Triage a GitHub issue into something actionable — reproduce the claim, find duplicates, judge severity, and apply labels, milestone, and assignee.

  • Works in 5 steps: Read it as written → Search for duplicates before anything else → Reproduce, or say plainly that you did not → …
  • The user asks to triage an issue
  • SKILL.md covers 1. Read it as written, 2. Search for duplicates…, 3. Reproduce, or say plainly… and 4. Judge severity on impact,…, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Issue Triage is an agent skill from superset-sh/superset. Triage a GitHub issue into something actionable — reproduce the claim, find duplicates, judge severity, and apply labels, milestone, and assignee. Use when the user asks to triage an issue, sort the backlog, deal with new issues, check whether a bug is already reported, or says "what should we do with this issue".

Its SKILL.md is about 1000 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 Product & Project Management, covering Issue triage and Project management. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Superset is an agentic IDE to orchestrate 100+ coding agents in parallel. Run any agent with your own subscription.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to triage an issue
  • Sort the backlog
  • Deal with new issues
  • Check whether a bug is already reported

Example prompts

  • “what should we do with this issue”
  • “/issue-triage”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__github__*

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read it as written
  2. Search for duplicates before anything else
  3. Reproduce, or say plainly that you did not
  4. Judge severity on impact, not volume
  5. Label, assign, milestone

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ec5b6e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • mcp__github__*

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Issue Triage loads about 995 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 594 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~995

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 594 words (~995 tokens).

“Triage answers three questions in order: is it real, is it new, and how urgent is it. Labels and assignees come last. Applying labels without answering the first three is filing, not triage.”
