issue-triage

issue-triage is a skill for Claude Code from testdouble/han. It costs 106 tokens per session (2,377 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An issue-triage skill that turns a vague bug or problem report into a structured summary of known facts, missing information, and next steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify incoming issues, estimate what is known, identify what the reporter should add, and choose the next investigation step.
Why use it?
It prevents investigation from starting with unclear scope, incomplete evidence, or unsupported assumptions.

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

issue-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 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 — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Context

  • CLAUDE.md: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name "CLAUDE.md" -type f
  • project-discovery.md: !find . -maxdepth 3 -name "project-discovery.md" -type f
  • personal config directory: !bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/han-config-dir.sh" 2>/dev/null || echo "$HOME/.claude"
  • project .han/config.md: !cat .han/config.md 2>/dev/null || echo ""

As your first action, use the Read tool on .han/config.md inside the personal config directory path above. A read that returns no file is no personal configuration: continue silently. When that file or the project .han/config.md probe supplies content, apply it per config-rule.md, which governs precedence between the two files, relative-path resolution, and what to do with a file that reads but cannot be used.

Triage Approach

  • Work only from what the reporter wrote. Do not infer facts that are not stated. This is the single most important constraint in this skill.
  • Classify the issue type before doing anything else. The type drives what counts as missing information.
  • Severity and reproducibility are estimates based on what is known. For a Bug, Regression, Performance, or Security issue, mark them Unknown when not inferable. For a Feature Request, Question, or Other issue, omit them entirely when they are not inferable (see Step 4) rather than rendering Unknown.
  • The recommended next step is the single most appropriate han skill (or "clarify with reporter") to run after triage completes.
  • Project context (CLAUDE.md, project-discovery.md) is read only to identify Suspected Areas. Never use it to supply information the reporter omitted.
  • Source the standard by invoking han-communication:readability-guidance and apply it as you write the triage document. Hold its default audience frame: a capable reader who did not do this work and lacks the author's context.

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.
