github-triage

A label-based workflow for sorting GitHub issues, which are reports or requests tracked in a repository. It moves issues through states such as needing information, ready for an agent, or requiring a person.

In plain words
What is it for?
Classifying issues, requesting missing details, preparing well-specified issues for autonomous work, and routing issues that need human judgment.
Why use it?
It gives incoming issues a consistent status and category. It also requires an AI notice on comments or issue descriptions created during triage.

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

github-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 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 — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

State-machine triage over GitHub issues. Every comment posted carries an AI disclaimer. Label names are configurable; state semantics are not.

AI disclaimer (mandatory)

Every comment or new issue body posted during triage MUST begin with:

> *This was generated by AI during triage.*

No exceptions.

Label map (configure per project)

Bind ODIN's abstract state tokens to your repo's actual label names. Edit this block before first use; defaults match Matt Pocock's upstream convention.

category:
  bug:        "bug"             # something is broken
  enhancement:"enhancement"     # new feature or improvement
state:
  triage_pending:   "needs-triage"     # maintainer must evaluate
  awaiting_info:    "needs-info"       # waiting on reporter
  ready_for_agent:  "ready-for-agent"  # fully specified, autonomous-agent-suitable
  ready_for_human:  "ready-for-human"  # requires human judgment
  wont_fix:         "wontfix"          # closed, not actioned

Body uses the abstract tokens (triage_pending, ready_for_agent, etc.). Replace with your repo's labels at apply time.

Invariants

  • Every issue carries exactly one category label and one state label.
  • Conflicting state labels = halt and ask the maintainer which is correct.
  • Maintainer can override any state directly; flag unusual transitions.

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.
