triage

triage is a skill for Claude Code from hereinthehive/gotrino-assistant. It costs 18 tokens per session (1,744 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-assessment process for deciding whether incoming work needs action and, if so, its type, size, and priority. It can cover feature requests, bug reports, internal needs, and technical debt.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess new requests before implementation, check their impact, and route them according to the project's task-management configuration.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish urgent or high-impact work from requests that can wait, reducing inconsistent prioritization.

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 9d 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 — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Triage

Assess an incoming request to determine whether it needs a response and, if so, the size, nature, and priority of that response.

Triage applies to all incoming work — new feature requests, bug reports, internal needs, and technical debt. These are not the same and should not be prioritised the same way. This process provides a shared framework for making that distinction.

Config Integration

Before starting, follow the migration preflight in references/config-migration.md, then read .assistant-config.md from the project root.

If it exists, read the Task Management section to determine:

  • Tracker: Where issues are managed (e.g. Linear, GitHub Issues, Jira)
  • Accessible via tools: Whether you can create/search issues directly
  • Local tasks: Where code-adjacent task files go

If the config doesn't exist or has no task management section, ask the user where they track work before routing (Step 5). Suggest running /teach-charter to set this up permanently.

When to invoke

  • A new request or bug arrives (from an issue tracker, chat, or conversation)
  • Before starting work on something that hasn't been assessed
  • When reprioritising existing work against new information

Step 1: Classify the request

Ask the user (or determine from context) what type of work this is:

Type Description
Bug Something that worked before and is now broken
Feature A new capability that doesn't exist yet
Enhancement Improvement to something that already works
Debt Internal cleanup, refactoring, or infrastructure

If unclear, ask: "Is this fixing something broken, adding something new, improving something existing, or cleaning something up?"

Step 2: Check for duplicates

Before going further, check whether this already exists:

  • If the project's tracker is accessible via tools (per config), search it for matching items
  • Search the codebase for TODO/FIXME comments related to the issue
  • Check the local task location (per config) for related task files
  • If a duplicate exists, report it and ask whether to update the existing item or proceed as new

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.
