SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Returning to a repository after time away means facing a pile of new, changed, and commented issues with no clear sense of what matters. This Skill performs a fast interactive triage sweep so you know what exists, what moved, and what burns — without reading every issue in full. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Incremental Sweep: Uses the GitHub CLI (gh) to list issues updated since the last check, classifying each as new or changed, with a rolling state document (<repo>/.reviews/triage/issues.md) so every run picks up where the previous one left off. - Issue-by-Issue Cycle: Presents each issue in under 10 lines — what it says, what changed, and a proposed urgency (alta/media/bassa) — then offers a closed action menu: tag on GitHub with real repo labels, mark for deep dive, add a note, skip, or stop. - Strict Boundaries: Proposes urgency but never decides it; applies only labels the user picks from the repo's actual label list; never assigns, closes, or comments on issues. - Use Case: After two weeks away from a project, ask for a triage run to get a sorted queue of the 12 issues that changed, tag three as bugs, and mark two for a deep-dive review later. ## Quick Start Triage the open issues in this repository that changed since my last check and walk me through them one by one.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage GitHub issues after time away from a repo?▼

Run an incremental sweep with gh issue list filtered by updated date, then walk each issue with a short summary, what changed, and a proposed urgency. A rolling state file records the last-check timestamp so each run only surfaces new activity.

How to label GitHub issues from the command line?▼

Fetch the repository's real labels with gh label list, let the user pick from that menu, then apply with gh issue edit N --add-label <label>. Only labels the user explicitly selects are applied, and the exact command is shown as it runs.

Can this triage skill assign, close, or comment on issues?▼

No. Assigning, closing, and commenting are explicitly out of scope. The skill only reads issue content, proposes urgency, applies user-selected labels, and records notes or deep-dive marks in its state document.

What happens to issues marked for deep dive during triage?▼

Marked issues are added to a Needs deep dive list in the state document with a one-line reason. They become input for follow-up document-level review skills such as plan-walkthrough when the list is walked later.

Why does issue triage need a state file with a last-check timestamp?▼

The timestamp records the start of the previous sweep so the next run only queries issues updated since then. Without it, runs would either re-show everything or miss activity that landed while a triage session was in progress.
