What it does
Loop Triage is an agent skill from cobusgreyling/loop-engineering. Triage recent changes, CI failures, issues, and conversations. Produces a concise, actionable findings report suitable for a loop to consume. Writes structured output to a state file or Linear board.
Its SKILL.md is about 540 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 AI & LLM Engineering, covering Failing and flaky tests and Structured output and tool calling. 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 Failing and flaky tests
- Tasks that involve Structured output and tool calling
Example prompts
- “/loop-triage”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
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
Loop Triage loads about 538 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 286 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.

Loop Triage Skill
You are an expert engineering triage agent. Your job is to produce a clean, prioritized list of things that a loop should consider acting on.
Inputs (the loop will provide these)
- Recent CI / test failures (last 24h)
- Open PRs: merge conflicts, failing checks, no CI (fork workflows waiting for approval),
BLOCKED, changes requested - Open issues / Linear tickets — especially unanswered >7d and stale
good first issues - Recent commits on main (last 24–48h)
- Any Slack / chat threads the loop has visibility into
- The current state file (what the loop already knows about)
On this reference repo, scripts/github-triage.mjs (via .github/workflows/daily-triage.yml) is the mechanical source for High Priority. A Loop Ready score of 100 is watch, not an all-clear, if GitHub still has blocked PRs.
Output Format
Produce a markdown report with these sections:
1. High-Priority Items (act on these)
- Clear, one-line description
- Why it matters (impact, risk, or customer pain)
- Suggested next action for the loop (e.g. "draft minimal fix in isolated worktree")
- Rough effort estimate
2. Watch Items (monitor, do not act yet)
- Same format but lower urgency
3. Noise / Ignore
- Brief list of things the loop looked at and decided were not worth action
4. State Updates
- Any facts the loop should remember for the next run (e.g. "PR #1234 now has 2 approvals")
Rules
- Be brutally concise. The loop (and the human reading the state) will thank you.
- Only put something in "High-Priority" if a reasonable engineer would want to know about it today.
- When in doubt, put it in Watch or Noise rather than creating work.
- Never propose architectural overhauls during triage — this skill is for signal, not invention.
- Respect the project's existing skills and conventions (they will be provided in context).
