issue-triage

A command that reviews open GitHub issues, which are tracked work items or bug reports in a repository. It produces a product-management report about backlog quality, priorities, user experience, and repository health.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze labels, priorities, stale work, duplicates, epics, user experience, or overall health, optionally limited to recently updated issues. It can also apply suggested changes after review.
Why use it?
It helps reveal stale issues, duplicates, oversized work items, unclear priorities, and other backlog problems that are easy to miss in a large list.

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

issue-triage 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Triage Open Issues

Scan open issues, analyze backlog health, re-evaluate priorities, assess UX impact, and produce a PM-level triage report with actionable recommendations.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS (optional flags: --repo owner/repo, --apply, --scope labels|priorities|stale|duplicates|epics|ux|all, --since 30d)

Steps

1. Detect Repository

  • If --repo flag provided, use that
  • Otherwise run gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwner
  • Confirm: "Will analyze issues in owner/repo."

2. Configure Scope

Parse flags:

  • --scope all (default): Run every analysis category
  • --scope labels,priorities: Only run specified categories
  • --since 30d: Only analyze issues updated in the last N days (useful for large backlogs)
  • --apply: Enable interactive mode to apply suggested changes after review

Available scopes: labels, priorities, stale, duplicates, oversized, epics, ux, health, all

3. Run Analysis

Launch the issue-analyst agent to:

  1. Fetch all open issues and repository context (labels, milestones, projects)
  2. Analyze each issue across all selected categories
  3. Compute aggregate metrics (composition, age, assignment, coverage, UX health)
  4. Generate prioritized recommendations

4. Present Triage Report

Display the full report using the template from issue-triage skill's references/triage-report.md:

  1. Backlog Composition — bugs vs features vs refactoring vs unlabeled, with decision tips
  2. Issue Age Distribution — how old is the backlog, with decision tips
  3. Assignment & Ownership — who owns what, overloaded assignees
  4. Milestone & Epic Coverage — how many issues are planned vs orphaned
  5. UX Health Score — critical UX issues, impact assessment, score
  6. Findings — detailed tables for each category (missing labels, priority changes, stale, duplicates, oversized, epic suggestions, orphans)
  7. Recommended Actions — top 5-10 prioritized actions the PM should take

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.
