

gh issue edit <issue-number> --add-label "bug,triage"

Workflow: Remove Labels

Detaches labels from an issue.

Command:

gh issue edit <issue-number> --remove-label "needs-investigation"
