triage

Invoke the triage command and describe what you want in natural language, such as showing issues needing attention or examining a specific issue number. The assistant reads the full issue, verifies claims against the codebase, and recommends a category and state.

An agent brief is a structured comment posted when an issue moves to ready-for-agent. It describes current and desired behavior, key interfaces, testable acceptance criteria, and explicit out-of-scope boundaries, avoiding file paths and line numbers that go stale.

Rejected enhancements are recorded as concept files in .farseer/out-of-scope/ with the decision, reasoning, and prior issue links. During triage, new issues are matched against these files by concept similarity so prior rejections surface instead of being re-litigated.

Yes, a maintainer can say something like move issue 42 to ready-for-agent and the role is applied directly after confirmation. The interview step is skipped, though you will be asked whether to write an agent brief.

Use ready-for-human when the work requires judgment calls, external access, design decisions, or manual testing that an autonomous agent cannot perform. The brief follows the same structure but notes why delegation is not possible.
