TESTING ISSUE DISREGARD

Feature Request

The triage bot currently works best when issues have rich bodies. It would be great if KennyBot could detect whether an issue was created using a GitHub issue template and, if not, post a helpful comment guiding the reporter to fill in relevant details.

Proposed behavior

  1. When an issue is opened without a template, the bot could comment with a gentle reminder (e.g. "It looks like you didn't use a bug report template — please include steps to reproduce, expected behavior, and environment info.")
  2. Optionally, the bot could add a label.

Why this helps

  • Reduces back-and-forth asking for missing info
  • Makes the triage signal stronger (more complete issue bodies → better LLM analysis)
  • Configurable per-repo via the skill (repos that don't want this can opt out)
