triage-issue

A workflow for checking community-filed OpenShell issues, separating verified technical facts from product decisions, and preparing issues for human review. Issue triage means assessing and routing reports before deciding whether to build something.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it on a specific issue or a confirmed batch marked for triage. It checks the report, validates the behavior, and prepares the issue for a human disposition.
Why use it?
It helps maintainers determine whether a reported problem is real and what information is missing, without allowing an agent to make roadmap or acceptance decisions.

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 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 — 253 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Triage Issue

Establish the facts a human needs to decide whether OpenShell should address an issue and, if so, where it belongs on the roadmap. Triage does not authorize work, sequence it, or produce an implementation plan.

Prerequisites

  • The gh CLI must be authenticated (gh auth status)
  • You must be in a git repository with a GitHub remote
  • The workflow labels state:validated, state:accepted, and state:needs-info must exist. Report missing labels to the operator; do not create them implicitly.

Critical: Disposition and Roadmap Placement Are Human-Only

Triage establishes technical validity; it does not decide whether valid work belongs on the roadmap. Agents must never:

  • Decide that OpenShell should or should not invest in otherwise valid work.
  • Apply or remove state:accepted.
  • Add an issue to the roadmap project, apply or remove the roadmap label, or recommend a specific roadmap item.
  • Apply agent:plan-requested or agent:implementation-requested.
  • Treat technical validity as product acceptance.

OpenShell has no priority:* labels. Sequencing comes from association with an item on the OpenShell Roadmap, and that association is a maintainer decision.

state:validated means the factual assessment is complete and awaits human disposition. A human declines by closing the issue as not planned with a rationale, or accepts by applying state:accepted, placing the issue on the roadmap, or doing both as documented in CONTRIBUTING.md. Accepted work may remain human-owned. A maintainer can queue deeper agent investigation or planning with agent:plan-requested, or a user can directly ask an agent to work on a specific issue.

The optional agent:* workflow controls unattended queue pickup: agent:plan-requested queues planning, and agent:implementation-requested queues implementation after plan review. A direct user instruction separately authorizes the phase it requests. The agent warns about missing or incomplete expected lifecycle and workflow labels, then continues without changing them.

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-issue is a skill published in the GitHub repository NVIDIA/OpenShell (8,421 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 3,014 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 2026-08-30.
