What problem does it solve? Maintainers of open-source or team projects face a constant stream of unlabeled issues and external pull requests that need evaluation, categorization, and routing. This Skill automates the triage workflow by moving issues and PRs through a defined state machine, verifying claims against the codebase, and producing durable agent-ready briefs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - State machine triage: Route issues and external PRs through category roles (bug, enhancement) and state roles (needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, wontfix) with conflict detection. - Claim verification and grilling: Reproduce reported bugs, check out PR diffs to confirm they work, and run structured questioning rounds to flesh out underspecified requests. - Agent brief generation: Write durable, behavioral agent briefs with acceptance criteria and scope boundaries, plus maintain an .out-of-scope/ knowledge base for rejected feature requests. - Use Case: A maintainer asks "Show me anything that needs my attention" and receives three buckets (unlabeled, needs-triage, needs-info with new reporter activity), then picks issue #42, gets a category and state recommendation backed by codebase checks, and moves it to ready-for-agent with a posted brief. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to triage issue #42 by gathering its context, verifying the claim against the codebase, and recommending a category and state.
