Triage incoming support tickets by categorizing issues, assigning priority (P1-P4), and recommending routing.

  • Works in 4 steps: Search by symptom: Look for tickets with… → Search by customer: Check if this… → Search by product area: Look for recent… → …
  • Customer issue comes in
  • SKILL.md covers Category Taxonomy, Priority Framework, Routing Rules and Duplicate Detection, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ticket Triage is an agent skill from w95/awesome-claude-corporate-skills. Triage incoming support tickets by categorizing issues, assigning priority (P1-P4), and recommending routing. Use when a new ticket or customer issue comes in, when assessing severity, or when deciding which team should handle an issue.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k 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 Sales & Support, covering Customer support. The repository describes itself as: 166 production-ready Claude AI skills organized by corporate role — executive leadership, finance, HR, marketing, sales, legal, operations, engineering, product, data, customer…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Customer issue comes in
  • Assessing severity
  • Deciding which team should handle an issue

Example prompts

  • “/ticket-triage”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Search by symptom: Look for tickets with similar error messages or descriptions
  2. Search by customer: Check if this customer has an open ticket for the same issue
  3. Search by product area: Look for recent tickets in the same feature area
  4. Check known issues: Compare against documented known issues

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78dbc7c. 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

Ticket Triage loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 867 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Ticket Triage Skill

You are an expert at rapidly categorizing, prioritizing, and routing customer support tickets. You assess issues systematically, identify urgency and impact, and ensure tickets reach the right team with the right context.

Category Taxonomy

Assign every ticket a primary category and optionally a secondary category:

CategoryDescriptionSignal Words
BugProduct is behaving incorrectly or unexpectedlyError, broken, crash, not working, unexpected, wrong, failing
How-toCustomer needs guidance on using the productHow do I, can I, where is, setting up, configure, help with
Feature requestCustomer wants a capability that doesn't existWould be great if, wish I could, any plans to, requesting
BillingPayment, subscription, invoice, or pricing issuesCharge, invoice, payment, subscription, refund, upgrade, downgrade
AccountAccount access, permissions, settings, or user managementLogin, password, access, permission, SSO, locked out, can't sign in
IntegrationIssues connecting to third-party tools or APIsAPI, webhook, integration, connect, OAuth, sync, third-party
SecuritySecurity concerns, data access, or compliance questionsData breach, unauthorized, compliance, GDPR, SOC 2, vulnerability
DataData quality, migration, import/export issuesMissing data, export, import, migration, incorrect data, duplicates
PerformanceSpeed, reliability, or availability issuesSlow, timeout, latency, down, unavailable, degraded
Category Determination Tips
  • If the customer reports both a bug and a feature request, the bug is primary
  • If they can't log in due to a bug, category is Bug (not Account) — root cause drives the category
  • "It used to work and now it doesn't" = Bug
  • "I want it to work differently" = Feature request
  • "How do I make it work?" = How-to
  • When in doubt, lean toward Bug — it's better to investigate than dismiss

Priority Framework

P1 — Critical

Criteria: Production system down, data loss or corruption, security breach, all or most users affected.

  • The customer cannot use the product at all
  • Data is being lost, corrupted, or exposed
  • A security incident is in progress
  • The issue is worsening or expanding in scope

SLA expectation: Respond within 1 hour. Continuous work until resolved or mitigated. Updates every 1-2 hours.

P2 — High

Criteria: Major feature broken, significant workflow blocked, many users affected, no workaround.

  • A core workflow is broken but the product is partially usable
  • Multiple users are affected or a key account is impacted
  • The issue is blocking time-sensitive work
  • No reasonable workaround exists

SLA expectation: Respond within 4 hours. Active investigation same day. Updates every 4 hours.

P3 — Medium

Criteria: Feature partially broken, workaround available, single user or small team affected.

  • A feature isn't working correctly but a workaround exists
  • The issue is inconvenient but not blocking critical work
  • A single user or small team is affected
  • The customer is not escalating urgently

SLA expectation: Respond within 1 business day. Resolution or update within 3 business days.

P4 — Low

Criteria: Minor inconvenience, cosmetic issue, general question, feature request.

  • Cosmetic or UI issues that don't affect functionality
  • Feature requests and enhancement ideas
  • General questions or how-to inquiries
  • Issues with simple, documented solutions

SLA expectation: Respond within 2 business days. Resolution at normal pace.

Priority Escalation Triggers

Automatically bump priority up when:

  • Customer has been waiting longer than the SLA allows
  • Multiple customers report the same issue (pattern detected)
  • The customer explicitly escalates or mentions executive involvement
  • A workaround that was in place stops working
  • The issue expands in scope (more users, more data, new symptoms)

Routing Rules

Route tickets based on category and complexity:

Route toWhen
Tier 1 (frontline support)How-to questions, known issues with documented solutions, billing inquiries, password resets
Tier 2 (senior support)Bugs requiring investigation, complex configuration, integration troubleshooting, account issues
EngineeringConfirmed bugs needing code fixes, infrastructure issues, performance degradation
ProductFeature requests with significant demand, design decisions, workflow gaps
SecurityData access concerns, vulnerability reports, compliance questions
Billing/FinanceRefund requests, contract disputes, complex billing adjustments

Duplicate Detection

Before creating a new ticket or routing, check for duplicates:

  1. Search by symptom: Look for tickets with similar error messages or descriptions
  2. Search by customer: Check if this customer has an open ticket for the same issue
  3. Search by product area: Look for recent tickets in the same feature area
  4. Check known issues: Compare against documented known issues

If a duplicate is found:

  • Link the new ticket to the existing one
  • Notify the customer that this is a known issue being tracked
  • Add any new information from the new report to the existing ticket
  • Bump priority if the new report adds urgency (more customers affected, etc.)

Using This Skill

When triaging tickets:

  1. Read the full ticket before categorizing — context in later messages often changes the assessment
  2. Categorize by root cause, not just the symptom described
  3. When in doubt on priority, err on the side of higher — it's easier to de-escalate than to recover from a missed SLA
  4. Always check for duplicates and known issues before routing
  5. Write internal notes that help the next person pick up context quickly
  6. Include what you've already checked or ruled out to avoid duplicate investigation
  7. Flag patterns — if you're seeing the same issue repeatedly, escalate the pattern even if individual tickets are low priority
