Description

question

Hi @kMutagene

I've successfully been using Repo Assist in a few F# community libraries, see https://dsyme.net/2026/02/25/repo-assist-a-repository-assistant/

Now that the big restructuring is in from last October would you like me to add Repo Assist here? I think we can use it to make progress on the feature backlog and technical debt, and generally take this library forward.

The assist really does three things

  1. Labels issues
  2. Puts analysis comments on issues (usually at most one comment)
  3. Proposes PRs by solving issues or generally "taking the repository forward". It never merges PRs of course.

It can be customized to the specifics of this repo if needed.

Let me know what you think. I've found it makes repo maintenance really quite enjoyable and would be happy to help out here.
