git-issue-triage

git-issue-triage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pivoshenko/pivoshenko.ai. It costs 204 tokens per session (2,581 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A GitHub backlog review that reads open issues, places each into exactly one condition such as stale, blocked, duplicate, or healthy, and proposes grouped updates. GitHub issues are the project's work queue and labels mark their status or kind.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify open issues, report each issue's condition, confirm category changes, and then apply and verify batched backlog updates.
Why use it?
It removes the need to inspect and sort a large backlog by hand. The read-only review happens before labels, comments, or closures are applied.

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

git-issue-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 29d 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 — 189 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Git Issue Triage

Groom the open backlog. Read-only sweep -> bucketed report -> per-category confirm -> apply -> verify.

Report what the sweep returned, never what this file predicts. The buckets below define how to classify; the contents come from the run.

Flow

  1. Sweep, read-only, two calls total:

    gh issue list --state open --limit 200 --json number,title,labels,assignees,createdAt,updatedAt,body
    gh label list --limit 200 --json name -q '.[].name'
    

    Why -> one batched fetch, never gh issue view per issue. A 60-issue backlog is 60 round trips that way, and the list payload carries every field the buckets need except the Stale comment count, fetched per Stale. Not comments - that field returns every comment body for every open issue, a context blowout on exactly the big backlogs this skill targets. 200 rows returned -> the cap was hit and the sweep is not authoritative; raise --limit or paginate before bucketing, and say so in the report

  2. Zero open issues -> say so, stop. No report, no proposals

  3. Corroborating fetch, only if step 1 produced Closeable candidates:

    gh search prs --repo "$(gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwner)" --merged --limit 100 --json number,title,body
    

    Grep those bodies for #<n>. Why -> a merged PR naming the issue is the only close signal that does not require reading the tree. 100 rows returned -> the cap was hit; raise --limit or paginate before treating the grep as evidence

  4. Bucket every open issue into exactly one category. See Buckets

  5. Report. One line per issue, grouped, counts in each heading. See Report Format

  6. Confirm per category, never per issue and never all-at-once. AskUserQuestion, multiSelect, one option per non-empty actionable category. Why -> closing is irreversible in effect even though technically reopenable, relabelling is not, and the user is entitled to accept "labels yes, closes no"

  7. Apply only the accepted categories, batched. See Apply

  8. Summary: counts applied per category, plus one line per skipped issue with why. No recap of what step 5 already listed

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.
