Label Taxonomy

This repository uses labels to help contributors and maintainers categorize issues and pull requests consistently.

Priority Labels

  • high priority — Critical work that must be addressed before the next release.
  • medium priority — Important work that should be handled soon, but is not urgent.
  • low priority — Nice-to-have improvements or background tasks.

Contribution Readiness

  • good first issue — A beginner-friendly issue with a clear scope and minimal setup.
  • wave-ready — A contribution that is eligible for Drips Wave funding and has a well-defined implementation plan.

Type Labels

  • bug — A defect in the contract, tests, docs, or tooling.
  • testing — Issues related to test coverage, missing tests, or test infrastructure.
  • documentation — Changes to docs, guides, README content, or contributor-facing materials.
  • security — Security reviews, audits, vulnerability fixes, or hardening work.

Workflow Labels

  • needs review — Ready for maintainer review.
  • needs more info — Requires clarification from the issue author before work can begin.
  • in progress — Work is currently underway and not yet ready for review.

How to Use Labels

  • Apply one priority label for triage.
  • Use one or more type labels to describe the work area.
  • Add good first issue only for issues that are easy to onboard new contributors.
  • Add wave-ready when the issue is fully scoped, testable, and eligible for Drips Wave support.

Notes

This taxonomy is intended to improve consistency across issues and pull requests. If a label is missing or needs refinement, open an issue to suggest additions or updates.
