What it does

Triaging Error Issues is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Triage PostHog error tracking issues during a daily or on-call review. Use when the user asks "what's broken?", "what new errors do we have?", "show me top errors today", "what should I look at this morning", or wants a prioritized list of active issues to work on. Surfaces new and high-impact issues, ranks by users affected and recency, points at linked replays, and proposes next actions (investigate, assign, suppress, merge).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering Incident response. It works with PostHog. The repository describes itself as: :hedgehog: PostHog is the leading platform for building self-driving products. Our developer tools – AI observability, analytics, session replay, flags, experiments, error…

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks whats broken?
  • What new errors do we have?
  • Show me top errors today
  • What should I look at this morning

Example prompts

  • “s broken?”
  • “what new errors do we have?”
  • “show me top errors today”
  • “/triaging-error-issues”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Pick a window and a signal
  2. Pull the candidate list
  3. Filter the noise
  4. Add context for the top items
  5. Present the triage list

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 812e5c6. 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 json).

    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

Triaging Error Issues loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 812 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 812 words (~1,932 tokens).

“When a user asks "what's broken?" or wants a daily error review, the goal is a short prioritized list of issues worth a human's attention — not a dump of every active issue. Most projects have hundreds of active issues…”
