SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps maintainers manage issue queues consistently by classifying reports, choosing the correct workflow state, and drafting the right follow-up action for each issue.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Issue Classification: Distinguishes bugs from enhancements and ensures each issue carries exactly one category role and one state role.
  • Workflow Routing: Moves issues through needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, and wontfix based on context and maintainer direction.
  • Agent Preparation: Writes durable agent briefs for work that can be delegated, including clear acceptance criteria and scope boundaries.
  • Triage Memory: Uses out-of-scope knowledge records to recognize repeated enhancement requests and preserve prior rejection rationale.
  • Example Use Case: A maintainer asks for help on a new bug report, and the Skill reviews context, recommends the next state, and prepares the comment that should be posted.

Quick Start

Ask the triage skill to review an issue, recommend the correct label state, and draft the next maintainer-facing comment.
