+# A Taxonomy for Issue and PR Labels
+
+## Overview
+
+Labels are organized into a series of [axes](#axes) indicated by a
+prefix on the label. There are no "top-level" labels; every label
+belongs to an axis.
+
+For axes with an implied ordering (such as "priority"), colors are
+allocated to labels along a gradient. For axes like "type" in which
+labels represent distinct, unrelated values, colors can be chosen at
+will.
+
+## Axes
+
+> This documentation is generated automatically from the YAML
+> files in the [`labels/`](labels/) directory.
+
+### Single value axes
+
+Issues and PRs may have no more than one label from the following
+axes.
+
+#### Priority
+
+The `priority` axis describes the criticality of an issue.
+
+- `priority/critical`: This task is immediately necessary
+- `priority/high`: This task is needed as soon as possible
+- `priority/medium`: This task should be scheduled.
+- `priority/low`: The same as "no priority"
+
+
+#### Status
+
+The `status` axis describes the current condition of the issue or PR.
+
+- `status/invalid`: This doesn't seem right
+- `status/wontfix`: We will not work on this issue
+- `status/blocked`: This has a dependency
+- `status/accepted`: We have accepted item into a sprint
+
+
+#### Type
+
+The `type` axis describes in broad terms what sort of work is required by the issue or PR.
+
+- `type/bug`: Something isn't working
+- `type/enhancement`: This is a request for a new feature
+- `type/documentation`: This task is mostly about documentation
+- `type/research`: This task is primarily about information discovery
+- `type/discussion`: We need to talk about this
+
+
+
+### Multi value axes
+
+Issues and PRs may have multiple labels from each of the following
+axes.
+
+#### Flag
+
+The `flag` axis is used to bring attention to an issue or a pull request.
+
+- `flag/good first issue`: This is a good place to start
+- `flag/help wanted`: I need some help with this task
+- `flag/needs description`: This task needs a description
+- `flag/added post planning`: This item was added after sprint planning
+- `flag/question`: This item requires additional details
+- `flag/external`: This items is tracking an external issue.
+
+
+#### Topic
+
+The `topic` axis is for grouping tasks related to a certain subject. A task may have more than one `topic` label.
+
+- `topic/monitoring`: This task has to do with monitoring
+- `topic/devops`: This task furthers our devops related goals
+- `topic/policy`: This task is about how we do things.
+- `topic/mghpcc`: This task involves work at MGHPCC.
+- `topic/website`: This task involves the MOC website.
+
+
