What it does

Triage is an agent skill from withastro/triagebot-action, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Triage a bug report against the triagebot-action codebase. Reproduces the bug, diagnoses the root cause, verifies whether the behavior is intentional, and attempts a fix.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `diagnose.md`, `fix.md` and `reproduce.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports and Root cause analysis. The repository describes itself as: A GitHub Action for issue triage.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve QA and bug reports
  • Tasks that involve Root cause analysis

Example prompts

  • “/triage”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Reproduce
  2. Diagnose
  3. Verify
  4. Fix

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 51d30da. 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

Triage loads about 541 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 295 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~541

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 295 words (~541 tokens).

“Triage a bug report end-to-end: reproduce the bug, diagnose the root cause, verify whether the behavior is intentional, and attempt a fix.”
