Triages GitHub issues by routing to oncall teams, applying labels, and closing questions.

  • Works in 8 steps: Already Routed — SKIP → Question vs Bug/Feature → Transfer (domain library or ExecuTorch) → …
  • Processing new PyTorch issues
  • SKILL.md covers Contents, MCP Tools Available, Labels You Must NEVER Add and Issue Triage (for each issue), plus 1 more section
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls pip

What it does

Triaging Issues is an agent skill from pytorch/pytorch. Triages GitHub issues by routing to oncall teams, applying labels, and closing questions. Use when processing new PyTorch issues or when asked to triage an issue.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md`, `labels.json` and `pt2-triage-rubric.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Deep learning, Incident response and Issue triage. It works with PyTorch, GitHub and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Tensors and Dynamic neural networks in Python with strong GPU acceleration.

When your agent uses it

  • Processing new PyTorch issues
  • Asked to triage an issue

Example prompts

  • “Use the triaging-issues skill to triage GitHub issues by routing to oncall teams, applying labels, and closing questions”
  • “/triaging-issues”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Already Routed — SKIP
  2. Question vs Bug/Feature
  3. Transfer (domain library or ExecuTorch)
  4. Redirect to Secondary Oncall
  5. Label the issue (if NOT transferred/redirected)
  6. Escalate — High Priority (human review), then release triage
  7. bot-triaged (automatic)
  8. Mark triaged

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa0dab7. 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

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, 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

Triaging Issues loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,256 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.2k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 2,256 words (~4,239 tokens).

“This skill helps triage GitHub issues by routing issues, applying labels, and leaving first-line responses.”
