triage

triage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutThisLife/brooklyn-skills. It costs 13 tokens per session (3,916 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An issue-triage procedure for maintainers. Issue triage means investigating bug reports and deciding what should happen to each one.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review issue URLs, numbers, searches, or pasted reports; investigate duplicates and resolutions; and consolidate competing fixes around the same root cause.
Why use it?
It replaces uncertain or duplicated handling with an investigation, a supported decision, and an owned fix when the report describes a real bug.

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 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 15d 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 — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Issue Triage

Investigate issues against current upstream, prove the disposition, and own the fix. For a real bug, consolidate competing PRs into one maintainer-owned replacement per root-cause cluster, preserving useful work and contributor credit. Do not bounce implementation back to reporters or contributors.

This skill is agent- and repository-independent. Use the host agent's available shell, file, search, and delegation capabilities; no particular tool API or runtime is required. Read companion skills by name using the host's skill loader or their SKILL.md files. Use gh for GitHub, glab for GitLab, or the forge's authenticated API. Repository instructions determine test commands and platform-specific validation.

When to use

  • /triage <issue URLs, numbers, range, or query>; a pasted report/thread is valid intake. Naming the skill in ordinary prose works too.
  • Backlog sweeps, duplicate/resolution investigations, and issue-to-fix maintainer passes.
  • PR-only review belongs to pr-triage; an already-owned PR's CI/reviews belong to pr-ready.

Authority and scope

  • Bare /triage is investigate + verdict first, like pr-triage. No forge writes, implementation, commits, or pushes until authorized. Behavioral probes in disposable worktrees are allowed.
  • “Fix”, “ship”, “execute”, or “go” authorizes the agreed implementation/publishing scope. Authorization for an entire triage-and-fix sweep carries through without asking per issue. A fix-only request does not authorize unrelated closures. “Audit”, “recommendations only”, and explicit restrictions override execution defaults.
  • Establish repository, selected issues, authority, and reviewed base once. Infer the current repo when unambiguous; ask only for genuinely missing scope. An unspecified /triage does not authorize sweeping every repo.
  • An authorized fix-and-ship run includes rebase auto-merge for eligible low-risk PRs, enabled when they open under the gate below; do not ask again per PR. Risky or uncertain changes require separate merge authorization. Explicit no-merge/review-only instructions override this default. UI changes still require visual approval before checks/commits/publishing under ui-only.
  • No auto-closure for age, popularity, speculative product taste, or failed local setup. Apply the repository's contribution/closure policy. Security reports follow private disclosure policy, not public reproduction comments.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository OutThisLife/brooklyn-skills (199 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 3,916 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-24.
