triage

triage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Justinmendezai/The-Adam-Repo. It costs 53 tokens per session (748 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An issue-sorting workflow that moves new work from an inbox to ready-for-work through focused review steps. An issue is a reported bug or task, and each role answers one narrow question about it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check reproduction, clarify scope, set priority, decide ownership, and prepare issues for implementation.
Why use it?
It prevents unclear, oversized, or poorly prioritised work from reaching developers. Bugs must first be reproducible, while other tasks must describe a testable user outcome.

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 2mo 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

Adapted from Matt Pocock's triage. Each issue moves through a series of roles, each with a narrow question. The agent embodies one role at a time and answers only that role's question.

Roles (state machine)

INBOX
  → REPRODUCER  (can we reproduce it? if a bug)
  → SCOPER      (what's the smallest fix? what's out of scope?)
  → PRIORITIZER (how important is this relative to what's open?)
  → ASSIGNER    (who picks this up? agent or human?)
  → READY

Or for non-bug work:

INBOX
  → CLARIFIER   (is the user-visible outcome described concretely?)
  → SCOPER      (smallest delivering this outcome?)
  → PRIORITIZER (relative importance)
  → ASSIGNER
  → READY

Each role is a focused pass. Don't try to do all of them at once.

Per-role questions

REPRODUCER (bugs only)

  • Is there a repro? If not, what's the smallest probable repro?
  • Run it (or dispatch a shell subagent to). Confirm or refute.
  • If unreproducible, label needs-repro and pause until more info.

CLARIFIER (non-bug)

  • Is the user-visible outcome described concretely enough that a test could be written for it?
  • If no, draft 1–3 questions for the issue author. Don't proceed until answered.

SCOPER

  • What's the smallest, well-bounded change that resolves this?
  • What's explicitly out of scope?
  • Can it be a single slice in a adam flow, or does it want a PRD?

PRIORITIZER

  • Compare to other open issues (read titles, not bodies).
  • Output one of: now, next, someday. Avoid finer granularity unless the team has a labelling convention.

ASSIGNER

  • Could a Composer 2 subagent do this? Check the slice's clarity and scope.
  • If yes → label agent-ready, ready for slice-to-tasks + dispatch.
  • If no → assign to a human, with a one-paragraph note explaining what makes it human-only.

Label vocabulary

Use the project's labels from adam.json (or equivalent). If absent, ask the user once and store them.

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.

triage is a skill published in the GitHub repository Justinmendezai/The-Adam-Repo (14 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 748 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
