squid-triage-issue

squid-triage-issue is a skill for Claude Code from iusztinpaul/squid. It costs 50 tokens per session (2,039 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for turning a vague bug report into a precise task that a developer can fix. It records how to reproduce the problem, what should happen, what actually happens, where the code is involved, and a regression test requirement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare customer reports, stack traces, flaky tests, or tracker issues for development by producing a reproducible, testable bug specification.
Why use it?
It removes ambiguity before implementation begins and ensures the bug stays fixed after the code changes.

    Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.
    Fix: Limit the skill's scope to its documented purpose. Remove instructions that enable the agent to perform actions outside its stated functionality.

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

squid-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 3d 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 — turn a bug report into a groomed, fixable task

/squid-implement-task and /squid-implement-night both assume the spec is already shaped right. Bug reports rarely are: they read "X is broken" and need a reproducer, expected-vs-actual, code localisation, and a regression-test acceptance criterion before SWE / Tester can do anything useful with them. This skill produces that groomed bug task, then hands off.

You are the triage orchestrator — you may delegate exploration to sub-agents (Explore, general-purpose), but you do NOT write production code, do NOT write the regression test, and do NOT start the fix. Your output is the spec.

$ARGUMENTS is one of:

  • A free-form bug description (paste-in customer report, stack trace, "X is broken when Y").
  • A path to a markdown report (docs/bugs/foo.md).
  • A tracker reference (NNN-slug in file mode, #N in gh mode).

If empty, ask the user for one before proceeding.

Read AGENTS.md first to confirm the active tracker mode (file or gh).

When NOT to use

  • A feature request — use /squid-plan (PA grooming) directly.
  • A refactor with no observable user impact — use /squid-refactor.
  • A trivial typo or one-line bug you can fix right now in chat — just fix it.
  • An incident still in progress — stabilise first, triage after.

Step 1 — Resolve the report

Identify what to triage from $ARGUMENTS:

  1. File pathcat the report.
  2. Tracker reference (NNN-slug file mode, #N gh mode) → load the existing record (tasks/NNN-*.md or gh issue view N --json number,title,body,labels).
  3. Free-form text → use as-is.
  4. Empty → ask: "What bug should I triage? (Paste the report, give me a path, or a tracker reference.)"

Echo the resolved report back to the user in one paragraph as confirmation. Don't block — proceed.

Step 2 — Localise

Spawn ONE Explore agent (or general-purpose if the report is vague enough that exploration needs interview-style breadth). Prompt sketch (adapt as needed):
