triage

triage is a skill for Claude Code from kenmulford/milestone-driver. It costs 85 tokens per session (8,687 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-build review for software issues or milestones. It checks whether the design has missing pieces and whether work is ordered around its dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review one issue or all open issues in a milestone, produce a dependency graph, and record blockers on affected issues.
Why use it?
It helps find blockers before coding starts, reducing rework caused by incomplete designs or incorrect task ordering.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 today.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 385 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

triage - pre-build review phase

Review issues for design gaps and dependency ordering. Emit an all-clear or a gap table. Post a blocker summary on each affected issue. Return the validated dependency graph.

Contents

1 Profile · 2 Gather · 2.5 Cache lookup · Resolve docs · Resolve citations · 3 Dispatch · 3.5 Resolve · 4 Aggregate · 5 Output · 6 Comment · 6.5 Cache write · 7 Return

Announce first

Say this to the user before doing any work:

Standing by while I review the issue(s) for gaps and dependencies needing your input before building.

Modes

Argument Mode Scope
Milestone name (string) Batch All open issues in that milestone
Issue number (integer) Single That one issue

Procedure

Step 1 - Read the profile

Read the profile (docs/profile-schema.md). Resolution (transitional READ only - triage performs no migration move): <repo>/.milestone-config/driver.json first, else the legacy root <repo>/milestone-driver.json. Both present → .milestone-config/driver.json wins; no move, no overwrite, no deletion. On the legacy layout, triage surfaces a one-line note - "legacy profile detected - will migrate on the next build/setup". If neither file exists or a required Core key is missing, invoke milestone-driver:setup, then continue.

Extract:

Key Default
triageAgent milestone-driver:triage-reviewer
designReviewAgent milestone-driver:design-reviewer
blockerResolverAgent milestone-driver:blocker-resolver
uiSurfaceGlobs (absent → no design-lens review)
sourceGlobs (pass through to the agent brief in Step 3)
nonNegotiables (pass through to the agent brief in Step 3)
domainSkills Expand before use: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/expand-domain-skills.{sh,ps1} ~/.claude/plugins/cache <entry>… (pwsh on Windows, bash elsewhere). Its stdout is what the Step 3 briefs carry, never the raw profile value; each unresolved: <entry> on stderr is named there as domainSkills unresolved: <entry>. Empty stdout is an absent key: the briefs omit domainSkills and still name those entries.

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 kenmulford/milestone-driver (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 8,687 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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.
