What it does

Issue Triage Live is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Triage the user's REAL issue tracker — read open issues via the GitHub/Linear connector, label / prioritise / dedupe / flag them, and apply the safe changes — not advice on triage. Use when asked to triage my issues, clean up the backlog, label and prioritise open issues, or sort my GitHub issues in Cowork. Reads open issues via the connector, classifies by type / severity / duplicate, applies labels and priorities, and produces a triage-report artifact with the applied changes and the ones needing a human call.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to triage my issues
  • Clean up the backlog
  • Label and prioritise open issues
  • Sort my GitHub issues in Cowork

Example prompts

  • “/issue-triage-live”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Type it — bug / feature / question / duplicate / needs-info.
  2. Severity for bugs — blocking / major / minor, from impact and reproducibility.
  3. Priority — severity × reach × strategic pull → P0–P3.
  4. Dedupe — cluster near-identical issues; pick the canonical, link the rest.
  5. Needs-info — issues too thin to action get the label and a templated ask.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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.

    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

Issue Triage Live loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 472 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~134
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

description
Triage the user's REAL issue tracker — read open issues via the GitHub/Linear connector, label / prioritise / dedupe / flag them, and apply the safe changes — not advice on triage. Use when asked to triage my issues, clean up the backlog, label and prioritise open issues, or sort my GitHub issues in Cowork. Reads open issues via the connector, classifies by type / severity / duplicate, applies labels and priorities, and produces a triage-report artifact with the applied changes and the ones needing a human call.

Issue Triage (Live)

An untriaged backlog is a pile no one trusts. In Claude Cowork this skill reads the real open issues, classifies each, applies the safe labels and priorities in place, and hands back a report — turning a heap into a queue, while leaving the judgement calls to a human.

What This Skill Produces

  • The triaged backlog — each open issue typed (bug / feature / question / duplicate), severity-tagged, and prioritised
  • Applied changes — labels and priority set via the connector; duplicates linked to their canonical issue
  • A triage-report artifact — what was applied, the duplicate clusters, and the issues that need a human decision

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The repo/project — which GitHub repo or Linear team, and the filter (all open, untriaged only)
  • The label & priority scheme — existing labels and what P0–P3 mean here
  • Autonomy — apply labels/priority automatically, or preview first (default: apply labels, preview closes/merges)

Framework: The Triage Pass

  1. Type it — bug / feature / question / duplicate / needs-info.
  2. Severity for bugs — blocking / major / minor, from impact and reproducibility.
  3. Priority — severity × reach × strategic pull → P0–P3.
  4. Dedupe — cluster near-identical issues; pick the canonical, link the rest.
  5. Needs-info — issues too thin to action get the label and a templated ask.

Execution (Cowork)

  1. Read issues — via the GitHub/Linear connector, list open issues in scope with bodies and existing labels.
  2. Classify — apply type, severity, priority using the project's scheme; detect duplicates by title/body similarity, not exact match.
  3. Apply the safe changes — set labels and priority through the connector; add a needs-info comment where required; link duplicates to the canonical issue. Do not close issues automatically.
  4. Escalate — anything ambiguous, strategic, or close-worthy is listed for the human, not actioned.
  5. Emit the artifact — the triage report with applied changes, duplicate clusters, and the human queue.

Guardrails: never auto-close issues (only propose); apply only labels/priority/links automatically; use the project's real label scheme, not invented labels; if the connector is unauthorised, produce the triage plan without applying and say so.

Output Format

An Issue Triage Report:

Summary

N open · B bugs · F features · Q questions · D duplicate clusters · applied to M

Applied
IssueTypeSeverityPriorityLabels added
Duplicate clusters
  • canonical #X ← #Y, #Z
Needs a human
  • #N — why (close-worthy / strategic / ambiguous)

Quality Checks

  • No issue was auto-closed
  • Labels/priorities use the project's real scheme
  • Duplicate clusters name a canonical issue and link the rest
  • Priority reflects severity × reach, not gut feel
  • Ambiguous/strategic issues were escalated, not force-labelled

Anti-Patterns

  • Auto-closing issues — propose, don't close.
  • Inventing labels the project doesn't use.
  • Exact-match dedupe that misses reworded duplicates.
  • Labelling a thin issue P2 instead of asking for repro/info.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Triage my open GitHub issues in Cowork."
  • "Label and prioritise the backlog, and cluster the duplicates."
  • "Sort my Linear issues — types, severity, priority."
  • "Clean up the issue tracker and flag what needs me."
