triage

triage is a skill for Claude Code from karlarao/afk. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,155 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of triage, MIT.

An issue-review workflow for sorting bugs and improvement requests in a project issue tracker. It uses labels to record both the issue type and its current review state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or review issues, request more details, mark work ready for an agent or person, or close requests that will not be handled.
Why use it?
It makes incoming work easier to understand, shows what information is missing, and identifies issues ready for an automated or human developer.

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 8d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

83% identical to triage — 67 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Triage

Move issues on the project issue tracker through a small state machine of triage roles.

Every comment or issue posted to the issue tracker during triage must start with this disclaimer:

> *This was generated by AI during triage.*

Reference docs

Roles

Two category roles:

  • bug — something is broken
  • enhancement — new feature or improvement

Five state roles:

  • needs-triage — maintainer needs to evaluate
  • needs-info — waiting on reporter for more information
  • ready-for-agent — fully specified, ready for an AFK agent
  • ready-for-human — needs human implementation
  • wontfix — will not be actioned

Every triaged issue should carry exactly one category role and one state role. If state roles conflict, flag it and ask the maintainer before doing anything else.

These are canonical role names — the actual label strings used in the issue tracker may differ. The mapping should have been provided to you - run /setup-matt-pocock-skills if not.

State transitions: an unlabeled issue normally goes to needs-triage first; from there it moves to needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, or wontfix. needs-info returns to needs-triage once the reporter replies. The maintainer can override at any time — flag transitions that look unusual and ask before proceeding.

Invocation

The maintainer invokes /triage and describes what they want in natural language. Interpret the request and act. Examples:

  • "Show me anything that needs my attention"
  • "Let's look at #42"
  • "Move #42 to ready-for-agent"
  • "What's ready for agents to pick up?"

Show what needs attention

Query the issue tracker and present three buckets, oldest first:

  1. Unlabeled — never triaged.
  2. needs-triage — evaluation in progress.
  3. needs-info with reporter activity since the last triage notes — needs re-evaluation.

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.
