triage

triage is a skill for Claude Code from SyloRei/claude-godmode. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,322 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for investigating a live production incident, such as an outage, regression, or unexpected failure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build an evidence-based timeline, measure the impact, reconstruct the incident, and route the confirmed fix.
Why use it?
It helps establish what happened and how widely the problem affects users before anyone changes the code.

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 9d 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.

Incident Triage

Respond to a live production incident — an outage, a regression, or unexpected behavior reported from the field. Establish what happened and how bad it is BEFORE touching code. This skill triages; it does not write the fix.


Auto Mode

Auto Mode suppresses confirmation prompts and proceed-pauses — not the one clarifying question that can matter here: when it started, when it was last known-good, or who reported it is unknown, don't ask blank — lead with your best-inferred answer to override (e.g. "I'll take the incident start as the first error at 14:02 UTC — correct me if it began earlier"), since triaging the wrong incident wastes the whole effort. This clarifying question follows the shared recommendation convention (godmode:recommend-convention) defined in rules/godmode-recommend.md. Once the symptom is anchored, proceed: reconstruct the timeline, assess blast radius, and route the fix without pausing. Treat course-corrections as normal input.


The Job

  1. Establish the timeline
  2. Assess blast radius
  3. Reconstruct with cited evidence via @incident-responder
  4. Route the confirmed fix

Do NOT skip to the fix. Understand the incident first.


Step 1: TIMELINE

  • What is the first observed symptom? (error, alert, user report)
  • When did it start? When was the system last known-good?
  • What changed in that window? (deploys, config, dependency, traffic)

Output: "Symptom [X] first seen at [time]. Last known-good [time]. Changed in window: [Y]."


Step 2: BLAST RADIUS

  • Who and what is affected? (users, endpoints, regions, downstream systems)
  • How severe is it? (full outage, degraded, single feature, cosmetic)
  • Is it still ongoing or self-resolved?

Output: "Affected: [scope]. Severity: [level]. Status: [ongoing/resolved]."


Step 3: RECONSTRUCT (spawn @incident-responder)

Spawn @incident-responder (read-only) to reconstruct the timeline against the code and recommend remediation with cited evidence. It investigates; it does not change code.

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 SyloRei/claude-godmode (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,322 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
