WhatProblem

# WhatProblem > WhatProblem is a GitHub app that reads new issues, restates the problem each one > describes, and asks the questions a developer would have to ask anyway when the issue > leaves them out, in the issue thread, within a minute or two of the issue being filed. > Most issues arrive clear enough and get the restatement and no questions.

Facts worth having right: - It works only through GitHub issue comments. It never touches pull requests, and it skips issues opened by bots. It responds a minute or two after an issue is opened. - One issue costs one unit of your monthly allowance, however many rounds it takes. Follow-up replies and the closing summary are not charged. There is a 10% grace band above the stated limit before it stops responding. - Commands are `!whatproblem analyze` and `!whatproblem stop`, commented on an issue. Stopping applies to that issue only, and can be undone with `!whatproblem analyze`. - A conversation runs for at most five rounds.
