At a glance

Triage everything that needs the hiring manager's attention — inbox, Ashby pipeline, WAAS applicants, and other sources.

  • Works in 6 steps: WAAS health check → Pull inbox → Categorize each email → …
  • The user says triage
  • SKILL.md covers Procedure and Rules
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Triage is an agent skill from yc-software/recruiting. Triage everything that needs the hiring manager's attention — inbox, Ashby pipeline, WAAS applicants, and other sources. The "start of day" view. Categorizes by activity type, surfaces what needs action, and filters out noise. Use when the user says "triage", "what do I need to deal with", "what's going on", "what's in my inbox", or any variation.

Its SKILL.md is about 5.9k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Email management and Recruiting and HR. It works with Slack.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says triage
  • What do I need to deal with
  • Whats in my inbox

Example prompts

  • “start of day”
  • “triage”
  • “what do I need to deal with”
  • “/triage”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_query_emails, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_get_email, mcp__ashby__candidate_search, mcp__ashby__candidate_info, mcp__ashby__application_info, mcp__ashby__application_list, mcp__ashby__application_feedback_list, mcp__waas__applicant_list, mcp__waas__health_check

Workflow steps

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

  1. WAAS health check
  2. Pull inbox
  3. Categorize each email
  4. Scan Ashby pipeline for candidates needing action
  5. Present the summary
  6. Wait for the hiring manager to pick, then drill down

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2d6543. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • mcp__google-workspace__gmail_query_emails
    • mcp__google-workspace__gmail_get_email
    • mcp__ashby__candidate_search
    • mcp__ashby__candidate_info
    • mcp__ashby__application_info
    • mcp__ashby__application_list
    • mcp__ashby__application_feedback_list
    • mcp__waas__applicant_list

    …and 1 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • workatastartup.com

    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 5.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,392 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.9k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_query_emails, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_get_email, mcp__

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 2,392 words (~5,938 tokens).

“Config: Read these files before executing — they contain all IDs, tokens, templates, and rules:”
