issue-triage

A GitHub issue triage workflow that classifies reports, applies standard labels, and tracks what should happen next.

In plain words
What is it for?
It separates bugs from improvements, finds duplicates, requests missing details, prepares briefs for coding agents, and manages stale issues.
Why use it?
It turns unclear or unorganized issues into a consistent state and identifies when more information or an implementation decision is needed.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

issue-triage scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Issue Triage

Move each issue through a small state machine. Every triaged issue carries exactly one category role and one state role:

  • Category: bug (something is broken) · enhancement (new feature or improvement)
  • State: needs-triage (awaiting evaluation) · needs-info (waiting on the reporter) · ready-for-agent (fully specified, an AFK agent can take it) · ready-for-human (needs human implementation) · wontfix (won't be actioned)

These are canonical role names; the actual label strings for a repo may differ — docs/agents/triage-labels.md holds the mapping when present. Run autonomously: there is no maintainer to ask mid-run. Where you'd want direction, either make the call and apply the label, or post a comment and stop — the async comment is the conversation.

Your job is to classify the issue and pin down the problem statement — clarify what's actually being asked, and ask for missing information when it's under-specified. You do not design or plan the implementation: you have only read-only context and no deep exploration, so solution design is left to the downstream build agent, which has full source access.

0. Ensure the labels exist

Before applying any label, create the canonical set in a single idempotent github_ensure_labels call — pass every row below as one labels array ({name, color}). It lists once and creates only the missing ones, so it never errors on labels that already exist:

Label Color Role
bug d73a4a category
enhancement a2eeef category
needs-triage ededed state
needs-info fbca04 state
ready-for-agent 0e8a16 state
ready-for-human 1d76db state
wontfix ffffff state
duplicate cfd3d7 dedupe
question d876e3 question

If the call is denied (the token lacks the permission), fall back to using only the labels that already exist on the repo and skip the rest. Done when the labels you need are present or you've confirmed you can't create them.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

issue-triage is a skill published in the GitHub repository nearform/lastlight (22 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 2,032 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
