Labelling Strategy

This document defines the label taxonomy used in the hexaTuneProto GitHub repository. These labels help organize issues and pull requests for better triage, automation, and collaboration.

Meta Labels

  • default:unclassified – No specific category matched this PR or file path

Contribution Labels

  • good first issue – Good entry point for contributors
  • help wanted – Contributions welcome

Module Labels

  • module:source – Effected source code
  • module:docs – Documentation tasks
  • module:cli – CLI tools

Priority Labels

  • priority:high – Urgent and critical tasks
  • priority:medium – Normal importance
  • priority:low – Can wait

Status Labels

  • status:blocked – Blocked by another issue or PR
  • status:needs-review – Awaiting code review
  • status:needs-spec – Needs specification or detail
  • status:waiting-feedback – Awaiting external feedback

##️ Type Labels

  • type:bug – A defect or malfunction
  • type:ci – CI/CD workflows and automation tasks
  • type:compliance – Standards, audits, and certification checks (e.g., OpenSSF)
  • type:doc – Documentation content
  • type:enhancement – Enhancement of existing functionality
  • type:feature – New feature or capability
  • type:infra – Infrastructure, CI/CD, build system
  • type:legal – Legal compliance tasks like DCO/CLA
  • type:refactor – Code restructuring with no behavior change
  • type:release – Tasks related to versioning, packaging, and publishing
  • type:security – Vulnerability or security concern
  • type:test – Test writing or coverage

Best Practices

  • Use exactly one type: label per issue/PR
  • Use at most one priority: label
  • Assign status: labels to track board movement
  • Apply module: labels to indicate affected areas
  • default:unclassified should be removed once other labels are assigned

This standardized labeling system enables GitHub automation, PR triage, and progress tracking across the hexaTuneProto project.
