What it does

Qv Qip Triage is an agent skill from tetherto/qvac. Use during planning, implementation, PR review, or /qv-qip-triage when a change may affect public SDK API, native dependency, plugin contract, model registry contract, runtime, transport, storage, release flow, deployment, security, NFR, or technical principles.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/significance-triggers.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Pull requests and MLOps. The repository describes itself as: Open-source local AI SDK - run AI on-device with no cloud, no API keys. Supports GGUF, RAG, image, music, and video generation, speech-to-text, P2P inference, and more… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests
  • Tasks that involve MLOps

Example prompts

  • “/qv-qip-triage”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read references/significance-triggers.md
  2. Inspect the requested change, planned work, or diff
  3. Apply the checklist with a high-confidence bar only
  4. If no trigger clearly fires, say so briefly and continue normally
  5. If a trigger clearly fires

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 673ea94. 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

Qv Qip Triage loads about 746 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 291 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~746
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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.

QIP Triage

Conservatively decide whether a change needs a QIP before deeper implementation or merge recommendation.

When to use this skill

Use when:

  • Planning or implementing a change that may affect technical direction
  • Reviewing a PR or diff for cross-package, contract, delivery, or principle impact
  • Another workflow asks whether a proposal is needed first
  • User invokes /qv-qip-triage

Do NOT use for:

  • Drafting the QIP itself (use qv-qip-create)
  • Reviewing an existing QIP draft (use qv-qip-review)

Core stance

  • Bias toward not interrupting the team
  • Better to miss borderline proposal candidates than to ask for a QIP on every small PR
  • This is advisory only. Never block mechanically or claim work cannot proceed

Workflow

  1. Read references/significance-triggers.md
  2. Inspect the requested change, planned work, or diff
  3. Apply the checklist with a high-confidence bar only
  4. If no trigger clearly fires, say so briefly and continue normally
  5. If a trigger clearly fires:
    • Name the trigger and why in one or two sentences
    • List the exact points that need a QIP, not the whole requested change
    • Separate implementation details that do not need a QIP on their own
    • Recommend how many QIPs are needed:
      • One QIP when the points are one decision with a shared consequence set
      • Multiple QIPs when points can be approved, rejected, or shipped independently
    • Name each proposed QIP scope in plain language
    • Ask whether to hand off to qv-qip-create
    • Do not start drafting unless the user confirms

Output format

When no trigger fires:

text
No architectural significance trigger clearly applies. Proceed with normal team review.

When a trigger fires:

text
Trigger: <trigger name>
Why: <one or two sentences>

QIP-worthy points:
- <exact point that needs proposal review>

Not QIP-worthy on its own:
- <implementation detail or ordinary work>

Proposal count:
<One QIP: <scope name> / Multiple QIPs: <scope names and why split>>

This looks technically significant because it changes <trigger>. I recommend drafting the proposal(s) above before going deeper, so the affected people can review the direction early. Want me to start a QIP draft from what we know?

Efficiency rules

  • Read the trigger reference once per session
  • Do not re-run the full checklist on every tiny follow-up edit unless scope changed materially
  • Cap shell calls at 0-2 unless inspecting a PR diff requires gh pr diff
