triage-labels

A set of standard GitHub labels for sorting and assigning repository issues. The labels show whether an issue needs evaluation, more information, an automated coding agent, a human, or no action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when triaging GitHub issues, requesting missing details, marking work as safe for an unattended agent, or identifying work that needs human judgment.
Why use it?
It gives everyone the same meaning for issue status and clarifies who or what should handle each issue next.

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/SquareWaveSystems/squarebox
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 133 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 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

Canonical role GitHub label Meaning
needs-triage needs-triage Maintainer needs to evaluate the issue
needs-info needs-info Waiting for reporter information
ready-for-agent ready-for-agent Fully specified and safe for an AFK agent
ready-for-human ready-for-human Requires human implementation or judgment
wontfix wontfix Will not be actioned

All canonical role labels are configured in GitHub.

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 SquareWaveSystems/squarebox (71 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 133 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.
