What problem does it solve? Maintainers of open source projects face a constant stream of unlabeled issues and external pull requests that need categorization, verification, and clear specification before work can begin. This Skill automates that triage workflow, turning raw reports into actionable, agent-ready briefs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - State machine triage: Move issues and PRs through category roles (bug, enhancement) and state roles (needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, wontfix) with consistent labeling. - Verification and grilling: Reproduce reported bugs, validate PR diffs against their claims, and ask reporters targeted questions until requests are fully specified. - Agent brief generation: Write durable, behavior-focused agent briefs with acceptance criteria so AFK agents can implement changes without further human input. - Out-of-scope knowledge base: Record rejected feature requests in .out-of-scope/ files and deduplicate incoming issues against prior rejections. - Use Case: A maintainer runs triage on a backlog of 30 unlabeled issues; the Skill buckets them by attention needed, verifies each bug against the codebase, and posts agent briefs on the ones ready for implementation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show you anything on the issue tracker that needs attention, or name a specific issue number to triage it end to end.
