What it is
triage is an issue-handling skill. Its SKILL.md frames triage as a state machine with roles, issue review, next actions, and preparation for an AFK coding agent.
Why it is useful
Agents can waste time by jumping from a vague issue directly into code. This skill creates a pause for classification, missing context, ownership, and handoff quality.
Best uses
- Sort bug reports and feature requests before implementation.
- Turn rough issues into agent-ready tasks.
- Review an issue tracker and decide what needs clarification.
Notes
Use this before implementation skills such as TDD or diagnose. It is most useful when the project already uses issues as the planning surface.
