What problem does it solve? Maintainers drown in unlabeled issues and external PRs with no consistent process for categorizing, verifying, and routing them. This Skill enforces a structured triage state machine so every issue gets a category, a state, and either an actionable brief or a clear closure. ## Core Features & Use Cases - State machine triage: Move issues and PRs through needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, and wontfix states with category roles (bug / enhancement). - Verification and grilling: Reproduce reported bugs, check out PR diffs to confirm claims, and run grilling sessions to flesh out vague requests before routing them. - Agent briefs and out-of-scope tracking: Write durable, behavior-focused agent briefs for delegation, and maintain a .out-of-scope/ knowledge base that deduplicates rejected feature requests. - Use Case: A maintainer runs triage on a backlog of 30 unlabeled GitHub issues; the Skill buckets them, verifies each claim against the codebase, and produces agent-ready briefs for the ones worth building. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show everything on the issue tracker that needs triage attention, then pick an issue to evaluate.
