Rule: Work In Progress Detection

Overview

Identifies PRs that are marked as work-in-progress or draft based on title patterns.

Label Metadata

• Label Name: work-in-progress
• Color: 6a737d (Gray)
• Description: PR marked as work-in-progress or draft

Detection Logic

Check PR title for WIP/Draft indicators:

• Case-insensitive matching
• Patterns: WIP, Draft, [WIP], [DRAFT], (WIP), (DRAFT)
• Position: Beginning or anywhere in title

Regex Patterns

• ^(WIP|DRAFT|\[WIP\]|\[DRAFT\]|\\(WIP\\)|\\(DRAFT\\))
• Case-insensitive flag

Example Titles That Trigger

• WIP: Add new feature
• [DRAFT] Refactor auth system
• (WIP) Update documentation
• Add login page - WIP

Example Titles That Do NOT Trigger

• Add new feature
• WIPping the data (substring, not prefix)
• Work in progress (full words, not abbreviation)

Test Cases Needed

• Detects WIP prefix
• Detects DRAFT prefix
• Detects bracketed indicators
• Detects parenthetical indicators
• Case-insensitive matching
• Handles WIP anywhere in title

Edge Cases

• wip lowercase - should detect
• WIPping - should not trigger (avoid false positives)
• Multiple indicators - should still detect

Integration Notes

• Useful for filtering draft PRs
• May want to combine with GitHub Draft PR status (but check title for manual marking)
• Consider auto-removing label when title changes

Priority

Medium - Useful for PR management
