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 a category, a state, and a clear next step — including durable briefs that autonomous agents can execute against. ## 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 roles (bug/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 delegation 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, in-progress, and needs-info items with new reporter activity — then picks #42, verifies the bug, and moves it to ready-for-agent with a complete brief. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to triage issue #42 on the repository's issue tracker and recommend a category and state.
