What problem does it solve? Maintainers lose time manually evaluating incoming issues and PRs, deciding what is actionable, and writing specifications detailed enough for autonomous agents to execute. This Skill standardizes that workflow with a consistent state machine and durable brief format. ## Core Features & Use Cases - State machine triage: Apply category roles (bug, enhancement) and state roles (needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, wontfix) to issues and external PRs. - Verification and grilling: Reproduce reported bugs, validate PR diffs, and ask structured clarifying questions before committing to a state. - Agent brief generation: Write durable, behavior-focused agent briefs with acceptance criteria that survive codebase changes. - Out-of-scope knowledge base: Record rejected feature requests in .out-of-scope/ files and deduplicate future requests against them. - Use Case: A maintainer runs triage on a backlog of 20 unlabeled issues; the Skill buckets them, verifies each claim against the codebase, and produces ready-for-agent briefs for the actionable ones. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show everything on the issue tracker that needs triage attention, or to triage a specific issue number.
