# GitHub Issue Prioritizer (`github-issue-prioritizer`)

> **Routing Directive:** USE ONLY when calculating issue priority ranks (P0-P3), updating priority labels (`priority:P0`..`P3`), or generating payload updates for GitHub Projects v2 custom fields. DO NOT USE for friction logging (use `github-issue-agent` instead) or task promotion (use `github-issue-backlog-agent` instead).

The `github-issue-prioritizer` skill computes priority ranks from friction tiers, work blockages, and occurrence frequencies to maintain an up-to-date queue of repository tasks.

```bash
# Prioritize an issue via CLI:
python3 plugins/dev-utils/skills/github-issue-prioritizer/scripts/gh_issue_prioritize.py --issue 42
```
