model-triage

model-triage is a skill for Claude Code from joshukraine/dotfiles. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,701 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository tool for sorting open software issues by the level of coding work they require and applying the project's model-selection labels and board fields.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when introducing this issue-labeling convention to an existing repository or when checking for missing labels and mismatched board fields.
Why use it?
It keeps issue assignments consistent and helps a team see which kind of AI model or review level each issue needs.

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

model-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 1mo 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 — 173 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Model Triage

Roll the per-issue model-selection convention into a repository: tier each open issue, then apply the model: labels, the board's Model field, and any body callouts — all behind a single approval gate. The convention, its heuristic, and the manual runbook this encodes live in ~/.claude/docs/model-selection-strategy.md; the label vocabulary lives in ~/.claude/docs/label-taxonomy.md.

This is a rollout tool, not a routine one. Model labels are assigned at issue creation alongside the type label. Run this skill once when adopting the convention in a repo that already has open issues, and after that only in maintenance mode when drift has accumulated.

Where this runs

From the target repository's checkout — you need the issues and the code, because tiering an issue means judging what a fix would actually touch. If you must run from elsewhere, every gh issue call needs --repo <owner>/<name>; without it the command silently targets whatever repo you are standing in.

Arguments

  • (no args) — full rollout: tier every open issue that should carry a label.
  • --maintenance — sweep mode: tier only issues missing a label, reconcile label ↔ board-field drift, and refresh stale label descriptions. Leaves existing label assignments alone unless an issue's scope has visibly changed.

The tiering heuristic

Assign a tier by asking what a wrong answer costs and how far the reasoning reaches. Full treatment in the strategy doc; the working summary:

  • Fable (flagship) — a wrong answer would silently corrupt canonical/persistent data with no error surface. This is the insurance case, and only that case. Expect it rare, and expect each one to have a nameable reason. (Multi-module reasoning with non-obvious ripple used to qualify here too; Opus 5 absorbed it and the clause was cut on 2026-07-27.)
  • Opus (workhorse) — well-specified features with a test scaffold and a contained blast radius; migrations / data-model; thin specs; security-adjacent work. The default when you genuinely can't tell.
  • Sonnet (light) — docs, a single regression test, i18n / copy, mechanical pattern-following where the spec leaves little to interpret and failure is visible.

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.
