Status-first routing, bounded evidence collection, and safety guidance for issue-graph.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# issue-graph core

Use issue-graph to collect GitHub evidence, inspect related work, and prioritize review. Rankings and classifications guide inspection; verify code and behavior before acting.

Run the CLI with Node.js 20 or later. Check `issue-graph auth status` before live queries. GitHub collection uses authenticated `gh`; offline queries, config, and skill loading need no provider credentials. Never request tokens in chat.

## Load detailed workflows

Read `issue-graph skills get core --full` before graph triage, saved queries, status comparisons, reconciliation, planning, exports, or clustering. Retrieve guidance through the CLI; a source checkout is not required. Use `skills list` for discovery and command-specific `--help` for syntax.

If a command or asset is missing, report the CLI/skill mismatch and observed error. Do not fabricate guidance or automatically install, build, link, or upgrade tools. Setup needs authorization.

## Route status first

| Request | Command |
| --- | --- |
| PR counts by author, project, or review state | `issue-graph status owner/repo --author login,other` |
| PR evidence, assignees, requested reviewers | Same scope with `--view prs` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vercel-labs/issue-graph/core@sha256:4c992c63b1655500

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.8bac5f4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
