    Step 2

    On each firing, classify the thread with your own criteria: bug, question, feature request, praise.

Common questions

Which forums?

Any public Discourse instance. discatch ships a seeded list and adds forums on request. Use site:community.example.com in the query to restrict to one forum.

How does classify decide what is a bug?

You pass your own criteria to the classify call. The default suggestion is "bug, question, feature request, praise" but any set of labels works. The classifier uses an LLM under the hood, charged as a classify unit.

Can I file to a tracker other than GitHub?

Yes. Use a webhook destination and point it at your tracker’s API. The payload carries the result, the classification, and the thread URL.

Does this work with GitHub Discussions too?

Yes. GitHub is a first-class source covering Issues, Discussions, and READMEs. Set sources to github and the forum-triage pattern applies to repository threads the same way.
