triage-issue

triage-issue is a skill for Claude Code from aden-hive/hive. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,004 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for checking whether a GitHub issue accurately describes a problem in a codebase. It reads the issue, compares its claims with the implementation and tests, and classifies the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect an issue's claims, find the related code, review tests and documentation, and respond to or close invalid issues.
Why use it?
It helps separate real bugs from misunderstandings or invalid reports before an issue is closed. The process produces a technical response based on the repository's actual behavior.

About the project

OpenHive is a runtime for groups of specialized AI agents that collaborate on long-running business processes. A persistent lead agent, called the Queen, creates and coordinates worker agents while the system manages state, recovery, observability, costs, and human oversight. The catalogue entries provide agent skills, instructions, and integrations for working with this harness.

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-issue 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 8d 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.

Triage Issue Skill

Analyze a GitHub issue, verify claims against the codebase, and close invalid issues with a technical response.

Trigger

User provides a GitHub issue URL or number, e.g.:

  • /triage-issue 1970
  • /triage-issue https://github.com/adenhq/hive/issues/1970

Workflow

Step 1: Fetch Issue Details

gh issue view <number> --repo adenhq/hive --json title,body,state,labels,author

Extract:

  • Title
  • Body (the claim/bug report)
  • Current state
  • Labels
  • Author

If issue is already closed, inform user and stop.

Step 2: Analyze the Claim

Read the issue body and identify:

  1. The core claim - What is the user asserting?
  2. Technical specifics - File paths, function names, code snippets mentioned
  3. Expected behavior - What do they think should happen?
  4. Severity claimed - Security issue? Bug? Feature request?

Step 3: Investigate the Codebase

For each technical claim:

  1. Find the referenced code using Grep/Glob/Read
  2. Understand the actual implementation
  3. Check if the claim accurately describes the behavior
  4. Look for related tests, documentation, or design decisions

Step 4: Evaluate Validity

Categorize the issue as one of:

Category Action
Valid Bug Do NOT close. Inform user this is a real issue.
Valid Feature Request Do NOT close. Suggest labeling appropriately.
Misunderstanding Prepare technical explanation for why behavior is correct.
Fundamentally Flawed Prepare critique explaining the technical impossibility or design rationale.
Duplicate Find the original issue and prepare duplicate notice.
Incomplete Prepare request for more information.

Step 5: Draft Response

For issues to be closed, draft a response that:

  1. Acknowledges the concern - Don't be dismissive
  2. Explains the actual behavior - With code references
  3. Provides technical rationale - Why it works this way
  4. References industry standards - If applicable
  5. Offers alternatives - If there's a better approach for the user

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-issue is a skill published in the GitHub repository aden-hive/hive (11,021 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,004 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.
