triage-labels

A set of rules for representing five common work-triage labels as Clew tags. Triage labels show how an item should be handled, while Clew statuses show its position in the work lifecycle.

In plain words
What is it for?
Tagging work that needs review, more information, an agent, or a human, and recording when an item will not be fixed by abandoning it with a reason.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from confusing classification tags such as needs-info or ready-for-agent with statuses such as todo or done.

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.

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 2d ago.

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

Triage Labels

Matt Pocock's skills speak in terms of five canonical triage roles. Clew does not have external tracker labels; represent triage roles as Clew tags except where noted.

Label in mattpocock/skills Clew representation Meaning
needs-triage tag needs-triage Maintainer needs to evaluate this increment
needs-info tag needs-info; add blocked_reason when useful Waiting on reporter or human clarification
ready-for-agent tag ready-for-agent Fully specified, ready for an AFK agent
ready-for-human tag ready-for-human Requires human implementation or judgment
wontfix abandon the increment with a durable reason Will not be actioned

Rules

  • Do not confuse triage tags with Clew statuses.
  • Clew statuses are lifecycle states: backlog, todo, in_progress, done, abandoned.
  • Triage tags are classification/state hints for humans and agents.
  • If multiple triage tags conflict, ask the maintainer before editing.
  • If the user says "won't fix", prefer abandoning the increment with the reason preserved rather than adding a tag.

Until Clew has dedicated tag commands, direct markdown edits to frontmatter tags: are acceptable.

Changes

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 npatten/Clew (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 292 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 2026-08-31.
