What it does

Triaging Issues is an agent skill from microsoft-foundry/foundry-agent-webapp. Provides issue triage workflow, priority definitions, and report format. Use when analyzing GitHub issues and PRs, assessing priority, or generating triage reports.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 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: GitHub Copilot enabled repo for building and deploying a web application with Entra ID authentication and integrated with Azure AI Foundry Agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Analyzing GitHub issues and PRs
  • Assessing priority
  • Generating triage reports

Example prompts

  • “Use the triaging-issues skill to provide issue triage workflow, priority definitions, and report format”
  • “/triaging-issues”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Use gh issue list --search "" with key terms from the issue title and body.
  2. Check closed issues too: gh issue list --state closed --search "".
  3. If a duplicate exists, note it in the triage report with a cross-reference.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f6cb362. 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

Triaging Issues loads about 670 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 251 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~670

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 Guidance

Gather open issues and PRs, analyze them, and recommend next steps. Search the codebase to identify affected components — don't rely on hardcoded file mappings.

Priority Definitions

PriorityCriteria
🔴 CriticalProduction broken, security issue, data loss
🟠 HighMajor feature broken, blocking users
🟡 MediumFeature degraded, workaround exists
🟢 LowMinor issue, cosmetic, nice-to-have

Complexity Scale

SizeEstimate

M1-2 days
L3-5 days

  • Priority / Type / Complexity

gh CLI Commands for Read-Only Analysis

bash
# List open issues
gh issue list --state open

# Search for potential duplicates
gh issue list --search "keyword"

# View issue details
gh issue view <number>

# List open PRs
gh pr list --state open

# View PR details and diff
gh pr view <number>
gh pr diff <number>

Duplicate Detection

Before deep-diving into an issue, search for duplicates:

  1. Use gh issue list --search "<keywords>" with key terms from the issue title and body.
  2. Check closed issues too: gh issue list --state closed --search "<keywords>".
  3. If a duplicate exists, note it in the triage report with a cross-reference.

Constraints

  • ❌ Read-only — do NOT modify issues or PRs
  • ❌ No gh issue edit, gh issue close, gh issue label
  • ❌ No gh pr merge, gh pr close, gh pr review --approve
  • ✅ Only use read commands: list, view, search, diff
