Triaging Issues
pytorch/pytorch
Triages GitHub issues by routing to oncall teams, applying labels, and closing questions.
When everything feels urgent and equally impossible, sort it fast into do-now / schedule / drop / delegate — so the panic becomes a short, calm list.

What it does
Overwhelm Triage is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. When everything feels urgent and equally impossible, sort it fast into do-now / schedule / drop / delegate — so the panic becomes a short, calm list. Use when asked everything is urgent, I'm drowning in tasks, help me triage, or I can't tell what actually matters right now. Produces your overwhelming pile sorted into four clear buckets, the honest 'actually drop this' calls most people won't make themselves, the one thing to do right now, and relief from the false belief that everything must be done immediately.
Its SKILL.md is about 940 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
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 everything is urgent
- Im drowning in tasks
- I cant tell what actually matters right now
Example prompts
- “m drowning in tasks, help me triage, or I can”
- “actually drop this”
- “/overwhelm-triage”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Dump it all out. Get the whole pile visible — overwhelm shrinks the moment it's a list instead of a swirl.
- Challenge the urgency. Most "urgent" things aren't — test each against a real deadline and real consequence.
- Bucket ruthlessly. Do-now (real + urgent + yours), schedule (real but not now), drop (feels mandatory but isn't), delegate (someone else's…
- Make the drop calls. Explicitly permission-give on the things to let go — this is the release people can't do alone under stress.
- Surface one do-now. From the do-now bucket, the single first thing — so the person leaves with action, not a list to re-panic over.
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
Overwhelm Triage loads about 938 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 482 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- When everything feels urgent and equally impossible, sort it fast into do-now / schedule / drop / delegate — so the panic becomes a short, calm list. Use when asked everything is urgent, I'm drowning in tasks, help me triage, or I can't tell what actually matters right now. Produces your overwhelming pile sorted into four clear buckets, the honest 'actually drop this' calls most people won't make themselves, the one thing to do right now, and relief from the false belief that everything must be done immediately.
Overwhelm Triage
Overwhelm is often a lie your stress tells you — that everything is urgent, important, and yours to do right now. It rarely is. This triages the pile fast into four buckets (do now / schedule / drop / delegate), makes the honest "you can actually let this go" calls you won't make while panicking, and hands you one thing to do — turning a flood into a short, calm list.
What This Skill Produces
- The four-bucket sort — everything sorted into 🔴 do now · 🗓 schedule · 🗑 drop · 🤝 delegate/ask-for-help
- The honest drops — the tasks that feel mandatory but genuinely aren't, named (the relief most people can't give themselves)
- The real do-now — usually just one or two things that actually need you right now
- The scheduled rest — everything else assigned a later when, so it leaves your head
- The pressure release — the explicit "not everything has to happen today" reframe
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The pile — everything crushing you right now (dump it)
- Genuine hard deadlines — what truly can't move
- What only you can do — vs. what could be dropped, delayed, or handed off
- Your capacity right now — how much you can actually do today
Framework: Sort, Drop, Do One
- Dump it all out. Get the whole pile visible — overwhelm shrinks the moment it's a list instead of a swirl.
- Challenge the urgency. Most "urgent" things aren't — test each against a real deadline and real consequence.
- Bucket ruthlessly. Do-now (real + urgent + yours), schedule (real but not now), drop (feels mandatory but isn't), delegate (someone else's or shareable).
- Make the drop calls. Explicitly permission-give on the things to let go — this is the release people can't do alone under stress.
- Surface one do-now. From the do-now bucket, the single first thing — so the person leaves with action, not a list to re-panic over.

Output Format
The pile: [everything, captured]
🔴 Do now ([just 1–2]): […] 🗓 Schedule (real, but not today): [thing → when] 🗑 Drop (feels required, isn't): [things you can genuinely let go] 🤝 Delegate / ask for help: [who could take this]
👉 Right now, just: [the single first do-now thing]. The truth: not all of this has to happen today. Most of it doesn't.
Quality Checks
- The whole pile is captured and sorted into the four buckets
- Urgency is actually challenged, not accepted
- Honest "drop this" calls are made explicit
- The do-now bucket is small (1–2 things)
- One single next action is surfaced
- It reframes the "everything is urgent" pressure
Anti-Patterns
- Putting everything in "do now" — that's just the overwhelm re-listed.
- Refusing to drop anything.
- A long do-now list that re-triggers panic.
- Ignoring delegation/help as an option.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Everything is urgent and I'm drowning — help me triage."
- "I have too much to do and can't think straight."
- "Sort my to-do list, I can't tell what matters."
- "I'm overwhelmed — what can I actually drop?"
- "Help me figure out what actually needs to happen today."
