What it does

Triage is an agent skill from PrefectHQ/fastmcp. Find worthwhile FastMCP issues to work on in a backlog or release window, verify promising candidates, and present concrete picks with existing PR links.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 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 Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 🚀 The fast, Pythonic way to build MCP servers and clients. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/triage”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e2fcc41. 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 loads about 573 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 257 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~573

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.

Find worthwhile work

Read AGENTS.md and the contribution policy in the development guide. Honor the requested scope. For "since the last patch," identify the release timestamp, then look for open issues created or substantively updated afterward. Use a bounded inventory internally; report truncation if it affects coverage.

Start from an inventory, then link each candidate to the PRs that mention it:

bash
gh release list --repo PrefectHQ/fastmcp --limit 1
gh issue list --repo PrefectHQ/fastmcp --state open --limit 30 \
  --json number,title,author,createdAt,updatedAt,labels,comments
gh pr list --repo PrefectHQ/fastmcp --state all --search "<issue-number> in:body" \
  --json number,title,state,author

Pick work with concrete user impact, a supported contract being violated, and a tractable causal fix. Do not rank solely by recency, comment count, or how small a proposed patch looks. Automated dashboard churn is not itself useful work.

For promising candidates:

  • Read the report, comments, maintainer decisions, and prior bot investigation.
  • Search related issues and PRs in all states, including gate-closed contributions. Closure alone says nothing about a fix's merit.
  • Trace the relevant code and git history. Distinguish fixed on main, released on the affected line, and merely proposed.
  • Verify the claimed contract and enough evidence to explain the cause. A proposed solution is a lead, not a diagnosis. Consider compatibility before calling a fix straightforward.

Lead with the strongest pick as soon as evidence supports it: link, what breaks, why it matters, where the cause is, and the next action. Include a few alternatives when useful. Do not turn selection into an exhaustive audit or a full review of every linked PR. Save continuation notes only when needed.

When the user chooses implementation, use fix-issue. For an assignment decision on an external contribution, use review-issue. Triage alone does not authorize public mutations or implementation.
