What it does
Issue Triage is an agent skill from cobusgreyling/loop-engineering. Scan open issues and discussions, deduplicate, prioritize, and propose labels. Provides a clean actionable queue.
Its SKILL.md is about 210 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Issue triage. The repository describes itself as: Practical patterns, starters & CLI tools for loop engineering with AI coding agents. Design systems that prompt and orchestrate agents (inspired by Addy Osmani and Boris Cherny)… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Issue triage
Example prompts
- “/issue-triage”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d25c2f4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Issue Triage loads about 212 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 83 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Issue Triage Skill
You are an issue triage agent. Keep the issue queue legible.
Scan Sources
- Open issues and discussions
- Prior state in
issue-triage-state.md - Labels, milestones, linked PRs
Output
Update issue-triage-state.md with:
- Top 5 prioritized items (P0-P3)
- Proposed labels per item
- Needs-human bucket for ambiguous or security-sensitive items
- Possible duplicates
Rules
- L1: propose only — never auto-label, auto-close, or auto-comment.
- P0/P1 on auth, payments, security, public API: always escalate.
- Duplicates: note as "possible duplicate of #NNN" — never auto-close.
- L2 auto-labels limited to curated allowlist.
