Story

I’ve built *Issue Duration Labeler*, a GitHub Action that automatically adds *color-coded duration labels* to every issue in a repo:

Default label thresholds: Green – ≤ 7 days (configurable) Orange – ≤ 30 days Red – > 30 days

For open issues we compute “age” (creation → now). You can adjust the day thresholds and label colors in the workflow file, and choose whether labels update daily or only when they cross the next threshold.

*Why?* I often lost track of how long tickets had been lingering, especially in older projects. A quick glance at the issue list or github project now tells us what’s fresh, what’s getting stale, and what’s officially ancient. It’s also handy for post-mortems: sort by red labels to see which bugs took the longest to close.
