github-triage

A workflow for sorting GitHub issues—reports or requests attached to a code repository—using category and state labels. It prepares issues for maintainers or agents and uses the repository's own guidance documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review incoming bugs and feature requests, create or organize issues, resolve label conflicts, and prepare fully specified issues for implementation.
Why use it?
It turns an unorganized issue queue into a clear workflow. Consistent labels show whether an issue needs information, review, an agent, a human, or no action.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

github-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 2d 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 — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Issue Triage

Triage issues in the current repo using a label-based state machine. Infer the repo from git remote. Use gh for all GitHub operations.

AI Disclaimer

Every comment or issue posted to GitHub during triage must include the following disclaimer at the top of the comment body, before any other content:

> *This was generated by AI during triage.*

Reference docs

Labels

Label Type Description
bug Category Something is broken
enhancement Category New feature or improvement
needs-triage State Maintainer needs to evaluate this issue
needs-info State Waiting on reporter for more information
ready-for-agent State Fully specified, ready for AFK agent
ready-for-human State Requires human implementation
wontfix State Will not be actioned

Every issue should have exactly one state label and one category label. If an issue has conflicting state labels (e.g. both needs-triage and ready-for-agent), flag the conflict and ask the maintainer which state is correct before doing anything else. Provide a recommendation.

State Machine

Current State Can transition to Who triggers it What happens
unlabeled needs-triage Skill (on first look) Issue needs maintainer evaluation. Skill applies label after presenting recommendation.
unlabeled ready-for-agent Maintainer (via skill) Issue is already well-specified and agent-suitable. Skill writes agent brief comment, applies label.
unlabeled ready-for-human Maintainer (via skill) Issue requires human implementation. Skill writes a brief comment summarizing the task, applies label.
unlabeled wontfix Maintainer (via skill) Issue is spam, duplicate, or out of scope. Skill closes with comment (and writes .out-of-scope/ for enhancements).
needs-triage needs-info Maintainer (via skill) Issue is underspecified. Skill posts triage notes capturing progress so far + questions for reporter.
needs-triage ready-for-agent Maintainer (via skill) Grilling session complete, agent-suitable. Skill writes agent brief comment, applies label.
needs-triage ready-for-human Maintainer (via skill) Grilling session complete, needs human. Skill writes a brief comment summarizing the task, applies label.
needs-triage wontfix Maintainer (via skill) Maintainer decides not to action. Skill closes with comment (and writes .out-of-scope/ for enhancements).
needs-info needs-triage Skill (detects reply) Reporter has replied. Skill surfaces to maintainer for re-evaluation.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
