What it does
Triage Messages is an agent skill from techwolf-ai/ai-first-toolkit. Batch-processes Slack messages and emails to surface what needs the manager's attention, categorised by urgency and type. Designed for batch-responder managers who do Slack sweeps rather than staying in reactive mode. Supports effective communication and responsiveness. Never drafts replies, only surfaces and prioritises.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/operating-principles.md` and `references/output-template.md`).
It works with Slack. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Claude Code skills and Codex skills for AI-first work. Audit, re-engineer, and bootstrap projects with AI-first design principles. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/triage-messages”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2ee7841. 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.
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 Messages loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 503 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- triage-messages
- description
- Batch-processes Slack messages and emails to surface what needs the manager's attention, categorised by urgency and type. Designed for batch-responder managers who do Slack sweeps rather than staying in reactive mode. Supports effective communication and responsiveness. Never drafts replies, only surfaces and prioritises.
Triage Messages
Principle: "You are responsible." This skill surfaces and categorises. The manager decides what to act on and how.
Scans unread Slack messages and recent emails, categorises them by urgency and type, and presents a prioritised overview.
When to Use
- Morning routine: catch up on what happened overnight
- After a block of focus time or meetings
- When the manager says "what did I miss?", "catch me up", "triage my messages"
- Can be scoped to a time window: "triage since yesterday", "triage last 2 hours"
Instructions
If any MCP connector is unavailable, follow the connector unavailability protocol in references/operating-principles.md.
1. Determine Time Window
Default: since the manager's last likely check-in (use calendar to estimate, if they were in back-to-back meetings for 3 hours, scan those 3 hours).
If specified: use the provided time window.
If unclear, ask:
What time period should I triage? Options:
- Since this morning
- Last [N] hours
- Since yesterday
- Custom range2. Load Manager Context
Read from manager-context/ (if available):
manager-profile.md: to know who the direct reports are (their messages get higher priority)terminology.md: to decode internal shorthand in messagesteam/: to understand team members' projects and responsibilitiessources.md: to know which customer/project channels to monitor
3. Scan Slack
Search for messages in the time window:
Priority channels (scan first):
- Channels where the manager was @-mentioned
- DMs to the manager
- Team channels (from manager-context)
- Customer/project channels (from manager-context)
Broader channels (scan for relevance):
- Company-wide channels
- Cross-functional channels the manager is in
For each message/thread, capture:
- Who sent it
- Channel
- Content summary (1 line)
- Whether the manager was mentioned or it's in a direct thread
- Link to the message
4. Scan Email
Search Gmail for messages in the time window:
- Unread emails
- Emails where the manager is in To: (not just CC:)
- Emails from direct reports or known stakeholders
- Emails with urgent/action keywords
For each email, capture:
- Sender
- Subject
- Brief summary
- Whether it requires action or is FYI
Show full SKILL.md (200 more words)Show less
5. Categorise
Sort everything into these buckets:
🔴 Needs Your Decision
- Blockers waiting on the manager
- Approval requests
- Escalations
- Time-sensitive decisions
- Criteria: someone is explicitly waiting for the manager's input
🟡 Team Member Needs
- Questions from direct reports
- Requests for help or guidance
- Friction signals (repeated blockers, frustration)
- Criteria: a team member needs support but isn't fully blocked
🔵 FYI / Context
- Status updates
- Announcements
- Cross-functional threads where the manager should be aware
- Criteria: useful to know, no action needed right now
🟢 Customer-Related (if applicable)
- Messages in customer/project channels
- Customer-related emails
- Delivery updates, escalations, timeline changes
6. Present the Triage
Read references/output-template.md for the full output template structure.
7. Offer Follow-Up
That's your triage for [time window]. Want me to:
- Dig deeper on any specific item?
- Prep context for responding to something?
- Run /plan-priorities to fold these into your day?Important Notes
Read references/operating-principles.md for shared operating principles (data scope, DM flagging, signals vs diagnoses, connector unavailability).
Additional notes specific to this skill:
- Never draft replies. The manager writes their own messages. This skill only surfaces and categorises.
- Don't over-categorise as urgent. Reserve the red category for genuine blockers. Most things are FYI.
- Link everything. Every item should link directly to the source message/email.
- Decode shorthand. Use terminology.md to translate internal terms so the triage is immediately clear.
- If volume is high (50+ messages), summarise the FYI bucket rather than listing every item.
