# Categorize Reverse Dependency Issues

Rewrite `revdep/issue.md` to group packages by common error categories based on the error output in `revdep/problems.md` and `revdep/failures.md`.

## What This Skill Does

This skill analyzes reverse dependency check results and reorganizes the issue tracking file to group packages by their error types, making it easier to:
- Identify common problems across packages
- Understand which issues are dplyr-related vs external dependencies
- Prioritize fixes based on error patterns
- Provide clear guidance to package maintainers

## Files Involved

**Input files:**
- `revdep/problems.md` - Detailed error output for packages with test/check issues
- `revdep/failures.md` - Installation failures and error messages
- `revdep/issue.md` - Current list of packages (to be rewritten)

**Output file:**
- `revdep/issue.md` - Rewritten with packages grouped by error category

## Process

### Step 1: Read All Input Files

Read all three files in parallel to understand the complete error landscape.

### Step 2: Analyze and Categorize Errors

Group packages by their primary error cause. Common categories include:

**dplyr-specific issues:**
- Missing exports
- Defunct functions
- Defunct function arguments
- Missing Rd cross-references to removed functions

**Non-dplyr issues:**
- Missing exports from other packages (e.g., `purrr::at_depth`)
- Dependency issues
- Compilation failures (C++, Rust)
- Other packages that passed or have unclear status

### Step 3: Create Category Structure

For each category:
1. Create an H2 header with a descriptive category name
2. Write a brief description explaining:
   - What the issue is
   - Why it's happening
   - Suggested solution or migration path
3. List all affected packages in checkbox format

### Step 4: Write the New File

Format requirements:
```markdown
## Category Name

Brief description of the issue and solution approach.

* [ ] [package1](url1)
* [ ] [package2](url2)
...
```

**Critical constraints:**
- MUST preserve ALL packages from the original `issue.md`
- Each package appears in exactly ONE category
- Maintain checkbox format: `* [ ] [package](url)`
- Order categories by relevance (common dplyr issues first, non-dplyr last)
- Use "Other issues requiring investigation" for unclear cases
- Use "Passed checks or unclear status" for packages that passed

## Quality Checks

After completing the rewrite, verify:
- [ ] Total package count in new file matches original file
- [ ] Each package from original appears exactly once in new file
- [ ] Each category has a clear H2 header and description
- [ ] Packages are in checkbox format with correct URLs
- [ ] Categories are logically ordered
- [ ] Common patterns are grouped together

## Example Category

```markdown
## Missing export: `dplyr::id`

Packages using `dplyr::id` which is not exported. These packages get "no visible binding for global variable 'id'" errors.

* [ ] [packageA](https://github.com/userA/packageA)
* [ ] [packageB](https://github.com/userB/packageB)
```
