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 defined state machine, verification steps, and durable agent briefs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - State machine triage: Categorize issues and external PRs as bug or enhancement, then move them through needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, or wontfix states. - Verification and grilling: Reproduce reported bugs, check out PR diffs to confirm claims, and run structured questioning rounds to flesh out vague requests before assignment. - Agent brief generation: Write durable, behavior-focused agent briefs with acceptance criteria and scope boundaries that survive codebase changes. - 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 runs triage on a backlog of 20 unlabeled issues; the Skill buckets them by attention needed, verifies each claim against the codebase, and produces ready-for-agent briefs an AFK agent can execute without further clarification. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show everything on the issue tracker that needs triage attention, or name a specific issue number to evaluate and move through the triage states.
