triage-issue-reports

triage-issue-reports is a skill for Claude Code from minghinmatthewlam/agent-guards. It costs 46 tokens per session (2,174 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of triage-issue-reports, MIT.

A controlled workflow for reviewing issue reports posted in Slack, a team messaging service, and deciding whether a new bug should be filed in an issue tracker. It checks evidence, avoids duplicate reports, and follows strict posting and access rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify one Slack report, reply in its original thread, and create a tracker issue only when the report is a clear, new bug.
Why use it?
Issue reports can be incomplete, duplicated, or routed incorrectly, and automated replies can accidentally post in the wrong place. This workflow limits those risks and stops when required configuration or access is missing.

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-issue-reports 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 2d 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 — 241 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Triage issue reports

Classify one Slack report and post one useful verdict in its source thread. Create a tracker issue only for a clear, new bug. Do not reproduce or fix it here.

Load the external Benny configuration supplied by the automation. If the config is missing, malformed, or incomplete, stop without posting or writing to the tracker.

Hard safety rules

  • The source channel and root thread coordinates are immutable.
  • Never post a root message in the source channel.
  • Never post to another channel, broadcast a reply, send a DM, or start a replacement thread.
  • Preflight the source parent before any tracker write and immediately before the verdict post.
  • If the parent is missing, deleted, inaccessible, or uncertain, stop with no writes.
  • Post one substantive verdict. Do not narrate progress.
  • The coordinator is the only Slack poster.
  • Delegated workers return findings only. They must be read-only and receive no Slack credentials or write actions.
  • Every child prompt must forbid SendSlackMessage, PostToSlack, chat.postMessage, and every other Slack write.
  • If worker isolation cannot enforce those limits, do the work in the coordinator.
  • Never create an issue that cannot link back to the source thread.
  • Prefer no ticket over a guessed or duplicate ticket.
  • Apply pstack's principle-separate-before-serializing-shared-state to source coordinates.
  • Apply pstack's principle-minimize-reader-load and unslop skills to the final verdict.

1. Freeze source coordinates

Before making a work list or delegating:

  1. Read source_channel_id from the trigger.
  2. Require it to equal the configured source channel.
  3. Set SOURCE_THREAD_TS to trigger.thread_ts when present. Otherwise use trigger.ts.
  4. Require a nonempty SOURCE_THREAD_TS.
  5. Store SOURCE_CHANNEL_ID and SOURCE_THREAD_TS as immutable values.
  6. Read the thread and verify that its root has exactly those coordinates.
  7. Fetch a stable source permalink.

Every later source read and post must use those stored values. Never replace them with a reply timestamp or an operations-thread timestamp.

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.
