triage

triage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stevesolun/ctx. It costs 39 tokens per session (523 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for sorting and advancing software issues or outside pull requests through defined categories and states.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect queues, classify bugs and improvements, check discussions and code, recommend the next state, and apply an authorized transition.
Why use it?
It prevents tracker items from being handled inconsistently or moved forward without enough information and evidence.

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 4d 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 tracker work

Use the repository's tracker configuration and label mapping. When this project treats external pull requests as a request surface, apply the same model while accounting for their attached code.

Prefix comments created during this workflow with:

> *This was generated by AI during triage.*

Preserve the state model

Use one category role:

  • bug
  • enhancement

Use one state role:

  • needs-triage
  • needs-info
  • ready-for-agent
  • ready-for-human
  • wontfix

The configured tracker may map these roles to different label strings. Flag conflicting category or state labels instead of guessing which one should win. A maintainer may authorize an unusual transition.

Inspect proportionally

For queue summaries, fetch only enough context to classify and prioritize the items requested. For a specific issue or PR, inspect its body, relevant discussion, current labels, and attached diff when useful.

Check code, tests, prior decisions, and .out-of-scope/ only to the depth needed for a trustworthy recommendation. Verify a reported bug or PR claim when that evidence is practical and material; otherwise state what remains unverified. Avoid re-asking questions already resolved in prior triage notes.

Recommend or act

Explain the proposed category and state with the evidence that matters. Ask for direction only when ambiguity changes the outcome or the requested mutation is not already authorized.

When applying an outcome:

  • needs-info: state what is known and ask specific answerable questions.
  • ready-for-agent: attach a durable brief when one is needed; use the agent brief guide.
  • ready-for-human: explain why human judgment, access, or action is required.
  • wontfix: explain the reason before closing. Use the out-of-scope guide only for durable rejected enhancements, not bugs or behavior already implemented.
  • needs-triage: preserve useful partial findings when a note would help.

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 stevesolun/ctx (583 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 523 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 2026-08-30.
