What it does

Triage Issues is an agent skill from haacked/dotfiles. Identify unlabeled GitHub issues and external PRs that may belong to a specific team, and normalize conventional title scopes to the team's canonical short form. Only invoke when the user explicitly runs /triage-issues or asks to triage the team's GitHub issues.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k 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. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: My dotfiles and scripts I use on dev machines.

When your agent uses it

  • Explicitly runs /triage-issues
  • Asks to triage the teams GitHub issues

Example prompts

  • “/triage-issues”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Parse Arguments
  2. Fetch Issues
  3. Fetch PRs
  4. Detect Title Scope Renames
  5. Spawn Team-Specific Subagent
  6. Apply Labels and Renames, and Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d3508b6. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Triage Issues loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,565 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.9k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,565 words (~2,949 tokens).

“Identify unlabeled GitHub issues and external (community) pull requests that may belong to a specific team.”
