What problem does it solve? Maintainers drown in unlabeled issues and half-specified feature requests, and AFK coding agents receive vague instructions that produce poor results. This Skill structures issue and PR evaluation into a repeatable state machine so every item ends up categorized, verified, and either actionable or explicitly closed. ## Core Features & Use Cases - State machine triage: Applies one category role (bug/enhancement) and one state role (needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, wontfix) to every issue and external PR. - Verification and grilling: Reproduces reported bugs, checks out PR diffs to confirm claims, and runs structured questioning rounds before writing specifications. - Agent brief generation: Produces durable, behavior-focused agent briefs with acceptance criteria and explicit out-of-scope boundaries for autonomous agents. - Out-of-scope knowledge base: Records rejected feature requests in .out-of-scope/ files and surfaces prior rejections when similar requests reappear. - Use Case: A maintainer runs triage on Monday morning, sees three buckets of items needing attention, verifies a reported bug, grills an ambiguous feature request into shape, and posts an agent brief so an AFK agent can implement it. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show everything on the issue tracker that needs triage attention, or name a specific issue or PR number to evaluate.
