What it does

Triage is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Adversarial validation of vulnerability findings. Use when triaging security findings, validating vulnerabilities, or prioritizing remediation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Triaging security findings
  • Validating vulnerabilities
  • Prioritizing remediation

Example prompts

  • “/triage”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Load Inputs
  2. Adversarial Review
  3. Dependency Analysis
  4. Produce Output
  5. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e7b281. 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 (its code samples are json).

    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

Triage loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 486 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

Triage — Adversarial Vulnerability Validation

Iron Law

A vulnerability finding is not confirmed until an adversary would agree it's exploitable. Unvalidated findings are noise.

Process

Step 0: Load Inputs

Required inputs (in order of preference):

  1. VULN-FINDINGS.json from /vuln-scan
  2. Raw findings from /audit --security
  3. User-provided finding list

Optional:

  • THREAT_MODEL.md for threat scenario context
  • .harness/engagement.md for scope constraints

If no findings input exists, suggest: "Run /vuln-scan first to generate findings to triage."

Step 1: Adversarial Review

For each finding, challenge it from an attacker's perspective:

Exploitability Check
  1. Can input reach the vulnerable code? Trace the data flow from entry point to vulnerability.
  2. Can the attacker control the input? Distinguish between user-controlled vs. system-generated data.
  3. Is there a path to impact? Connecting the vulnerability to a security consequence (data leak, code exec, DoS).
  4. Are there bypasses for existing mitigations? WAF, input validation, CSP — all have bypass techniques.

Classification
ClassMeaning
CONFIRMEDExploitable with demonstrated path
LIKELYExploitable with high confidence, minor gaps in proof
POSSIBLETheoretical, needs more investigation
FALSE_POSITIVENot exploitable with justification
ACCEPTED_RISKKnown, documented, accepted by team
Step 2: Dependency Analysis

Check if findings chain together:

  1. Find pairs where finding A enables finding B (e.g., IDOR → data exposure)
  2. Mark chains — chained findings are more severe than individual findings
  3. Identify root causes — multiple findings from the same root cause should be grouped
Step 3: Produce Output

Write TRIAGE.json:

{
  "triage_date": "ISO-8601",
  "source": "VULN-FINDINGS.json | audit | manual",
  "findings": [

      "action": "specific remediation step",
      "effort": "low"
    }
  ]
}
Step 4: Report

Present prioritized remediation plan:

## Triage Report

### Summary
- Input: N findings
- Confirmed: X | Likely: Y | False positives: Z
- Root cause groups: K (fix-once opportunities)
- Chained findings: C

### Priority Actions
1. [CRITICAL] V1: {description} — {effort} effort
   Fix: {remediation}
2. [HIGH] V2+V3 (chain): {description} — {effort} effort
   Fix: {remediation}

### Accepted Risks
- V7: {description} — {justification}

### Suggested Next Steps
- Fix priority 1-3 before merge
- Run `/vuln-scan` after fixes to verify

Anti-Rationalization

ExcuseRebuttalWhat to do instead
"All findings are real, no need to triage"False positives waste fix time and erode trust in the process.Validate every finding. Noise reduces signal.
"Triaging takes too long"Fixing false positives takes longer than triaging them.Triage first, fix only confirmed findings.
"It's obviously a vulnerability""Obvious" vulnerabilities are often mitigated by context you haven't checked.Trace the exploit path before confirming.
"We can just fix them all"Not all findings need fixing. Some are accepted risks.Prioritize by confirmed severity and effort.
"Chaining is theoretical"Real-world breaches use chained vulnerabilities.Check for chains — they change severity.

Evidence Required

  • Every finding classified (CONFIRMED/LIKELY/POSSIBLE/FALSE_POSITIVE/ACCEPTED_RISK)
  • Each CONFIRMED finding has a traced exploit path
  • Each FALSE_POSITIVE has justification for dismissal
  • Severity adjustments documented per finding
  • Root cause groups identified where applicable
  • Chained findings identified and combined severity assessed
  • TRIAGE.json written with action items
  • Priority actions ordered by severity × effort

Red Flags

  • All findings marked CONFIRMED without exploit paths
  • All findings marked FALSE_POSITIVE without justification
  • No severity adjustments — original severity is almost never perfect
  • Ignoring finding chains — individual severity ≠ chain severity
  • Skipping dependency analysis between findings
  • TRIAGE.json action items not ordered by priority
