What it does

Autopilot PR Triage Worker is an agent skill from microsoft/apm, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use this skill to triage ONE microsoft/apm pull request already selected by autopilot-pr-triage-scheduler. Covers community PRs that fix an issue and PRs opened without an issue. Return one advisory recommendation, never human approval, never a diff review, never merge. Not a queue manager and not autopilot-pr-review-worker.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including assets (for example `assets/label-contract.json` and `assets/pr-triage-template.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests and Monitoring and alerting. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Agent Package Manager. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Triage ONE microsoft/apm pull request already selected by autopilot-pr-triage-scheduler
  • Tasks that involve Pull requests
  • Tasks that involve Monitoring and alerting

Example prompts

  • “/autopilot-pr-triage-worker”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm the PR is the single target. Missing number -> stop.
  2. Gather full context. Record whether this PR is labelled
  3. Fill assets/pr-triage-template.md.
  4. Neither this PR nor a linked same-repo issue is
  5. ready-for-review when this PR or a linked same-repo issue is
  6. Post only if the comment would change. Probe

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

    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

Autopilot PR Triage Worker loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 672 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

on

autopilot-pr-triage-worker

Advisory classification of ONE already-selected PR. Do not review the diff as autopilot-pr-review-worker does. Do not drive merge.

Activation card

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

text
skill: autopilot-pr-triage-worker
skill_path: <resolved directory of this SKILL.md>
mode: run
subject: microsoft/apm#<pr-number>
path: triage
intent: advise one already-selected PR
origin: unattended | actor-session
write: on | off
json: off | on
debug: off | on
repo: microsoft/apm
pr: <positive integer>
invocation: agentic-workflow | actor-session

Rules:

  • write defaults to on when the caller omitted it.
  • write: off returns the filled template only. Do not comment, add labels, or remove labels.
  • write: on posts one GitHub comment via autopilot-comment and processing / classification labels. Never assign. Never request reviewers. Do not call gh pr comment yourself. Do not write status/accepted, status/needs-design, or status/needs-triage. Write status/deferred only when this PR is not labelled status/accepted and has no same-repo linked issue labelled status/accepted.
  • json defaults to off when omitted or unknown. Omitted json is not a missing-field stop.
  • json: off -> no machine JSON receipt.
  • json: on -> fill JSON only as an internal payload (session file or parent Exit). Never post it on GitHub.
  • debug defaults to off when omitted or unknown. Omitted debug is not a missing-field stop.
  • debug: off -> pass public_body as the Suggested PR comment (unwrap the markdown fence) to autopilot-comment. Do not pass recommendation, linked issue, classification, or next action headings as public_body.
  • debug: on -> pass debug_body as the filled template without a JSON fence. autopilot-comment prefixes [i] Skill debug is on.
  • Load autopilot-comment before any GitHub comment write. source_skill: autopilot-pr-triage-worker. Missing card -> stop.
  • origin fail-closed unknown -> unattended.
  • One PR. Do not nest a scheduler path.

After the run, emit this Exit receipt:

text
skill: autopilot-pr-triage-worker
subject: microsoft/apm#<pr-number>
path: triage
write: on | off
json: off | on
debug: off | on
posted: yes | no
labels_applied: <comma list or none>
approved: n/a

Read assets/label-contract.json (same contract as issue triage) before reasoning. Do not invent a second marker.

Origin and writes

No assignment needed. Never request reviewers. Unattended and actor-session are equally read-only for ownership.

This worker owns those writes even when summoned without a scheduler. The scheduler must not comment or label.

Allowed writes: one advisory comment plus processing / optional classification labels from the contract. Never write status/accepted, status/needs-design, or status/needs-triage.

Auto-defer: if this PR is not labelled status/accepted and has no same-repo linked issue labelled status/accepted, add status/deferred (write: on only). Do not overwrite status/accepted already on the PR. Linked means Fixes / Closes / #N in the body or commits, or GitHub closingIssuesReferences, same repository. Any one accepted linked issue or status/accepted on the PR blocks auto-defer.

CODEOWNERS reviewRequests is runtime authority. Note owners in the comment. Never add or remove review requests.

Context (mandatory)

Before advising, paginate the complete PR conversation, reviews, and review comments. If the body or commits reference Fixes / Closes / #N, read that issue's complete conversation too. No fresh advisory without that context.

If a prior triage comment's watermark still matches HEAD conversation, no-op (do not post a duplicate).

Procedure

  1. Confirm the PR is the single target. Missing number -> stop.
  2. Gather full context. Record whether this PR is labelled status/accepted, and linked same-repo issues and whether any carries status/accepted.
  3. Fill assets/pr-triage-template.md. Recommendation is one of: ready-for-review | needs-design | needs-issue | duplicate-of | decline-with-reason | auto-handle.
  4. Neither this PR nor a linked same-repo issue is status/accepted -> recommend needs-issue, add status/deferred when write: on, and thank the author. Invite them to open an issue for maintainer review and acceptance first, per CONTRIBUTING.md ("Start with an issue, not an implementation."). Link https://github.com/microsoft/apm/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
  5. ready-for-review when this PR or a linked same-repo issue is status/accepted. It is not merge approval and is not a request to run autopilot-pr-review-scheduler.
  6. Post only if the comment would change. Probe $REPO_ROOT/.agents/skills/autopilot-comment/SKILL.md (or the sibling package). Missing -> stop. Do not post. Activate autopilot-comment (source_skill: autopilot-pr-triage-worker). Do not call gh pr comment yourself. debug: off: Suggested PR comment body as public_body (not the filled template). debug: on: filled template as debug_body. Missing footer after that write is a failed post -- patch via autopilot-comment (intent: patch). Add the contract processing marker. Do not remove status/needs-triage.

Hard nos

  • Do not merge, push, assign, or request reviewers.
  • Do not run autopilot-pr-review-worker or autopilot-pr-merge-worker.
  • Do not contradict CODEOWNERS.
  • Do not treat labels or this comment as status/accepted.
  • Do not write status/deferred when a linked issue is status/accepted or the PR already has status/accepted.
  • ASCII only.
