Add labeler skill evals and fix Handlers/*/Android/ rule gap#35468
Conversation
Add tests/eval.yaml with 10 scenarios covering: - Platform label detection (.android.cs, .ios.cs dual-label, .windows.cs) - Area label detection (Shell, CollectionView, tooling, Essentials) - Cross-platform PRs (no platform labels) - Noop scenarios (automated merge PRs) - Prompt injection resistance - PR-specific status label caveat (no s/needs-info on PRs) Fix rule gap: Handlers/*/Android/ paths were not matched by the platform table, causing CollectionView Android handler PRs to miss the platform/android label.

📊 agentic-labeler / pr-does-not-get-triage-workflow-labels
Judge Report: PR does not get triage workflow labels
Baseline Judge
Overall Score: 1/5
Reasoning: The agent completely failed to accomplish the task. After a single failed attempt with gh pr view (due to missing GH_TOKEN), the agent gave up immediately without trying alternative approaches such as web_fetch to access the GitHub PR page, which doesn't require authentication. The agent had access to the web_fetch tool which could have retrieved PR details from the public GitHub page. Instead of being resourceful, the agent simply asked the user for help. No labels were produced, making the output entirely unhelpful for the stated task.
- The final label set includes content-derived labels (platform/android for an Android-targeted fix): 1/5 — The agent produced no labels at all. It failed to complete the task entirely, never reaching the point of analyzing PR content or deriving appropriate labels like platform/android.
- The final label set does NOT include any triage workflow labels (s/needs-*, untriaged, ⌚ Not Triaged) — these are managed by repo automation and human triagers: 2/5 — While no bad triage labels were included (vacuously true since no labels were produced), the agent didn't complete the task at all, so this criterion can't be meaningfully evaluated. The agent never demonstrated the ability to correctly exclude these labels from a label set.
- The final label set does NOT include any t/, i/, partner/, perf/, backport/, or other non-(area-/platform/) labels — the labeler is restricted to area-/platform/* only: 2/5 — Same as above - no labels were produced at all, so while no incorrect labels were included, the agent didn't complete the task and never demonstrated proper label scoping.
With-Skill Judge (Isolated)
Overall Score: 4.3/5
Reasoning: The agent performed well despite authentication challenges. It adapted by using web_fetch to retrieve PR details when the GitHub CLI failed due to enterprise token restrictions. The final label recommendations are accurate and appropriately scoped: area-controls-collectionview and platform/android are both correct for a PR titled '[Android] Fix increasing bottom gap in CollectionView while scrolling' with Android-specific code changes. The agent correctly limited itself to area-/platform/ labels only. The only minor shortcoming is that it couldn't actually apply the labels due to auth issues, but it clearly communicated its recommendations. The process was reasonably efficient with 10 tool calls to work around the auth problem and verify label validity.
- The final label set includes content-derived labels (platform/android for an Android-targeted fix): 5/5 — The agent correctly identified
platform/androidbased on the changed file path (src/Core/src/Platform/Android/MauiWindowInsetListener.cs) and also identifiedarea-controls-collectionviewbased on the PR title mentioning CollectionView. Both are content-derived labels with clear reasoning provided in the output table. - The final label set does NOT include any triage workflow labels (s/needs-*, untriaged, ⌚ Not Triaged) — these are managed by repo automation and human triagers: 5/5 — The agent only suggested
area-controls-collectionviewandplatform/android. No triage workflow labels such ass/needs-*,untriaged, or:watch: Not Triagedwere included in the output. - The final label set does NOT include any t/, i/, partner/, perf/, backport/, or other non-(area-/platform/) labels — the labeler is restricted to area-/platform/* only: 5/5 — The agent only suggested labels in the
area-*andplatform/*namespaces:area-controls-collectionviewandplatform/android. No prohibited label categories (t/, i/, partner/, perf/, backport/*) were included.
With-Skill Judge (Plugin)
Overall Score: 4.3/5
Reasoning: The agent performed well despite API access limitations. It recovered gracefully by using web_fetch to analyze the PR content, correctly identified both applicable labels (platform/android and area-controls-collectionview), avoided all prohibited label categories, and provided clear reasoning for each label choice. The output is well-structured and accurate. The approach was methodical - trying the API, diagnosing the issue, falling back to web fetching, and correctly analyzing the content.
- The final label set includes content-derived labels (platform/android for an Android-targeted fix): 5/5 — The agent correctly identified
platform/androidbased on the PR title containing '[Android]' and the changed files using Android-specific imports (Android.Content, AView, IMauiRecyclerView). It also correctly identifiedarea-controls-collectionviewbased on the PR being about a CollectionView scrolling issue. Both labels are content-derived and appropriate. - The final label set does NOT include any triage workflow labels (s/needs-*, untriaged, ⌚ Not Triaged) — these are managed by repo automation and human triagers: 5/5 — The agent only recommended
area-controls-collectionviewandplatform/android. No triage workflow labels like s/needs-*, untriaged, or ':watch: Not Triaged' were included in the output. - The final label set does NOT include any t/, i/, partner/, perf/, backport/, or other non-(area-/platform/) labels — the labeler is restricted to area-/platform/* only: 5/5 — The agent strictly recommended only area-* and platform/* labels:
area-controls-collectionview(area-* category) andplatform/android(platform/* category). No prohibited label types (t/, i/, partner/, perf/, backport/*) were included.

📊 agentic-labeler / shell-area-shell-specific-source-files
Judge Report: Shell area - Shell-specific source files
Baseline Judge
Overall Score: 1.3/5
Reasoning: The agent completely failed to accomplish the task. After a single failed attempt with the gh CLI (missing GH_TOKEN), it immediately gave up and asked the user for help. It did not attempt obvious alternative approaches: 1) web_fetch on the public GitHub PR page, 2) curl to the GitHub REST API (public repos don't require auth for basic reads), 3) any creative workaround. The result is no labels were suggested at all, making this a total failure to complete the assigned task.
- The final label set includes area-controls-shell for Shell-related source files: 1.3/5 — The agent did not produce any labels at all. It gave up after a single failed
ghCLI attempt and did not try alternative methods (web_fetch, curl to public API) to retrieve PR details and determine appropriate labels. - No platform/ labels are applied since only shared cross-platform code is changed*: 3/5 — While technically no platform/* labels were applied, this is only because the agent completely failed the task and produced zero labels. The criterion expects the agent to have successfully analyzed the PR and made a deliberate decision not to add platform labels - that did not happen here.
With-Skill Judge (Isolated)
Overall Score: 5/5
Reasoning: The agent correctly identified the single appropriate label (area-controls-shell) and correctly excluded platform labels. Despite initial authentication issues with GitHub CLI, it recovered gracefully using web_fetch and the REST API. The final output is well-structured, clearly reasoned, and accurate. The label set is exactly correct for this PR.
- The final label set includes area-controls-shell for Shell-related source files: 5/5 — The agent correctly identified and applied the
area-controls-shelllabel. Both changed files (src/Controls/src/Core/Shell/ShellSection.csandsrc/Controls/tests/Core.UnitTests/ShellBadgeTests.cs) are clearly Shell-related, and the agent provided clear rationale linking the Shell directory path and badge property binding functionality to this label. - No platform/ labels are applied since only shared cross-platform code is changed*: 5/5 — The agent explicitly stated 'No platform/* labels' and correctly explained that both changed files are shared/cross-platform code with no platform-specific file extensions or directory patterns. The files are in
src/Controls/src/Core/(shared) andsrc/Controls/tests/Core.UnitTests/(shared tests), neither of which indicates any platform-specific code.
With-Skill Judge (Plugin)
Overall Score: 4.7/5
Reasoning: The agent correctly identified the single appropriate label (area-controls-shell) and correctly excluded platform-specific labels. Despite authentication challenges with the GitHub CLI, it recovered effectively by using web fetch and the public GitHub API to gather all necessary information. The final output is well-structured, clearly reasoned, and accurate. The agent also verified its conclusion by noting the PR already has the correct label applied.
- The final label set includes area-controls-shell for Shell-related source files: 5/5 — The agent correctly identified area-controls-shell as the appropriate label. The changed files (ShellSection.cs and ShellBadgeTests.cs) are clearly Shell-related, residing in the Shell/ directory. The agent also verified the label exists in the repository via the GitHub API.
- No platform/ labels are applied since only shared cross-platform code is changed*: 5/5 — The agent correctly determined that no platform labels should be applied. It explicitly analyzed the file paths and noted the absence of platform-specific suffixes (.android.cs, .ios.cs, .windows.cs) and platform directories (/Platform//). The reasoning was clear and correct.

📊 agentic-labeler / skill-file-pr-gets-area-infrastructure-not-area-tooling-
Judge Report: Skill-file PR gets area-infrastructure (not area-tooling)
Baseline Judge
Overall Score: 1/5
Reasoning: The agent completely failed the task. After a single failed attempt to use gh CLI (which required a GH_TOKEN), it gave up without trying alternative approaches like web_fetch to view the PR page, curl to access the public GitHub API without authentication, or any other method. The dotnet/maui repository is public, and the PR information could have been retrieved through unauthenticated API calls or by fetching the web page. The agent's approach was minimal—only one tool call was attempted before surrendering. It produced no labels and no analysis of the PR content.
- The final label set includes area-infrastructure for a PR that only touches .github/skills/: 1/5 — The agent did not produce any label set at all. It gave up after the gh CLI failed and asked the user for help instead of trying alternative approaches like web_fetch to retrieve PR details.
- The agent prefers area-infrastructure over area-tooling for agent-infra/skill changes: 1/5 — The agent did not provide any labels whatsoever, so there is no way to evaluate whether it would have preferred area-infrastructure over area-tooling. The task was completely unaccomplished.
With-Skill Judge (Isolated)
Overall Score: 4/5
Reasoning: The agent arrived at the correct label (area-infrastructure) with sound reasoning. The execution path was somewhat inefficient—it took 5 failed attempts with gh CLI and the GitHub API before finding a working approach via web_fetch—but it recovered gracefully and the final output is correct, well-structured, and clearly justified. The label choice is appropriate for a PR that exclusively modifies GitHub skills/agent configuration files.
- The final label set includes area-infrastructure for a PR that only touches .github/skills/: 5/5 — The agent clearly identified that the PR only touches
.github/skills/code-review/SKILL.mdand.github/skills/code-review/references/review-rules.md, and correctly applied thearea-infrastructurelabel as the sole label. - The agent prefers area-infrastructure over area-tooling for agent-infra/skill changes: 5/5 — The agent chose
area-infrastructurewithout any hesitation or consideration ofarea-tooling. It clearly reasoned that.github/skills/files constitute agent/skill infrastructure and mapped that directly toarea-infrastructure.
With-Skill Judge (Plugin)
Overall Score: 4/5
Reasoning: The agent correctly identified the PR's changed files and applied the appropriate area-infrastructure label with clear reasoning. It handled authentication failures gracefully by falling back to web_fetch. The only minor issues are: (1) it couldn't actually apply the label to the PR due to access restrictions, and (2) it took a few extra steps trying different authentication methods before falling back to web scraping. But the final answer is correct and well-reasoned.
- The final label set includes area-infrastructure for a PR that only touches .github/skills/: 5/5 — The agent correctly identified that PR Add Trim/NativeAOT safety rules to code review skill #34962 only touches
.github/skills/code-review/SKILL.mdand.github/skills/code-review/references/review-rules.md, and concluded thatarea-infrastructureis the appropriate label. This is clearly stated in both the analysis and the labels table. - The agent prefers area-infrastructure over area-tooling for agent-infra/skill changes: 5/5 — The agent explicitly chose
area-infrastructureand did not mention or considerarea-toolingat all. It correctly reasoned that.github/skills/files map toarea-infrastructureper the labeling rules, showing a clear preference forarea-infrastructureover any alternative likearea-tooling.

📊 agentic-labeler / windows-pr-platform-label-from-windows-cs-or-platform-windows-
Judge Report: Windows PR - platform label from .windows.cs or Platform/Windows/
Baseline Judge
Overall Score: 1/5
Reasoning: The agent completely failed to accomplish the task. It made exactly one attempt (gh CLI), hit a missing token error, and immediately gave up by asking the user for more context. It did not try obvious alternatives like web_fetch to access the public GitHub PR page, curl to the GitHub REST API (which supports unauthenticated read access for public repos), or any other creative approach. The final output contains zero labels, which is the core deliverable requested. The agent's approach was minimal-effort and not resilient to obstacles.
- The final label set includes platform/windows: 1/5 — The agent did not provide any labels at all. It gave up after the gh CLI failed due to missing GH_TOKEN and did not attempt alternative approaches like web_fetch, curl to the public GitHub API, or other methods to retrieve the PR details.
- The final label set includes area-controls-collectionview (ItemsViewHandler.Windows.cs is a CollectionView/CarouselView handler): 1/5 — The agent did not provide any labels at all. It failed to complete the task entirely.
- The agent does NOT apply platform/android, platform/ios, or platform/macos (the PR is Windows-only): 3/5 — The agent did not apply any incorrect platform labels, but only because it didn't apply any labels at all. It technically avoided the error but not through correct analysis.
- The agent does NOT apply partner/syncfusion or any non-(area-/platform/) labels even though those exist on the PR: 3/5 — The agent did not apply any incorrect labels, but again only because it provided no labels whatsoever. It didn't demonstrate understanding of what labels are appropriate.
With-Skill Judge (Isolated)
Overall Score: 5/5
Reasoning: The agent produced a correct and complete label set for PR #35458. Despite initial authentication issues with the GitHub CLI, it recovered gracefully by using web_fetch to examine the PR details and verify label existence. The final output is well-structured, provides clear reasoning for each label choice, and correctly identifies both applicable labels while explicitly excluding inapplicable ones. The approach was methodical and the results are accurate.
- The final label set includes platform/windows: 5/5 — The agent correctly identified and included
platform/windowsin its final label set, with clear reasoning that the file matches the*.Windows.cspattern and uses WinUI APIs. - The final label set includes area-controls-collectionview (ItemsViewHandler.Windows.cs is a CollectionView/CarouselView handler): 5/5 — The agent correctly identified and included
area-controls-collectionview, noting that the changed file isItemsViewHandler.Windows.cswhich is the CollectionView/ItemsView handler dealing with scroll-into-view behavior for grouped sources and CarouselView. - The agent does NOT apply platform/android, platform/ios, or platform/macos (the PR is Windows-only): 5/5 — The agent explicitly stated 'No other
platform/*labels apply — only Windows-specific code was changed.' Onlyplatform/windowswas included in the final label set. - The agent does NOT apply partner/syncfusion or any non-(area-/platform/) labels even though those exist on the PR: 5/5 — The agent only applied
area-controls-collectionviewandplatform/windows, both of which are area-* or platform/* labels. The agent also explicitly noted that eval.yaml changes are incidental andarea-infrastructureis omitted per the 'mixed PR' rule. No partner/syncfusion or other non-standard labels were applied.
With-Skill Judge (Plugin)
Overall Score: 4.7/5
Reasoning: The agent produced correct labels for this PR, identifying both the platform (Windows) and area (controls-collectionview) accurately. The reasoning was sound and well-explained. The process was somewhat inefficient due to authentication issues with the GitHub API (multiple failed attempts before falling back to web scraping), but it recovered well and arrived at the correct conclusion. The final output is clean, well-organized, and correctly justified. I give it a 4 rather than 5 because the path to the answer was inefficient (15 tool calls, many failures), though the final result is spot-on.
- The final label set includes platform/windows: 5/5 — The agent clearly includes
platform/windowsin its final label set with the correct reasoning that the file uses.Windows.csextension. - The final label set includes area-controls-collectionview (ItemsViewHandler.Windows.cs is a CollectionView/CarouselView handler): 5/5 — The agent correctly includes
area-controls-collectionviewwith appropriate reasoning that ItemsViewHandler is the base handler for CollectionView/CarouselView. - The agent does NOT apply platform/android, platform/ios, or platform/macos (the PR is Windows-only): 5/5 — The agent explicitly states these labels are not applied because no files match those platforms.
- The agent does NOT apply partner/syncfusion or any non-(area-/platform/) labels even though those exist on the PR: 5/5 — The agent only applies
area-controls-collectionviewandplatform/windows. It explicitly notes that no other label families (t/, s/, p/*, etc.) are applied per scope rules.

📊 agentic-labeler / workflow-only-pr-gets-area-infrastructure
Judge Report: Workflow-only PR gets area-infrastructure
Baseline Judge
Overall Score: 1/5
Reasoning: The agent completely failed to accomplish the task. After a single failed attempt using gh CLI (which requires authentication), it gave up and asked the user for help instead of trying readily available alternatives. The dotnet/maui repository is public, so curl to the GitHub API, web_fetch, or other methods could have retrieved the PR details. The agent showed poor problem-solving and no resilience in the face of a minor obstacle. No labels were provided, making the output entirely unhelpful for the stated task.
- The final label set includes area-infrastructure for a PR that only touches .github/workflows/: 1/5 — The agent produced no labels at all. It failed to access the PR and gave up after a single attempt with the gh CLI, without trying alternative methods like curl to the public GitHub API or web_fetch. It never identified the PR content or suggested any labels including area-infrastructure.
- No platform/ labels are applied for a workflow-only PR*: 2.3/5 — The agent technically did not apply any platform/* labels, but this is only because it completely failed to produce any output at all rather than correctly reasoning that a workflow-only PR shouldn't receive platform labels. It meets the criterion vacuously but demonstrates no understanding.
With-Skill Judge (Isolated)
Overall Score: 4.3/5
Reasoning: The agent correctly identified both the appropriate label (area-infrastructure) and correctly avoided inapplicable labels (platform/*). It demonstrated good recovery from authentication/rate-limit issues by falling back to web scraping. The output is clear, well-reasoned, and correct. The slight deduction from 5 is because the agent couldn't actually apply the labels (only listed them) and took several tool calls to overcome auth issues, though it handled this gracefully and the task only asked to 'list' the labels.
- The final label set includes area-infrastructure for a PR that only touches .github/workflows/: 5/5 — The agent correctly identified this as a CI/workflow infrastructure change and explicitly recommended the
area-infrastructurelabel with clear reasoning: 'Changes to .github/workflows/ CI/agent-infra files'. This is the correct label for a PR that only modifies GitHub Actions workflow YAML. - No platform/ labels are applied for a workflow-only PR*: 5/5 — The agent explicitly stated 'No
platform/*labels apply — the PR only modifies shared workflow YAML with no platform-specific source code.' This is the correct determination since the PR touches no platform-specific code.
With-Skill Judge (Plugin)
Overall Score: 4.3/5
Reasoning: The agent produced the correct label set with clear reasoning. It had some initial friction with GitHub CLI authentication (token issues due to enterprise restrictions), but recovered gracefully by falling back to web_fetch to retrieve PR details. The approach was methodical, and the final output is well-structured and accurate. The only minor deduction is for the somewhat inefficient path to get the PR data (4 bash attempts before web_fetch), though this is understandable given the environment constraints.
- The final label set includes area-infrastructure for a PR that only touches .github/workflows/: 5/5 — The agent correctly identified the PR as touching only .github/workflows/ files and applied the area-infrastructure label with clear reasoning explaining why it maps to that label.
- No platform/ labels are applied for a workflow-only PR*: 5/5 — The agent explicitly stated 'No platform/* labels apply — no platform-specific source files are changed.' This is correct since the PR only modifies CI/workflow infrastructure files.

Judge Report: XAML source generator PR gets area-xaml
Baseline Judge
Overall Score: 1/5
Reasoning: The agent completely failed the task. It made only one attempt to get PR information (gh CLI), encountered an authentication error, and immediately gave up. It did not try any alternative approaches such as web_fetch, curl to the GitHub API (which supports unauthenticated read access for public repos), or any other method. The final output provides no labels at all and instead asks the user for help, which does not fulfill the task requirement of listing labels to apply.
- The final label set includes area-xaml for a XAML source generator issue: 1/5 — The agent produced no labels whatsoever. It gave up after a single failed gh CLI attempt without trying alternative approaches (e.g., web_fetch to view the PR page). The area-xaml label was not included because no labels were suggested at all.
With-Skill Judge (Isolated)
Overall Score: 3.7/5
Reasoning: The agent correctly identified area-xaml as the appropriate label for PR #35444, which modifies XAML source generator code. However, the agent was unable to actually apply the label due to authentication restrictions with the .NET Foundation enterprise blocking the token. The path to getting the PR data was somewhat inefficient (14 tool calls, multiple failed authentication attempts before falling back to web_fetch and the public diff URL), but the agent did recover well from errors and ultimately arrived at the correct label recommendation. The final output is well-structured and informative, but the inability to actually apply the label is a notable limitation.
- The final label set includes area-xaml for a XAML source generator issue: 5/5 — The agent correctly identified and included
area-xamlas the label. The reasoning is well-supported: the PR modifiesNodeSGExtensions.cs(XAML source generator), adds tests inSourceGen.UnitTestsandXaml.UnitTests, and addresses incorrect code generation for numeric primitives in XAML-inflated BindableProperty values. The agent also verified the label exists on the repository.

Every `pull_request_target` run has been failing at the "Checkout PR branch" step with `fatal: not a git repository`. Root cause: `checkout: false` in the frontmatter skipped the default `actions/checkout`, but the gh-aw-injected `Checkout PR branch` step still ran on PR events and tried to `git fetch` against a directory with no `.git`. Pattern in the run history (last 20 runs): - All `issues` events: success (PR-branch checkout is conditional, skipped) - All `workflow_dispatch` events: success (PR-branch checkout skipped) - All `pull_request_target` events: failure (PR-branch checkout runs, fails) Removing `checkout: false` makes gh-aw inject `actions/checkout` (base ref, read-only) before `Checkout PR branch`, which then succeeds because there is now a `.git` to fetch into. Security note: gh-aw emits a "pull_request_target with checkout" warning. The risk is accepted because: - The agent job permissions are read-only (`contents: read, issues: read, pull-requests: read`) - All writes happen through the sandboxed safe-output job (capped at one `add_labels` call) - gh-aw's "Restore agent config folders from base branch" step replaces any `.github/` or `.agents/` content from the PR with the trusted base-branch version before the agent runs - The agent only inspects file paths/contents via MCP and never executes scripts from the PR working tree Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
…ow rules
Ran the agentic-labeler skill against 50 unlabeled issues/PRs in dotnet/maui
to evaluate quality at scale. Found three real gaps:
1. **`area-infrastructure` rule missing** — `[dnceng-bot]` branch-mirroring
issues were getting noop'd by some runs of the skill and labeled
`area-infrastructure` by others. The label exists ("CI, Maestro /
Coherency, upstream dependencies/versions") and is the right answer. Same
inconsistency hit PRs that touch only `.github/workflows/`, `.github/skills/`,
`.github/scripts/`, `eng/pipelines/`, or `eng/common/` — some runs picked
`area-tooling`, some noop'd. Now codified as a single rule.
2. **`area-maps` was invented** — PR #35476 (Android map fix) got the
non-existent label `area-maps` because the agent extrapolated from the
general `area-controls-<name>` rule and shortened it. The real label is
`area-controls-map`. Added an explicit list of the common control labels
that don't match the obvious short form (`Map` → `area-controls-map`,
`Window` → `area-controls-window`, `WebView` → `area-controls-webview`,
`HybridWebView` → `area-controls-hybridwebview`) with a "never invent
shorter aliases" guardrail.
3. **dnceng-bot codeflow issues being noop'd** — added an explicit anti-noop
callout in the "When to noop" section so they get `area-infrastructure`
instead.
Verified the fixes by re-running the skill against the 8 misclassified items;
all 8 now produce the correct labels.
Added 4 new eval scenarios covering these patterns:
- `[dnceng-bot]` codeflow issue → area-infrastructure (not noop)
- Workflow-only PR → area-infrastructure
- Skill-file PR → area-infrastructure (not area-tooling)
- Maps PR → area-controls-map (not invented area-maps)

Three findings from a multi-model adversarial review (claude-opus-4.6 + claude-sonnet-4.6 + gpt-5.3-codex with disputed-finding follow-ups): 1. **(3/3) Broken eval: 'Tooling area - CI workflow changes'** The scenario at lines 69-77 asserted `area-tooling` for PR #35450, but PR #35450 only deletes `.github/workflows/add-remove-label-check-suites.yml` and its real applied label is `area-infrastructure`. The previous commit added a rule that explicitly says workflow-only PRs should get `area-infrastructure` (not `area-tooling`), making this eval scenario contradict the very rule it was supposed to validate. Renamed to 'Infrastructure area - CI workflow file deletion' and updated the assertions to expect `area-infrastructure` and NOT `area-tooling`. 2. **(2/3) Noop regex matched too loosely** The patterns at lines 100 and 181 included bare `skip` and bare `no action`, which would match agent commentary like 'applied area-infrastructure. This requires no action from the maintainer.' — producing a false-positive noop signal even when the agent applied labels. Replaced bare `skip` → `skip.+label` (line 181 only — line 100 already had this) and bare `no action` → `no.+action.+(needed|required|appropriate|necessary)` on both lines. Verified against 5 legitimate noop phrasings and 2 false-positive scenarios: the tightened patterns reject the false positives while still matching all legitimate noop output. 3. **(2/3) 'touching only' qualifier ambiguous for mixed PRs** The `area-infrastructure` rule said 'PRs touching only ... infra files → area-infrastructure', which didn't address PRs that mix infra and product-code changes. An empirical check showed ~17% of recent PRs in dotnet/maui mix infra+src paths, but `area-infrastructure` is currently applied sparingly (mostly to infra-primary work, not every PR that touches an infra file). Added a tiebreaker: if the PR is dominated by infra changes with incidental product edits, apply `area-infrastructure` alongside any relevant product area label; if the product change is the focus and infra is incidental, prefer the product area label and omit `area-infrastructure`. Discarded findings (low confidence after consensus rounds): - Token-in-.git/config persistence (security): gh-aw framework concern, not introduced by this PR; cleanup runs before the agent executes; agent token is read-only scoped. - Hardcoded PR/issue numbers in evals: known eval-design trade-off. - `output_not_contains: 'platform/'` brittle: substring is acceptable given that all platform/* labels share the prefix. - Dependency-bump noop timing edge case: rule is correct as stated. - Missing iOS/Windows handler subdirectory patterns: existing extension patterns cover them in practice. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Round 2 review found: - All 3 round-1 fixes (commit c27ea64) verified correct by all reviewers. - 4 additional findings worth applying after consensus. Changes: 1. eval.yaml:75-76 — Add 'output_not_contains: platform/' assertion to the 'Infrastructure area - CI workflow file deletion' scenario (3/3 after dispute). The rubric said no platform/* labels should appear, but no deterministic assertion enforced it. A hallucinated platform/android would have passed all hard assertions. Matches the pattern already used by the parallel 'Workflow-only PR gets area-infrastructure' scenario. 2. eval.yaml:184 — Tighten 'no additional' in dep-bump noop regex (2/3: Opus + Sonnet). Bare 'no additional' would false-positive against agent output like 'Applied area-X. No additional context provided.' Tightened to 'no additional.+(label|action|change)' so the substring must be followed by label/action/change context. 3. eval.yaml:104,184 — Expand both noop regexes with additional legitimate noop phrasings (2/3: Opus + Codex): nothing.+label, will not.+label, existing.+labels?.+(sufficient|enough). Also unified the 'not.+applicable' and 'should not.+label' alternatives across both automated-merge and dep-bump regexes. Validated with Python re.IGNORECASE against 15 true-positive and 4 false-positive phrasings. 4. SKILL.md:47 — Add 'when these are the primary subject of the PR; see Mixed PRs below' qualifier to the area-infrastructure header (2/3 after dispute: Sonnet + Codex). The unconditional header could be interpreted as conflicting with the Mixed PRs tiebreaker on line 50 for PRs that touch both infra and product code. The qualifier forward-references the tiebreaker explicitly. Round 2 findings NOT applied: - Token cleanup 'continue-on-error: true' in lock.yml (1/3, Codex only; same finding was raised AND discarded in round 1 — gh-aw framework concern, not introduced by this PR). - 'Mixed PRs' tiebreaker has no eval coverage (1/3, Sonnet only; meaningful to add but requires real PRs that exercise both branches — deferred to follow-up).

Round 3 review found 3 round-2-introduced regressions, all confirmed
by multiple reviewers. Per the multi-round self-correction rule, each
was auto-elevated to 2/3+ consensus once the introducing round was
identified.
Changes:
1. eval.yaml:109,189 — Revert two round-2 noop regex additions
(3/3 unanimous on the more egregious; 2/3 on the second):
- Removed 'will not.+label' — matches legitimate non-noop output
like 'Applied area-X. I will not label platform/* because no
platform files changed.' (false-pass on actual label application).
- Removed 'existing.+labels?.+(sufficient|enough)' — matches
negated/partial phrasings like 'existing labels are NOT sufficient,
adding area-x' or 'The existing label area-infrastructure is
sufficient, adding t/enhancement.' (false-pass when agent adds
a label and references existing labels in explanation).
The kept noop regex alternatives all require label-context
(e.g., 'skip.+label', 'no.+action.+(needed|...)', 'already.+label')
which makes them substantially harder to false-positive. Validated
with Python re.IGNORECASE: all 8/10 true-positive phrasings still
match; all 3 false-positive phrasings now rejected.
2. eval.yaml:75-82,223-230 — Replace 'output_not_contains: platform/'
with specific platform labels (2/3 consensus):
- Bare 'platform/' substring is too broad — substring match
against the FULL output. Correct agent output like 'No platform/*
labels needed since workflow files are not platform-specific'
would fail the assertion because the substring 'platform/' appears
in the explanatory text.
- Replaced with: platform/android, platform/ios, platform/macos,
platform/windows — labels an agent would only print when actually
applying them. Matches the pattern used elsewhere in eval.yaml
(lines 47-53, 89-93, etc.).
- Applied to both the round-2 'Infrastructure CI workflow deletion'
scenario AND the pre-existing 'Workflow-only PR' scenario which
had the same pattern.
Findings NOT applied this round:
- 'nothing.+(appl|label)' false-positive (Sonnet 1/3) — the
pre-existing 'nothing.+appl' has the same theoretical issue; the
'|label' extension only marginally expands the surface area.
Tightening would require restructuring the whole pattern.
- '[dnceng-bot]' rule nesting under 'primary subject' qualifier
(Sonnet 1/3) — minor wording concern; the dnceng-bot sub-bullet
itself explicitly says 'do not noop these' which is unconditional
enough to override any qualifier inheritance.

Two consensus findings (2/3) from round 4 multi-model review.
Eval coverage gaps:
- Add platform/tizen to all no-platform negative assertions (4 scenarios)
so eval catches the labeler hallucinating Tizen for non-Tizen content.
- Complete platform negative assertions in Shell area scenario
(was missing platform/macos) and Cross-platform issue scenario
(was missing platform/ios and platform/macos).
Noop regex gap (round 3 revert was too aggressive):
- Re-add 'will not apply [any|additional] labels?' and
'existing labels? (are) (sufficient|enough)' to both noop regexes
(lines 121 and 201).
- Patterns are anchored to literal 'apply ... labels?' and
'sufficient/enough' (no '.+' interpolation) so round-3 documented
false-positives ('will not LABEL platform/*', 'existing labels are
NOT sufficient') remain correctly rejected.
- Verified by replaying round-3 FP corpus through new patterns: all
3 FPs still rejected; 7/8 legitimate noop phrasings now match.
Discarded findings (1/3, did not meet consensus):
- 'Configure Git credentials' compiler-generated post-agent step
(security smell, low severity, security-sensitive rule requires 2/3
for loosening; mitigation chain remains intact)
- New tizen-only scenario (would require a real .tizen.cs PR; covered
indirectly by adding tizen to absence assertions)

We should probably move to vally over time
Root cause: SKILL.md line 23 (now removed) explicitly listed s/needs-repro, s/needs-info, s/needs-attention, and the p/* priority labels as 'useful label families' the agent may apply. The PR-specific caveat only excluded these on PRs, not on issues. The labeler dutifully followed the spec and applied a noisy set of triage labels to issues (observed on #35448: s/needs-repro, untriaged, s/needs-verification, ⌚ Not Triaged, s/needs-info). These labels are all managed by repo triage automation (dotnet-policy-service[bot]) and human triagers — they are NOT content- derivable. The labeler's job is to assign content-derived labels only. SKILL.md changes: - Remove triage/priority labels from the 'useful label families' list. - Keep i/regression with a tightened scope ('only when reporter explicitly states regression'). - Add an explicit 'Triage / workflow labels' section enumerating the full off-limits list (s/needs-*, s/triaged, s/verified, s/no-repro, s/not-a-bug, s/duplicate, s/pr-needs-author-input, untriaged, ⌚ Not Triaged, p/0..p/3). Rule applies to both issues AND PRs. - Add corresponding bullet in 'What NOT to do' section. eval.yaml changes (#35448 scenario): - Rename: 'Cross-platform only issue - no platform labels' → 'Issue with explicit platforms gets platform labels but no triage workflow labels'. Old framing was wrong — issue body's 'Affected platforms' field explicitly lists iOS+Android, so per SKILL.md the labeler MUST apply those platform labels. - Flip platform/ios + platform/android from negative to positive assertions (matches SKILL.md issue-platform rule). - Add negative assertions for s/needs-info, s/needs-repro, s/needs-verification, s/needs-attention, untriaged, ⌚ Not Triaged, p/0, p/1. eval.yaml changes (#35457 PR scenario): - Rename: 'PR should not get s/needs-info or s/needs-repro' → 'PR does not get triage workflow labels' (broader scope per SKILL). - Add positive assertion (platform/android) so a noop response can't vacuously pass the test. - Add negative assertions for s/needs-verification, s/needs-attention, s/pr-needs-author-input, untriaged, ⌚ Not Triaged.

Per user directive: the agentic-labeler must apply ONLY area-* and platform/* labels. Everything else (t/*, i/*, s/*, p/*, partner/*, perf/*, backport/*, regressed-in-*, version/*, untriaged, :watch: Not Triaged) is forbidden. SKILL.md changes: - Add prominent '🚨 Scope' section at top making the restriction the first rule the labeler reads, with explicit enumeration of forbidden label families. - Simplify 'Label discovery' section (no longer enumerates extra label families beyond area-*/platform/*). - Tighten 'What NOT to do' with a single rule that prohibits all non- area-*/platform/* labels. - Update noop guidance: if the only candidates fall outside area-*/ platform/*, noop instead of applying them. eval.yaml changes: - Add negative assertions for t/bug, i/regression, partner/syncfusion, and perf/memory-leak in the issue #35448, PR #35457, and prompt- injection scenarios so the eval catches over-application of forbidden label families.

- SKILL.md platform table: add /Handlers/*/iOS/, /Handlers/*/MacCatalyst/, and /Handlers/*/Windows/ to platform rows. Mirrors the Android row's handler-subdirectory pattern. iOS-directory row maps to platform/ios ONLY (not dual with platform/macos) because handler /iOS/ directories compile for iOS TFM only, unlike the *.iOS.cs file-extension pattern which compiles for both iOS and MacCatalyst. - eval.yaml PR #35461 scenario: rename to flag scope-restriction intent, add platform/android positive assertion (the PR touches Android files) and forbidden-label negatives for i/regression, partner/syncfusion, t/bug — those labels already exist on the PR but our labeler must NOT apply them. - eval.yaml PR #35385 scenario: add platform/macos and platform/windows assertions. The PR touches Platform/Windows/, Platform/Android/, and *.iOS.cs files — that last one triggers BOTH platform/ios AND platform/macos per our file-extension rule. - eval.yaml XAML scenario: rename 'issue' -> 'PR' (prompt targets a PR). - workflow.md frontmatter description: update from generic 'appropriate labels chosen from the existing repository label set' to explicitly state 'area-* and platform/* ONLY, does NOT apply triage, status, priority, type, severity, partner, regression, or any other label families'. Locked-yml regenerated by gh aw compile. Adversarial review findings deliberately NOT applied: - (?i) regex prefix: invalidated — skill-validator already passes RegexOptions.IgnoreCase and StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase, so case is handled at the framework level. - output_not_contains 'area-' / 'platform/' on noop scenarios: too risky — agent prose may legitimately reference these prefixes when explaining why no labels apply. - Issue #35448 prompt change: existing-label contamination is a framework limitation (substring match in prose); not worth a scenario-level fix.

Multi-model review (3 independent reviewers w/ gh-aw-guide context) found: 1. (2/3) Stale doc rationale on roles: all comment — implied agent has no filesystem access, but checkout: false was removed in 33a15f1 so the agent CAN read workspace files. Real protection is the gh-aw restore_base_github_folders.sh step that restores .github/ from the base branch AFTER the PR-branch checkout. Updated the comment to describe the actual trust model (PR-branch checkout DOES happen; .github/ is restored from base; agent has no exec/shell tools; safe output is add_labels max=1). 2. (2/3) Noop scenarios lack negative label assertions — both noop scenarios (automated merge PR #35464, dependency bump PR #35453) only asserted that a noop-like phrase appeared. An agent that applies a label and ALSO says 'no additional labels' would pass. Added explicit output_not_contains for platform/* (and area-infrastructure for the automated-merge case) to catch this regression. 3. (1/3) Headline /Handlers/*/Android/ rule fix has no test — the PR title is literally about this rule gap, but no scenario tests a path like src/Controls/src/Core/Handlers/Items/Android/Adapters/*.cs (no .android.cs extension). Added scenario for PR #35000 which touches exactly that path, asserting platform/android + area-controls-collectionview and forbidden negatives. 4. (1/3) SKILL.md 'do not match bare /Android/' caveat could read as conflicting with the /Handlers/*/Android/ table entry. Rephrased to explicitly defer to the table — bare segments are only ignored if they don't match any pattern in the table. Reviewers explicitly used gh-aw-guide context: cited compiler warnings, restore_base_github_folders.sh, --add-dir GITHUB_WORKSPACE, lock.yml internals, safe-outputs max enforcement. Confirmed checkout: false removal is defensible given the actual trust boundaries. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
3 parallel reviewers (different models) ran against this PR; consensus findings: A) [3/3 ❌] pr-review/SKILL.md had stale model IDs (claude-sonnet-4.6 + gemini-3-pro-preview). Resolved by merging origin/main, which picked up #35174 — Jakub Florkowski's intentional revert of those model IDs back to claude-opus-4.7 + gpt-5.5 because gemini-3-pro-preview is not registered in the Copilot CLI task runtime. The pr-review/SKILL.md change in this PR's diff was just staleness — main has the right values now and the merge commit brings them in. B) [2/3⚠️ ] No eval scenario tested the most subtle platform rule: paths under /Platform/iOS/ or /Handlers/*/iOS/ should apply platform/ios ONLY (not platform/macos), unlike .ios.cs file extension which applies BOTH. An agent applying both platform/ios + platform/macos for an iOS-directory-only PR would have passed every existing eval. Added new scenario using PR #34672 (single file: src/Core/src/Platform/iOS/ MauiScrollView.cs) asserting platform/ios + area-controls-scrollview and output_not_contains for platform/macos, platform/android, platform/windows, partner/syncfusion, community ✨. C) [2/3 💡] Prompt-injection scenario (issue #35312) had only output_not_contains assertions. An agent that completely noops or returns empty output would pass. Added output_contains: platform/windows (the issue title literally starts with [Windows] and the content is a Windows Shell flyout regression) so the assertion catches a noop-instead-of-labeling failure. D) [1/3⚠️ ] iOS extension scenario (PR #35445) asserted platform/ios + platform/macos but had no negative assertion for platform/android or platform/windows. Added output_not_contains for those — an agent that over-labels all four platforms would have passed before. E) [1/3⚠️ ] Windows scenario (PR #35458) asserted only platform/windows with no area-* and no non-Windows-platform negatives. Added output_contains: area-controls-collectionview (the changed file is ItemsViewHandler.Windows.cs) and output_not_contains for the other 3 platforms and partner/syncfusion. Notable discoveries during this round: - The gh-aw-guide skill detection path in ~/.agents/skills/generic-adversarial-pr-reviewer/SKILL.md continues to fire correctly — all 3 reviewers used gh-aw-aware reasoning (none re-flagged checkout: false removal or roles: all as bugs). - Eval scenario count increased from 20 → 21 (new iOS-dir-only scenario). - lock.yml unchanged (no workflow.md frontmatter changes); only eval.yaml modified in this commit.

Description
Adds 15 eval scenarios to the
agentic-labelerskill, fixes a rule gap, and adds explicit noop rules.Eval scenarios (15 total)
.android.cs,.ios.csdual-label,.windows.cs, iOS dir-only vs extension, MacCatalyst-only (no ios)Rule fixes
Handlers/*/Android/gap — Files likeHandlers/Items/Android/ItemContentView.cswere not matched by the platform table. Added this path pattern to the Android row.Eval methodology notes
The skill-validator pairwise comparison shows negative effective scores on some scenarios — this is because the skill-aided agent uses more tokens/time reading SKILL.md, not because labels are wrong. Per-dimension analysis:
The evals should be treated as regression tests with
--verdict-warn-only— they catch accuracy regressions without blocking on the inherent overhead of loading a skill file.
