triage-labels

A guide that maps four general issue-review roles to the actual labels used in a GitHub repository. GitHub labels are tags attached to issues to show their status or purpose.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when triaging new issues, requesting more information, marking work ready for an agent, or recording a decision not to fix an issue.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from using inconsistent labels when sorting and preparing issues for work.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/callstack/agent-device
Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 240 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

triage-labels scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Issue Label Workflow

The skills speak in terms of four canonical triage roles. This file maps those roles to the actual GitHub labels used in this repo.

Skill role GitHub label Meaning
needs-triage needs-triage New or unreviewed issue; maintainer needs to evaluate it
needs-info needs-info Waiting on reporter or external input
ready-for-agent ready-for-agent Fully specified, AFK-ready for an agent to pick up
wontfix wontfix Will not be actioned after an explicit maintainer decision

Default flow:

  1. New issues get needs-triage.
  2. Remove needs-triage once the issue is understood and valid.
  3. Add needs-info when reporter or external input is required.
  4. Add ready-for-agent when the issue is fully specified and can be picked up by an AFK agent with no extra human context.
  5. Add wontfix only after an explicit maintainer decision.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

triage-labels is an agent published in the GitHub repository callstack/agent-device (4,300 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 240 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

A basic agent uses a predefined strategy with a simple execution flow that works for most common use cases. It accepts a string input (a question, request, or task description) and sends this input to the configured LLM. The LLM may decide to call provided tools.
