triaging-issues

triaging-issues is a skill for Claude Code from qte77/claude-code-plugins. It costs 61 tokens per session (779 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only planner for open GitHub issues, grouping them by concern and ranking them by value, effort, risk, and dependencies. GitHub issues are the project's tracked requests, bugs, and tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify priority work, quick wins, dependencies, duplicate issues, and possible candidates for closing.
Why use it?
It turns a large or disorganised backlog into an ordered plan without changing, closing, or commenting on issues.

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

triaging-issues 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 21d 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 — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Triage GitHub Issues

Filter: $ARGUMENTS (optional label or keyword; empty = all open issues)

Read-only: never label, comment on, or close issues — present the plan; acting on it is a separate, explicit step.

Step 1: Fetch issues

gh issue list --state open --limit 200 --json number,title,author,labels,createdAt,updatedAt

If gh is missing or unauthenticated, stop and say so — do not guess the backlog. Apply the filter if given. Read bodies (and comments) with gh issue view <N> --json body,comments.

Step 2: Cluster by concern

Group issues by the concern they actually address (e.g. CI gates, a plugin's behaviour, docs, proposals needing a decision) — derive clusters from the content, not a fixed taxonomy. Note dependencies (X blocks Y) and duplicates.

Step 3: Score each issue

Dimension Scale
ROI H / M / L — user-visible impact, bugs breaking installs/runs rank highest
Effort S < 0.5 d · M 1–2 d · L > 2 d — from the actual code, never estimated blind
Risk / deps what could break, what must land first, what needs an owner decision

Tier: P0 do now (high ROI, low effort) · P1 next · P2 later / needs scoping · P3 close or won't-do (with evidence).

For large backlogs, fan out one read-only subagent per cluster (Agent tool; or cc-meta:orchestrating-parallel-workers if installed) and ground effort estimates by reading the relevant code (codebase-tools:researching-codebase if installed).

Step 4: Verify before asserting

The step triage most often gets wrong:

  • "Already fixed" / "superseded" / "close it" needs file-level evidence — the current file on the default branch or the commit that fixed it. A plausible commit message is not evidence.
  • Re-check any count you report (files, skills, affected items) at source; say how you counted.
  • Verify vendor/library claims against a first-party source.
  • A subagent's verdict is a hypothesis: spot-check the load-bearing ones yourself.

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.
