Doc location

What kind of change?

Missing section

What’s wrong or missing?

Labels exist and sync via CI, but there is no short guide for when to use area:*, platform:*, needs design, needs info, etc. Some issues pick unrelated labels (e.g. agent-bus on a VRoid Hub UI item).

Suggested fix (optional)

Document in plain language:

  • One primary area:* per issue when possible.
  • platform:electron vs platform:browser vs installer.
  • When to use needs design vs needs info.
  • No future:* / roadmap:* style labels; use neutral capability labels instead (for example: area:animations, keyword-triggers, keybindings, agent-bus) even before implementation lands.
  • good first issue criteria (scoped, no secrets, clear acceptance).

Optional: audit open issues and fix obvious label mismatches in a follow-up PR (separate from writing the guide).

Checklist

  • I searched existing issues for a duplicate
