What it does

Triage is an agent skill from octanejs/octane. Work out which part of the octane monorepo owns an unfamiliar failure or task. Use when the area is unclear, before picking a more specific skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 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 Monorepo tooling. The repository describes itself as: React’s programming model, compiled. The successor to Inferno. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The area is unclear
  • Before picking a more specific skill

Example prompts

  • “/triage”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read AGENTS.md.
  2. Inspect the concrete files/test output/issue text.
  3. Compare against documented intentional divergences.
  4. Identify the smallest owner and validation command.
  5. Return a concise triage card.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit efe12e3. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Triage loads about 374 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 119 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~374

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.

Skill: Octane triage

Use this for quick classification of issues, failures, test output, or proposed work.

Triage dimensions

  • Area: runtime, compiler, SSR/hydration, Vite plugin, binding package, docs, tests, benchmark, tooling.
  • Type: bug, feature, parity gap, intentional divergence, performance, flaky test, environment artifact, documentation.
  • Severity: blocker, high, medium, low.
  • Confidence: confirmed, likely, unknown, cannot reproduce.
  • Next action: reproduce, write test, patch, document, defer, ask for info.

Steps

  1. Read AGENTS.md.
  2. Inspect the concrete files/test output/issue text.
  3. Compare against documented intentional divergences.
  4. Identify the smallest owner and validation command.
  5. Return a concise triage card.
