SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill computes a numeric priority score from severity, impact, and likelihood to help triage bugs and tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scoring matrix: Applies predefined scores for severity, impact, and likelihood.
  • Category mapping: Converts scores into P0–P4 priority categories with actionable guidance.
  • Decision support: Guides sprint planning and backlog prioritization.

Quick Start

Input severity=critical, impact=breaking, likelihood=certain to get a P0 outcome.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize bugs and issues using a scoring system?

Priority scoring assigns numeric values based on severity, impact, and likelihood to rank bugs systematically. This Skill calculates a total score from these factors, maps it to priority categories P0–P4, and returns actionable guidance for triage and sprint planning decisions.

What's the difference between severity, impact, and likelihood in risk assessment?

Severity measures how critical a bug is; impact describes the scope of damage it causes; likelihood estimates probability of occurrence. Together they form a risk matrix that this Skill uses to compute an overall priority score for informed decision-making.

How do I use priority scoring for security vulnerability assessment?

Security vulnerability risk assessment applies the same scoring logic: severity (exploit difficulty), impact (data or system damage), and likelihood (attack probability) combine into a priority score that guides patching order and resource allocation.

Can I automate task ordering in my backlog with priority scores?

Yes. By feeding task attributes—severity, impact, likelihood—into the scoring matrix, you generate consistent priority categories that automatically order work, enabling data-driven sprint planning and resource allocation across your backlog.

What input validation does the scoring system perform?

The Skill accepts issue attributes, validates input against the scoring matrix definitions, and returns structured results with the calculated score, priority category, and recommendation alongside error handling for malformed data.
