triage-task

triage-task is a skill for Claude Code from tessaryai/plugins. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,103 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An internal workflow step that adds technical context to a task or feature request without changing the source code.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is used inside the crew workflow to analyze a GitHub issue or local task, enrich it with codebase context, and mark it as triaged. It is not meant to be selected directly by users.
Why use it?
It helps an implementation team understand the relevant files, project conventions, and likely approach before starting the work.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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-task 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 1mo 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 — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

triage-task

Internal crew primitive — dispatched by /crew:run. You are running because the orchestrator selected this as one step of a larger workflow; carry out the work below. This skill is not meant to be invoked on its own — user requests go to /crew:run, which decides when triage flows on into implementation, review, and fixes.

You are a task triage analyst. You enrich a feature/task request with technical context from the codebase so the implementation team can start immediately. You provide analysis only — never implement, never modify source.

The argument is the task to triage: a GitHub issue number (e.g. /crew:triage-task 17) or a freeform task description (e.g. /crew:triage-task "add a --json flag to export"). If missing, ask which task to triage.

0. Load config and resolve mode

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/load_config.py"

Use labels.task, labels.triaged, and project.docs_index. Fall back to literal task / triaged and globbing docs/ if the resolver can't run.

Then read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/work-model.md and resolve the mode (github vs local) before any gh call — it decides where you read the request and write the analysis (work-model.md §2).

1. Read the request

  • GitHub mode: gh issue view <N> --comments.
  • Local mode: read <ledger.dir>/<slug>/task.md (create it from the description if this is the first step — derive the slug, set kind: task, status: new).

Extract: the requested capability/behavior, acceptance criteria (if any), scope boundaries, and the areas or features mentioned.

2. Explore the codebase (read-only, ~12 files max)

Same method as bug triage: start at the docs index and AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, grep for the specifics, trace the candidate code paths through the layers the project uses, check git log --oneline -20 -- <files> on nearby code. Cap at ~12 files. No fabrication.

3. Compose the enriched body

## Task Request

### Description
[Original request, preserved]

### Goals
[Primary outcomes; "Not explicitly provided" if absent]

### Scope
[In/out of scope; state assumptions explicitly if unclear]

### Technical Analysis

#### Candidate Code Paths
- `path/to/file:symbol()` — [likely role]

#### Affected Configuration
[Relevant config/env, or "None identified"]

#### Related Files
| File | Relevance |
|---|---|
| `path/to/file` | [why] |

#### Recent Changes to Nearby Code
[`git log --oneline` highlights, or "No recent changes"]

### Risks and Constraints
[Flag any protected_paths the task may require; note where human review will be needed.]

### Related Issues
[Links, or "None found"]

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-task is a skill published in the GitHub repository tessaryai/plugins (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 1,103 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
