ticket-triage

ticket-triage is a skill for Claude Code from alexmond/alexmskills. It costs 168 tokens per session (4,266 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A ticket-management workflow that reviews a backlog, ranks open tickets, identifies which are ready or blocked, and runs ready work in parallel. It rechecks the backlog whenever an agent finishes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to triage issues, dispatch independent work, merge results, and keep processing the backlog until no ready work remains.
Why use it?
It reduces manual scheduling and prevents ready tickets from waiting while blocked or completed work remains in the queue.

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

ticket-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 — 327 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ticket-triage

The recurring instruction is some form of "review tickets, prioritise, start in parallel." This skill is the scheduler for that loop: it ranks, dispatches isolated agents at an honest width, merges, and re-triages on every completion. It schedules across tickets; what runs within a ticket is whatever the ticket needs — a single role-briefed agent for most, a dev-crew relay for multi-phase deliveries (see Composition).

First run: the repo profile

Triage rules are portable; the facts they act on are not. On first run in a repo (and on "re-profile"), write .claude/ticket-triage/profile.md by inspecting the repo and asking the user only what can't be read:

  • Where the backlog lives — the issue tracker, plus any doc-based roadmap or plan files that also hold pending work.
  • The verification command(s) — the repo's real gate (test/lint/build), so briefs name it instead of inventing one.
  • Protected instances — any running dev server/port that belongs to the user and must never be stopped, restarted, or measured against.
  • Merge policy — squash vs merge, who merges (default: the conductor, never the agent), required checks.
  • Standing constraints — decisions already made (ADRs, conventions) that briefs must state so they aren't re-litigated per ticket.

Read the profile at the start of every run. If .claude/ticket-triage/ doesn't exist, this is a first run.

Start with the facts, not the ticket titles

bash <plugin>/scripts/backlog-snapshot.sh          # issues, PRs, worktrees, recent main CI
bash <plugin>/scripts/backlog-snapshot.sh --brief  # just issues + PRs

Read-only; it starts nothing and stops nothing. If the repo defines .claude/ticket-triage/snapshot-extra.sh, the script runs it too — that is where repo-specific facts (running instances, roadmap markers) come from.

The backlog is usually more than one place, and the doc-based part drifts — in the direction that wastes the most time: items describing shipped work as pending, or prescribing a measurement that can't answer its own question. Verify a doc-sourced item against the code before ranking it. If it is stale, fixing the doc is itself a ticket-sized piece of work worth doing.

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.
