What it does

Triage Issue is an agent skill from NVIDIA/OpenShell, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Assess community issues, validate technical claims, request missing evidence, and prepare valid work for human disposition.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 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. The repository describes itself as: OpenShell is the safe, private runtime for autonomous AI agents. The licence is Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 834b79a. 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

Triage Issue loads about 846 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 448 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~846

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.

Triage Issue

Triage establishes whether a reported OpenShell problem is technically valid and sufficiently evidenced. A maintainer decides whether the project accepts valid work and where it belongs on the roadmap. Inspect current GitHub label names and descriptions; the general issue lifecycle uses state:* labels, but their exact names may change.

Scope and authorization

For a specific issue, assess it when requested. For batch triage, first show the issue count and a sample of titles and obtain explicit authorization before posting comments or changing labels on multiple issues. Do not infer that a label alone authorizes bulk changes.

Do not apply an acceptance state, place issues on the roadmap, or make a product investment decision. Do not introduce agent:* workflow labels. Follow SECURITY.md if the report may disclose a vulnerability; do not copy sensitive details into a public comment.

Assess one issue

  1. Run gh issue view <id> --json number,title,body,state,labels,author,comments. Follow Label Discovery in CONTRIBUTING.md to retrieve every page of current state:* label definitions and resolve unclear meanings. Check for previous triage, new human evidence, an existing owner, and duplicate issues.
  2. Confirm the User Story attests that the human operator personally uses OpenShell and directly encountered the problem or needs the feature for a specific use case. If this is absent, request that first-hand context; do not invent it. Check the Problem Statement, impact, workaround and its limits, and observable acceptance criteria.
  3. For bugs, verify reproduction steps using only OpenShell deployments. Do not install third-party tools solely to demonstrate reproducibility. Check the OpenShell version and relevant deployment details. For features, check the user-facing workflow and alternatives. Consider applicable middleware, interceptors, providers, and other extension points; prefer an applicable extension when it satisfies the use case, and do not dismiss it merely because it runs another service.
  4. For proposed configuration, CLI, SDK, or other UX changes, request notional examples of the suggested interaction if missing. Keep the issue framed entirely in terms of OpenShell.
  5. Reproduce or investigate enough to distinguish a confirmed bug, feasible feature, missing evidence, duplicate, already-fixed behavior, or expected behavior. State what was observed and what remains uncertain. Do not turn a failed reproduction attempt alone into a dismissal.
  6. Post a concise comment beginning with > **📋 triage-agent**. Explain the evidence, any exact missing information, and the next human decision. Replace the previous assessment state with the appropriate current assessment state only after checking repository definitions. Preserve maintainer acceptance, execution state, roadmap decisions, and unrelated labels; do not accumulate assessment states.

If substantial technical uncertainty remains, recommend create-spike with specific questions to answer. A direct user request can separately authorize planning or implementation through build-from-issue; it does not change the issue's recorded disposition.
