What problem does it solve? Maintainers drown in untriaged issues and external PRs: unclear bug reports, duplicate feature requests, and half-specified work that agents or contributors cannot pick up. This Skill runs a structured triage workflow that categorizes, verifies, and converts raw issues into actionable, agent-ready briefs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - State machine triage: Move issues and external PRs through canonical roles (needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, wontfix) with category labels (bug, enhancement). - Verification and grilling: Reproduce reported bugs, check out PR diffs to confirm claims, and run structured questioning rounds to flesh out vague requests before assigning work. - Agent brief generation: Write durable, behavior-focused agent briefs with acceptance criteria and explicit scope boundaries, following the AGENT-BRIEF.md reference. - Out-of-scope knowledge base: Record rejected feature requests in .out-of-scope/ files and surface prior rejections when similar requests reappear. - Use Case: A maintainer says "Let's look at #42". The Skill reads the issue, checks the codebase for existing implementations and prior rejections, verifies the claim, grills the reporter if details are missing, then posts an agent brief and moves the issue to ready-for-agent. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to triage issue #42 on the repository's issue tracker and move it to the appropriate state.
