triage

triage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShiplightAI/agent-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (892 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for investigating and repairing failing Shiplight YAML tests. YAML is a plain-text format used here to describe tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when Shiplight tests fail, a deployment or UI change breaks existing tests, or several failures may share one cause.
Why use it?
It helps reproduce failures, find their cause, and make the smallest correct fix while distinguishing broken software from an outdated test.

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 8d 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.

Triage Failing Tests

Use this skill to reproduce, diagnose, and repair failing Shiplight YAML tests. If the application is broken or current behavior conflicts with the spec, report the mismatch instead of rewriting the test around it.

When To Use

Use /triage when:

  • A Shiplight test run is failing
  • A deployment or UI change broke existing tests
  • Several tests may share the same failure source
  • CI needs a best-effort repair/report pass

Skip /triage when:

  • Creating new tests from scratch; use /create-yaml-tests
  • Verifying UI code changes without failing tests; use /verify
  • Tests pass and the task is only quality improvement
  • The product is being intentionally redesigned and tests need planned rewriting

Required Context

Before editing YAML:

  1. Read the create-yaml-tests reference guides project-layout.md, updating-tests.md, test-implementation-guide.md, and knowledge.md.
  2. Read relevant knowledge/ notes for the failing area, environment, auth, data, and tooling.
  3. Read the matching spec under specs/tests/, if one exists.
  4. Read shiplight://yaml-test-spec and shiplight://schemas/action-entity.

Ground Truth

When sources disagree, this precedence applies:

  1. Explicit user instruction
  2. Feature or journey spec in specs/tests/
  3. Existing YAML test goal, step intent, and VERIFY assertions
  4. Current app behavior
  5. Project context in specs/context.md and knowledge/
  6. Agent docs
  7. Agent inference

If current app behavior conflicts with a spec or test goal, report the mismatch. Do not silently rewrite intent to match current behavior.

Workflow

  1. Reproduce — run the specified target, or the narrowest relevant suite if no target was provided. If a failure looks transient, rerun the smallest affected target once before editing.
  2. Understand — read the failure output, relevant YAML, matching spec, related tests, and shared templates/functions/hooks before opening a browser or changing files.
  3. Inspect when needed — when logs and files are not enough, inspect the live app in a browser. Use the evidence needed for the failure: DOM, actions, locators, console logs, network logs, screenshots, or recordings.
  4. Fix minimally — change the smallest correct surface: YAML, template, helper function, auth setup, environment data, or spec. Do not touch passing tests unless they share the same broken source.
  5. Validate and rerun — validate edited YAML with validate_yaml_test, then rerun the narrowest changed target. After batch fixes, rerun the original target once.
  6. Reflect — update specs, specs/context.md, or knowledge/ when the session produced durable learning or corrected stale assumptions.

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 ShiplightAI/agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 892 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
