What it does

Autopilot PR Triage Scheduler is an agent skill from microsoft/apm, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Queue open microsoft/apm pull requests (community fixes, PRs without an issue, or PRs that close an issue) and fan them out through an isolated pool (default 2) of autopilot-pr-triage-worker sessions. Advisory only. Never merges, never assigns, never requests reviewers, never runs autopilot-pr-review-worker. Activate on a mixed PR list or queue-open when the job is PR triage. Works in a local session, Copilot App automation, Cloud Agent, Remote Agent, or Agentic Workflow.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and assets (for example `assets/fan-out-pool.md`, `assets/label-contract.json` and `scripts/fetch_queue.py`).

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests, App automation through connectors and Monitoring and alerting. The repository describes itself as: Agent Package Manager. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests
  • Tasks that involve App automation through connectors
  • Tasks that involve Monitoring and alerting

Example prompts

  • “/autopilot-pr-triage-scheduler”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Probe scripts/fetch_queue.py, scripts/triage_state.py, and
  2. Build the queue with the helpers. Emit the mandatory queue
  3. Drain the selected list. Concurrent slots <= FANOUT_LIMIT.
  4. Print a final report from the table.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 280b8a7. 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

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • 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

Autopilot PR Triage Scheduler loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 127 tokens; SKILL.md has 734 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~127
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

autopilot-pr-triage-scheduler

User-facing PR TRIAGE queue. This skill SELECTS pull requests and THROTTLES fan-out. It classifies incoming PRs. It does not review diffs, does not implement issues, and does not drive PRs to merge.

Compose autopilot-pr-triage-worker one PR per slot. Never borrow slots from autopilot-issue-triage-scheduler, autopilot-issue-delivery-scheduler, or autopilot-pr-review-scheduler.

Activation card

activation_card: on. Before any queue read or spawn, emit this Enter card with every field filled. Missing field -> stop.

text
skill: autopilot-pr-triage-scheduler
skill_path: <resolved directory of this SKILL.md>
mode: run
subject: microsoft/apm
path: triage
intent: select PRs and fan out triage workers
origin: unattended | actor-session
write: off
repo: microsoft/apm
fanout_limit: <positive integer>
invocation: agentic-workflow | actor-session

Rules:

  • write is always off. This scheduler never comments, labels, assigns, or requests reviewers.
  • write: on -> stop.
  • origin fail-closed unknown -> unattended.
  • invocation is the harness. Copilot App, local session, Cloud Agent, and Remote Agent are actor-session. agentic-workflow is only gh-aw / GitHub Actions. Do not copy origin into invocation.
  • One queue. Do not nest another scheduler path.

After the run, emit this Exit receipt:

text
skill: autopilot-pr-triage-scheduler
subject: microsoft/apm
path: triage
write: off
queued: <integer>
spawned: <integer>
approved: n/a

Invocation

Works in local sessions, Copilot App automations, Cloud Agent, Remote Agent, and Agentic Workflows.

Resolve ORIGIN before any GitHub write. No assignment needed. This scheduler and its slots never assign and never request reviewers, in any ORIGIN.

INTENT is triage.

Ownership writes:

  • Issue triage: none (no assignment needed)
  • PR triage: none (no assignment needed)
  • Code (accepted implementation): assign the implementing user
  • PR review: request the reviewing user as reviewer, never assignee

Selection (same helper as issue triage)

Canonical owner: this skill's scripts/fetch_queue.py, scripts/triage_state.py, plus assets/label-contract.json. Byte-identical to the issue-triage scheduler copy. Do not invent a second filter. The worker does not list the queue. --kind pr uses the same issue-shaped schema (number is the PR number).

Modes:

  • Named list or one PR number: explicit request.
  • queue-open / no names: sweep.

fetch_queue.py owns list + eligibility (closed, merged, locked, empty, template-only; sweep-only draft and spam). Bot-authored issues and PRs stay eligible. Sweep list excludes processing.read_reviewed (triage/recommended, status/triaged) at GitHub so already-advised open PRs are not downloaded. Do not comment on skips. triage_state.py owns completed-advice skip, at most two per author, oldest first, cap 10. Explicit requests bypass only spam and completed-advice.

A missing linked issue is not a skip. Community PRs without an issue are in-scope; the worker advises whether an issue should have existed.

python <this-skill>/scripts/fetch_queue.py --kind pr --mode sweep --repo microsoft/apm > batch.json
python <this-skill>/scripts/triage_state.py < batch.json

Named PR: --mode dispatch --number N. If gh is unavailable, pass --records-json and --labels-json. A helper failure stops the run.

Do not merge. Do not push. Do not fill issue-triage, delivery, or PR-review slots from this pool. Do not comment on PRs. Do not add or remove labels. add_labels from triage_state.py is a plan for the worker, not a scheduler write.

Queue table (mandatory)

Before any spawn, emit the keep-set and the drop-set in plan.md and in the session report. Missing table, missing column, or blank rationale -> stop. Do not spawn.

Keep-set (items this run will schedule). One row per item. Do not truncate to FANOUT_LIMIT:

| number | kind | labels | rationale | slot |

Drop-set (considered, then not scheduled). slot is -:

| number | kind | labels | rationale | slot |

  • kind: issue or pr
  • labels: current GitHub labels, comma-separated; none if empty
  • rationale: why queued or dropped (helper rule and labels)
  • slot: 1-based spawn order, or - when dropped

Empty keep-set is success. Still emit the drop-set, or none. Completed-advice excluded at fetch is not a drop-set row. You are the sole table writer. Put linked-issue facts in rationale.

Fan-out

Load assets/fan-out-pool.md. Default FANOUT_LIMIT=2 concurrent slots. Isolated to this run. FANOUT_LIMIT is concurrency, not queue length. Drain the full selected list; when a slot returns, fill it with the next item.

Procedure

  1. Probe scripts/fetch_queue.py, scripts/triage_state.py, and the worker skill on disk. Missing -> stop.
  2. Build the queue with the helpers. Emit the mandatory queue table (labels + rationale) before any spawn.
  3. Drain the selected list. Concurrent slots <= FANOUT_LIMIT. One PR per slot. Prefer a new session, else a sub-agent, else run the worker in this thread for that one PR, then the next. When a slot returns, dispatch the next queued PR. Do not stop because the pool was full. Each slot reads the complete PR conversation (and linked issue, if any) before advising. Pass debug: off unless this run's caller set debug: on. Pass comment_via: autopilot-comment. Worker kickoff must load autopilot-comment before any GitHub comment. Workers must not call gh pr comment.
  4. Print a final report from the table.

Hard nos

  • Do not share this pool.
  • Do not dispatch the same PR to two slots.
  • Do not comment, label, close, merge, or assign. Workers own those writes even when summoned without this scheduler.
  • Do not run autopilot-pr-review-worker or autopilot-pr-merge-worker.
  • Do not contradict CODEOWNERS.
  • ASCII only.
