This GitHub issue formatter template transforms messy bug notes, user complaints, or feature ideas into well-structured issues that developers can act on quickly. It helps the model separate problem statements, reproduction steps, expected behavior, and acceptance criteria so the issue is easier to triage and assign. The result is especially valuable when reports come from support teams, PMs, or non-technical stakeholders who need help expressing the technical details clearly.
It works well for product teams, open-source maintainers, and QA engineers who want consistent issue quality across a backlog. The prompt can generate either a bug report or a feature request, depending on the input, and it can add labels, priority hints, and environment details when provided. This reduces back-and-forth in issue comments and gives engineers enough context to reproduce or estimate the work. You can also use it to normalize incoming reports before importing them into Jira or Linear.
Customize the template with {{RAW_NOTES}}, {{ISSUE_TYPE}}, and {{PRODUCT_AREA}}. Add {{REPRO_STEPS}}, {{EXPECTED_BEHAVIOR}}, and {{ENVIRONMENT}} to improve precision for bug reports. The output should include a title, summary, steps to reproduce, expected vs actual behavior, and acceptance criteria in GitHub-friendly markdown. For best results, specify whether the issue should sound technical, user-facing, or triage-ready.
