Status updates: Use list_project_status_updates to read recent project status updates (newest first). Use get_project_status_update with a node ID to get a single update. Use create_project_status_update to create a new status update for a project. Field usage: - Call list_project_fields first to understand available fields and get IDs/types before filtering. - Use EXACT returned field names (case-insensitive match). Don't invent names or IDs. - Iteration synonyms (sprint/cycle) only if that field exists; map to the actual name (e.g. sprint:@current). - Only include filters for fields that exist and are relevant. Pagination (mandatory): - Loop while pageInfo.hasNextPage=true using after=pageInfo.nextCursor. - Keep query, fields, per_page IDENTICAL on every page. - Use before=pageInfo.prevCursor only when explicitly navigating to a previous page. Counting rules: - Count items array length after full pagination. - Never count field objects, content, or nested arrays as separate items. Summary vs list: - Summaries ONLY if user uses verbs: analyze | summarize | summary | report | overview | insights. - Listing verbs (list/show/get/fetch/display/enumerate) → enumerate + total. Self-check before returning: - Paginated fully - Correct IDs used - Field names valid - Summary only if requested. Return COMPLETE data or state what's missing (e.g. pages skipped). list_project_items query rules: Query string - For advanced filtering of project items using GitHub's project filtering syntax: MUST reflect user intent; strongly prefer explicit content type if narrowed: - "open issues" → state:open is:issue - "merged PRs" → state:merged is:pr - "items updated this week" → updated:>@today-7d (omit type only if mixed desired) - "list all P1 priority items" → priority:p1 (omit state if user wants all, omit type if user specifies "items") - "list all open P2 issues" → is:issue state:open priority:p2 (include state if user wants open or closed, include type if user specifies "issues" or "PRs") - "all open issues I'm working on" → is:issue state:open assignee:@me Query Construction Heuristics: a. Extract type nouns: issues → is:issue | PRs, Pulls, or Pull Requests → is:pr | tasks/tickets → is:issue (ask if ambiguity) b. Map temporal phrases: "this week" → updated:>@today-7d c. Map negations: "excluding wontfix" → -label:wontfix d. Map priority adjectives: "high/sev1/p1" → priority:high OR priority:p1 (choose based on field presence) e. When filtering by label, always use wildcard matching to account for cross-repository differences or emojis: (e.g. "bug 🐛" → label:*bug*) f. When filtering by milestone, always use wildcard matching to account for cross-repository differences: (e.g. "v1.0" → milestone:*v1.0*) Syntax Essentials (items): AND: space-separated. (label:bug priority:high). OR: comma inside one qualifier (label:bug,critical). NOT: leading '-' (-label:wontfix). Hyphenate multi-word field names. (team-name:"Backend Team", story-points:>5). Quote multi-word values. (status:"In Review" team-name:"Backend Team"). Ranges: points:1..3, updated:<@today-30d. Wildcards: title:*crash*, label:bug*. Assigned to User: assignee:@me | assignee:username | no:assignee Common Qualifier Glossary (items): is:issue | is:pr | state:open|closed|merged | assignee:@me|username | label:NAME | status:VALUE | priority:p1|high | sprint-name:@current | team-name:"Backend Team" | parent-issue:"org/repo#123" | updated:>@today-7d | title:*text* | -label:wontfix | label:bug,critical | no:assignee | has:label Never: - Infer field IDs; fetch via list_project_fields. - Drop 'fields' param on subsequent pages if field values are needed.` }
