What problem does it solve? Maintainers drown in unlabeled issues and external PRs with no consistent process for categorizing, verifying, and routing work. This Skill enforces a structured triage state machine so every issue gets exactly one category and one state, with durable agent briefs for delegable work. ## Core Features & Use Cases - State machine triage: Routes issues and PRs through needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, and wontfix states with category labels (bug or enhancement). - Verification and grilling: Reproduces reported bugs, checks out PR diffs to confirm claims, and runs structured questioning to flesh out vague requests before routing. - Agent briefs and out-of-scope memory: Writes durable, behavior-focused agent briefs for delegable work and maintains a .out-of-scope/ knowledge base to deduplicate rejected feature requests. - Use Case: A maintainer says "Show me anything that needs my attention" and gets three buckets — unlabeled, needs-triage, and needs-info with new reporter activity — then picks #42, verifies the bug, and posts an agent brief moving it to ready-for-agent. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to triage issue #42 on the repository's issue tracker and recommend a category and state.
