About this skill

Triage Issue is a skill in mastra-ai/mastra (29k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens. Licence: Custom licence.

Workflow steps

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

Resolve input
Gather context
Classify and route
Draft/post the comment
Apply labels and stop

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b98829a. 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
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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 Issue loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 13 tokens; SKILL.md has 854 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~13
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.3k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 854 words (~2,294 tokens).

“Use this skill for first-contact intake on one GitHub issue. Gather enough context to classify the issue, choose the next route, post or update one concise issue comment, apply the minimal triage labels, and stop.”
