Issue Types
Operator supports four issue types, each with different priority levels and execution modes.
Priority Order
- INV (Investigation) - Highest priority
- FIX - Bug fixes
- FEAT - Features
- SPIKE - Research (lowest priority)
Issue Type Details
INV - Investigation
Priority: 1 (highest) Mode: Paired
Investigation tickets are for diagnosing failures, understanding bugs, or exploring issues. They require human interaction and are worked on with operator pairing.
INV-001-project-investigate-login-failure.md
FIX - Bug Fix
Priority: 2 Mode: Autonomous
Bug fixes are addressed after investigations. Agents can work autonomously once the problem is understood.
FIX-042-project-fix-null-pointer-exception.md
FEAT - Feature
Priority: 3 Mode: Autonomous
New features are implemented after critical bugs are addressed. Agents can work autonomously with clear requirements.

SPIKE - Research
Priority: 4 (lowest) Mode: Paired
Spikes are for research, exploration, and proof-of-concept work. They require human interaction and discussion.

Agent Modes
Autonomous Mode (FEAT, FIX)
- Launch and monitor progress
- Minimal human intervention
- Can run multiple agents in parallel
Paired Mode (SPIKE, INV)
- Requires active human participation
- Tracks “awaiting input” states
- One paired agent at a time per operator
