triage

A workflow for reviewing open GitHub issues in the herdr project and presenting recommended priorities in a compact table. It labels issues as fix now, queue, or defer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide which herdr issues need immediate attention, which should be scheduled, and which can wait.
Why use it?
It turns a long issue list into a decision-oriented view based on signals such as bugs, user impact, age, and reactions.

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

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.

What it actually says

Herdr Issue Triage

Use this skill only inside the herdr repository.

When the user says triage, inspect open GitHub issues for herdrdev/herdr and return a concise Markdown table. Prefer GitHub MCP tools when available. If they are unavailable, use gh issue list / gh issue view only when authenticated access is already configured.

Use this table shape:

Light Recommendation Issue Age Reactions Why
🔴 fix now #123 18d 5 user-visible regression
🟡 queue #124 42d 2 useful but not blocking
🔵 defer #125 7d 0 cosmetic polish

Keep issue numbers as Markdown links. Use days since issue creation for Age. Use total reactions for Reactions; include a compact breakdown only when it changes interpretation, such as 7 (5 👍, 2 👀).

Classify with these lights:

  • 🔴 fix now: reproducible bug, crash, data loss, blocked workflow, release risk, or high-confidence user-visible regression.
  • 🟡 queue: useful feature, important quality issue, repeated user signal, stale issue that still looks valid, or behavior worth scheduling.
  • 🔵 defer: cosmetic polish, low-signal idea, unclear report, docs-only nit, or issue that likely needs more evidence before implementation.

Recommendations should be short imperative phrases: fix now, queue, defer, needs repro, close?, or needs owner decision.

Write one sentence before the table only if needed to state scope, such as how many open issues were inspected. After the table, add at most one short note for uncertainty or follow-up. Do not produce a long narrative unless the user asks for depth.

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.
