issue-triage

A workflow for reviewing and categorizing open GitHub issues by type and priority. GitHub issues are shared records for bugs, requests, and other project work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect open issues, identify bugs or other categories, check for duplicates, and assign priority labels.
Why use it?
It helps turn an unorganized issue backlog into labeled work that can be reviewed and prioritized consistently.

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 yesterday.

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.

Issue Triage Skill

Efficiently triage GitHub issues for Java projects with categorization and prioritization.

When to Use

  • User says "triage issues" / "check recent issues"
  • Regular maintenance workflow
  • After vacation/break (backlog processing)
  • Weekly/monthly issue review

Prerequisites

Recommended: GitHub MCP server configured for optimal token usage

claude mcp add github --transport http \
  https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/

Alternative: Use gh CLI (less token-efficient)

Workflow

1. Fetch Issues

With GitHub MCP (recommended):

Tool: list_issues
Parameters: {
  "state": "open",
  "sort": "updated", 
  "per_page": 10
}

With gh CLI:

gh issue list --state open --limit 10 --json number,title,labels,body,url

2. Categorize Each Issue

Analyze issue content and assign category:

Bug Report ✅

Indicators:

  • Has stack trace or error message
  • Steps to reproduce provided
  • Expected vs actual behavior described
  • Mentions specific version numbers

Actions:

  • Label: bug
  • Verify reproducibility from description
  • Check for duplicate bugs
  • Add to milestone if critical

Example:

Issue #234: "NPE when loading plugin from directory"
- Stack trace: ✅
- Reproduction steps: ✅
- Version info: ✅
→ Label: bug, high-priority
Feature Request 💡

Indicators:

  • Asks for new functionality
  • Use case described
  • "It would be nice if..." / "Could you add..."
  • Rationale provided

Actions:

  • Label: enhancement
  • Assess alignment with project goals
  • Mark for discussion if non-trivial
  • Ask for community feedback
Question/Support ❓

Indicators:

  • "How do I..." / "Can someone help..."
  • Configuration/usage questions
  • Not a bug or feature request

Actions:

  • Label: question
  • Provide answer or link to docs
  • Suggest StackOverflow for complex help
  • Close after answer if resolved
Duplicate 🔄

Search for similar issues:

  • Use GitHub search: is:issue <keywords>
  • Check recently closed issues
  • Look for same error messages

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
