How does it handle workload balancing?

The algorithm counts open PRs with pending reviews for each user and applies a point penalty per open item, preventing the most active developers from becoming bottlenecks.

Can I use this for issue assignment as well as PRs?

Absolutely. It analyzes issue labels, titles, and similar closed issues to suggest the most relevant assignees based on their domain history.

How does this skill rank potential reviewers?

It uses a weighted scoring system that rewards CODEOWNERS matches, recent commits to relevant files, and active PR participation while penalizing heavy workloads to ensure a balanced review process.

What happens if a repository doesn't have a CODEOWNERS file?

The skill gracefully falls back to heuristics like recent file contributors, active PR reviewers, and general collaborator activity to provide the best possible suggestions.

Does it support team-based ownership in CODEOWNERS?

Yes, the skill can resolve team handles (e.g., @org/team-name) into individual members to provide specific user suggestions.
