The deep-report workflow analyzes repository data but only creates discussion reports. This adds automatic GitHub issue creation for up to 3 high-impact, low-effort improvement tasks identified during analysis.

Changes

Workflow Configuration (.github/workflows/deep-report.md):

  • Added create-issue to safe-outputs with max 3 issues, prefix [deep-report], labels automation, improvement, quick-win
  • Modified agent instructions in Step 3.5 and "Actionable Agentic Tasks" section to explicitly create GitHub issues
  • Added "Final Steps" section: create issues, then create discussion report

Issue Content Structure:
Each created issue contains:

  • Action-oriented title (e.g., "Reduce token usage in daily-news workflow")
  • Description with what/why
  • Expected impact
  • Suggested agent
  • Estimated effort (Quick/Medium/Fast)
  • Reference to analysis run

Example Output

safe-outputs:
  create-discussion:
    category: "reports"
    max: 1
  create-issue:
    title-prefix: "[deep-report] "
    labels: [automation, improvement, quick-win]
    max: 3

When the workflow identifies actionable tasks like "Add missing cache configuration to 3 high-frequency workflows" or "Optimize token usage in verbose agent prompts", it now creates trackable issues instead of only documenting them in discussions.

Original prompt

Update deep report to create issues if it identifies clearly actionable tasks that will improve the project

Max 3
