What problem does it solve?

This skill guides maintainers and teams through a structured triage process, translating ambiguous issue discussions into a clear, state-driven workflow that keeps issues moving toward resolution.

Core Features & Use Cases

Defines canonical roles (category: bug or enhancement) and state transitions (needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, wontfix) to standardize triage.
Reads issue bodies, comments, and labels to surface relevant context and surface prior decisions from the out-of-scope knowledge base.
Provides templates and guidance to post agent briefs when issues are ready for automation or human handoff.

Quick Start

To start triaging, invoke the /triage command and follow the prompts to classify an issue, gather context, and determine its next state.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate GitHub issue triage with a structured workflow?▼

Automate GitHub issue triage by applying a state-machine driven workflow that classifies and routes issues. The skill reads issue bodies, comments, and labels to enforce one category and one state per item, keeping issues moving toward resolution.

What is a state-machine driven workflow for classifying bug triage and feature requests?▼

A state-machine driven workflow for triage defines canonical roles like bug or enhancement and enforces state transitions such as needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, and wontfix to standardize issue classification and routing.

How do I generate agent briefs for automated issue resolution?▼

Generate agent briefs for automated issue resolution by triaging issues into the ready-for-agent state. The skill provides templates and guidance to post briefs when issues are prepared for automation or human handoff.

Can I surface prior out-of-scope decisions during GitHub issue triage?▼

Surface prior out-of-scope decisions during triage by querying the out-of-scope knowledge base. The skill reads this knowledge base alongside issue context to prevent revisiting previously declined issues and maintain workflow consistency.

What's the best way to standardize issue states across a bug triage process?▼

Standardize issue states across a bug triage process by enforcing a state-machine workflow with canonical transitions. The skill limits each triaged item to one category and one state, ensuring consistent routing from needs-triage through to wontfix.
