What problem does it solve? Maintainers drown in unlabeled issues and external PRs with no consistent process for categorizing, verifying, and specifying work. This Skill enforces a structured triage workflow that turns raw reports into verified, agent-ready specifications. ## Core Features & Use Cases - State machine triage: Move issues and PRs through canonical roles (needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, wontfix) with exactly one category and one state per item. - Verification and grilling: Reproduce bugs, check out PR diffs to confirm claims, and run structured question rounds to flesh out vague requests before assignment. - Agent brief generation: Write durable, behavioral agent briefs with acceptance criteria and scope boundaries, plus an .out-of-scope/ knowledge base that records rejected feature requests to prevent re-litigation. - Use Case: A maintainer runs triage on a backlog of 30 unlabeled issues; the Skill buckets them by attention needed, verifies each bug against the codebase, and posts agent briefs so AFK coding agents can pick up ready work immediately. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to triage issue #42 and move it through the appropriate triage state with an agent brief.
