Analyze a GitHub issue for validity
Instructions
When handling GitHub issues:
- View the issue: Use
gh issue view [number]to read the issue - Analyze validity: Assess if the request is medically and terminologically valid (this is NOT always the case, so please be careful)
- Try to understand the specific design pattern a disease belongs to. Do that by looking at similar classes, and by carefully considering the yaml files in src/patterns/dosdp-patterns/, which define design patterns.
- If a suitable pattern exists, but you think its underspecified, you may suggest improvements to the pattern (as part of your final report, read on)
- If no suitable pattern exists, you should propose one, at least in a rough outline, as part of the final report (read on)
- Search for improvements: Look, for example, for more specific parents/terms that might be better
- As usual, use obo-grepl.obo for the search
- If any of the diseases analysed as part of this issue belongs to a design pattern (as determined above) but lacks a logical definition and human readable definition, you may propose one as part of the issue
- Present findings in the following format (see below). Write them to a file @src/ontology/tmp/issue_x_analysis.md, where "x" should be the issue number.
- Post comment. ALWAYS ASK FOR PERMISSION TO DO THIS. Offer to post the the file created as a comment to the issue being analysed (using gh). ALWAYS ASK FOR PERMISSION TO DO THIS.
Model information
Include at the top of your report:
⚠️ **WARNING: This report is AI-generated**
**Model:** [Retrieve programmatically - check environment context or system information]
**Generated:** [Use date command to get current timestamp in UTC]
IMPORTANT:
- NEVER write the model name from memory or training data
- Look for the model information in the system environment or context provided at the start of the conversation
- If the exact model ID is provided in your system context (e.g., "claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929"), use that
- If unavailable, state "Model information unavailable"
- Always generate the timestamp programmatically using
date -u +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S UTC"or similar - Always check if an example you give is valid by using obo-grepl.obo. Be very very careful not to hallucinate subclass (is_a) relations.
✅ Why the user request is valid:
-
Mermaid diagram that describes SPECIFICALLY THE USER REQUESTED change.
-
Use bottom UP (BT) for arrow direction
-
Use
-.->|PROPOSED<br/>NEW PARENT|for proposed new parents and-.->|PROPOSED<br/>REMOVED PARENT|for proposed removed parents -
Example:
graph BT B[MONDO:0005341 skin basal cell carcinoma] --> A[MONDO:0004993 carcinoma] C[MONDO:0019317 follicular atrophoderma-basal cell carcinoma] -.->|PROPOSED<br/>NEW PARENT| B C --> D[MONDO:0010535 Bazex-Dupre-Christol syndrome] style C fill:#ccffcc style A fill:#ccffcc style B fill:#ccffcc
-
-
Medical/clinical justification, ideally with pubmed evidence
-
Terminological correctness
-
Ontological gaps being addressed
💡 Suggested improvements:
- Section to describe changes / refinements over what the user is suggesting
- Mermaid diagram that describes the change (ONLY include this if there are actual changes being suggested!)
- More specific parent/classification if applicable, ideally with pubmed evidence
- Additional relationships that should be considered
- Supporting literature/references
Example: For classification requests, always check if there's a more specific parent term (e.g., "benign vascular tumor" instead of general "cancer or benign tumor").
High level action items
- Example: Add X as subclass to Y.
General formatting instructions on the report
- The title in the issue report should just be "Issue analysis"
- Do not include an "implementation plan" in the report
- If there are no suggested improvements over the user request
