This action reads a date from each issue's YAML frontmatter and keeps labels (and optionally comments) in sync. --- Why? GitHub Issues don't have a native \"due date\" concept — only milestones, which are one-per-issue and don't map cleanly to personal task lists or roadmaps. This action lets you drop a one-line date into any issue body and get automatic, queryable labels for free: - Want a Kanban column for stuff due this week ? Filter by the Due in 1 week label. - Want to triage what slipped? Filter by Overdue . - Want to @-mention yourself a week out? Turn on reminder comments.

Reconciles the issue's labels against your configured buckets: - daysUntil Can I use this on private repos? Yes.
