shepherd-triage

shepherd-triage is a skill for Claude Code from mshadmanrahman/pm-pilot. It costs 42 tokens per session (2,390 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A bug-backlog checking tool that tests whether old reports still happen on a live website by using several agents at once.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check untriaged bugs, follow configured reproduction rules, and create a prioritized list of verified results for a product manager.
Why use it?
Bug lists become stale when issues are fixed, changed, or no longer reproducible. This separates confirmed problems from reports that need closing or review.

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

shepherd-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 3d 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.

/shepherd-triage — Mass Reproducibility Check

Launch parallel agents to check whether old bugs still reproduce on the live site. This is the core Bug Shepherd workflow: turning a stale backlog into a prioritized, verified list.

Audience: PMs who need to clean a backlog without reading code.

Arguments

  • {count} (optional): Number of bugs to triage. Default: 30. Max: 60.

Workflow

1. Load Configuration

Read .claude/triage.config.yaml. If it does not exist, run the first-run setup in /shepherd-sync step 1 to create it from the bundled template, then continue.

Read from it:

  • project.live_url — where to reproduce
  • reproduction.parallel_agents — how many agents to launch (default: 5)
  • reproduction.bugs_per_agent — bugs per agent (default: 6)
  • reproduction.triage_order — "priority" (default) or "oldest"
  • reproduction.viewports, reproduction.timeout_per_bug, reproduction.max_screenshots_per_bug: cost and time limits passed to each agent
  • safety.* — all safety rules

2. Auto-Sync Backlog

If .claude/backlog-live.md is older than 24 hours, run /shepherd-sync first.

3. Select Bugs to Triage

From backlog-live.md, select untriaged bugs (those not marked "Triaged"):

  • If triage_order is "priority" (default): sort by priority first (Highest > High > Medium > Low > Lowest), then by created date (oldest first) within each priority
  • If triage_order is "oldest": sort by created date (oldest first), ignoring priority
  • Skip bugs already in triage logs
  • Respect {count} parameter
  • Report: "Selected {count} bugs for triage (priorities: {P1}xHighest, {P2}xHigh, {P3}xMedium, {P4}xLow; oldest: {date}, newest: {date})"

4. Pre-Triage Safety Filter

Before launching agents, apply safety filters:

For each selected bug, check:

  1. Recent activity: If comments or updates within safety.recent_activity_days, move to "SKIP — Active" list
  2. Active assignee: If safety.skip_assigned is true and bug has an assignee, move to "SKIP — Assigned" list
  3. Never-auto-cancel category: If bug summary/description matches any safety.never_auto_cancel keyword, flag as "ALWAYS HUMAN REVIEW"

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.
