Update the repo-local triage-issue-local companion skill using signals from recently triaged issues (maintainer re-labels, re-opens, follow-up comments).

  • Works in 2 steps: Verify GitHub CLI auth → Aggregate the triage-feedback signals…
  • Refining repo-specific triage heuristics and label taxonomy based on how maintainers overrode previous triage output
  • SKILL.md covers Write surface, Inputs, Workflow and Evidence Rules, plus 1 more section
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls gh, python3 and git

What it does

Update Triage is an agent skill from warpdotdev/oz-for-oss. Update the repo-local triage-issue-local companion skill using signals from recently triaged issues (maintainer re-labels, re-opens, follow-up comments). Use when refining repo-specific triage heuristics and label taxonomy based on how maintainers overrode previous triage output.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/aggregate_triage_feedback.py`).

It sits in Development, covering Issue triage. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Workflows and skills to help people and agents collaborate on open-source software with the power of Oz! The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Refining repo-specific triage heuristics and label taxonomy based on how maintainers overrode previous triage output
  • Tasks that involve Issue triage

Example prompts

  • “/update-triage”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Verify GitHub CLI auth
  2. Aggregate the triage-feedback signals for recently triaged issues with the bundled script

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2bb45f. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • python3
    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and git, 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

Update Triage loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 479 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

description
Update the repo-local triage-issue-local companion skill using signals from recently triaged issues (maintainer re-labels, re-opens, follow-up comments). Use when refining repo-specific triage heuristics and label taxonomy based on how maintainers overrode previous triage output.

Update Triage

Use this skill to improve .agents/skills/triage-issue-local/SKILL.md (and, when a label taxonomy change is warranted, .github/issue-triage/config.json) from real maintainer feedback on recent triage outcomes. The core skill at .agents/skills/triage-issue/SKILL.md is the cross-repo contract and is read-only from this loop.

Closed-as-duplicate signals are handled by the separate update-dedupe loop, not here.

Write surface

This self-improvement loop may only write to:

  • .agents/skills/triage-issue-local/ (and SKILL.md inside it)
  • .github/issue-triage/*

It must NOT touch:

  • .agents/skills/triage-issue/SKILL.md (the core contract)
  • any other core skill
  • the dedupe companion .agents/skills/dedupe-issue-local/SKILL.md (owned by update-dedupe)

The self-improvement runner enforces this via a git diff check against allowed prefixes before pushing. A violation aborts the run.

Inputs

  • Optional repository override if you are not running from the target checkout.
  • Optional time window override when you need something other than the default seven-day lookback.

Workflow

  1. Verify GitHub CLI auth:
bash
gh auth status
  1. Aggregate the triage-feedback signals for recently triaged issues with the bundled script:
bash
python3 .agents/skills/update-triage/scripts/aggregate_triage_feedback.py

By default this targets the current repo and looks back 7 days. It collects issues that were triaged in the window, any subsequent maintainer re-labels, re-opens, and follow-up comments. Closed-as-duplicate events are intentionally excluded. The script writes structured JSON to a temporary file and prints the path.

  1. Read the generated JSON and look for repeated reviewer signals:
  • maintainers repeatedly flipping the same label on similar issues (a label-taxonomy hint)
  • maintainers leaving the same kind of follow-up comment on the same class of issue (a recurring follow-up-question pattern)
  • maintainers consistently identifying a different owner than Oz inferred (an owner-inference hint)
  1. Propose the smallest edit that explains the repeated signal:
  • Prefer editing .agents/skills/triage-issue-local/SKILL.md under the override categories the core triage-issue skill marks as overridable (label taxonomy, owner-inference hints, recurring follow-up-question patterns, recurring issue-shape heuristics, repro defaults, known-duplicate clusters).
  • Only edit .github/issue-triage/config.json when the signal is a concrete label-taxonomy change (new label, renamed label, or description clarification). Never change color values without explicit maintainer guidance.
  1. Keep the core triage contract stable — never edit triage-issue/SKILL.md. Only the -local companion and the triage config evolve from feedback.

Evidence Rules

  • Prefer patterns backed by multiple issues or a strong explicit maintainer statement.
  • Skip the PR when there is no repeated signal. A one-off maintainer override is not enough evidence.
  • Avoid encoding reporter-authored content as triage rules.
  • Do not weaken the reserved-label rules (ready-to-implement, ready-to-spec) or the mutual exclusivity of duplicate_of and follow_up_questions.

Final Checks

  • Re-read the updated triage-issue-local companion skill and confirm any new rules are explicit.
  • Keep the companion concise; do not turn it into a long style guide.
  • Commit any changes on a local branch named oz-agent/update-triage. Do NOT push the branch; the Python entrypoint will run a write-surface guard and push only when the guard passes.
  • If the updates warrant a PR, it will be opened from the pushed branch. Tag @captainsafia as a reviewer on that PR.
  • Validate any temporary JSON with jq before relying on it.
