What it does

Triage is an agent skill from ywwynm/EverythingDone. Triage issues through a state machine driven by triage roles. Use when user wants to create an issue, triage issues, review incoming bugs or feature requests, prepare issues for an AFK agent, or manage issue workflow.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `AGENT-BRIEF.md` and `OUT-OF-SCOPE.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Issue triage. It works with Android. The repository describes itself as: EverythingDone, an Android app to help you remember things, and finish them! The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • User wants to create an issue
  • Review incoming bugs
  • Feature requests
  • Prepare issues for an AFK agent

Example prompts

  • “/triage”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Unlabeled — never triaged.
  2. needs-triage — evaluation in progress.
  3. needs-info with reporter activity since the last triage notes — needs re-evaluation.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bc5f3f7. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Triage loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 595 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Triage issues through a state machine driven by triage roles. Use when user wants to create an issue, triage issues, review incoming bugs or feature requests, prepare issues for an AFK agent, or manage issue workflow.

Triage

Move issues on the project issue tracker through a small state machine of triage roles.

Every comment or issue posted to the issue tracker during triage must start with this disclaimer:

> *This was generated by AI during triage.*

Reference docs

Roles

Two category roles:

  • bug — something is broken
  • enhancement — new feature or improvement

Five state roles:

  • needs-triage — maintainer needs to evaluate
  • needs-info — waiting on reporter for more information
  • ready-for-agent — fully specified, ready for an AFK agent
  • ready-for-human — needs human implementation
  • wontfix — will not be actioned

Every triaged issue should carry exactly one category role and one state role. If state roles conflict, flag it and ask the maintainer before doing anything else.

These are canonical role names — the actual label strings used in the issue tracker may differ. The mapping should have been provided to you - run /setup-matt-pocock-skills if not.

State transitions: an unlabeled issue normally goes to needs-triage first; from there it moves to needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, or wontfix. needs-info returns to needs-triage once the reporter replies. The maintainer can override at any time — flag transitions that look unusual and ask before proceeding.

Invocation

The maintainer invokes /triage and describes what they want in natural language. Interpret the request and act. Examples:

  • "Show me anything that needs my attention"
  • "Let's look at #42"
  • "Move #42 to ready-for-agent"
  • "What's ready for agents to pick up?"

Show what needs attention

Query the issue tracker and present three buckets, oldest first:

  1. Unlabeled — never triaged.
  2. needs-triage — evaluation in progress.
  3. needs-info with reporter activity since the last triage notes — needs re-evaluation.

Show counts and a one-line summary per issue. Let the maintainer pick.

Triage a specific issue

  1. Gather context. Read the full issue (body, comments, labels, reporter, dates). Parse any prior triage notes so you don't re-ask resolved questions. Explore the codebase using the project's domain glossary, respecting ADRs in the area. Read .out-of-scope/*.md and surface any prior rejection that resembles this issue.

  2. Recommend. Tell the maintainer your category and state recommendation with reasoning, plus a brief codebase summary relevant to the issue. Wait for direction.

  3. Reproduce (bugs only). Before any grilling, attempt reproduction: read the reporter's steps, trace the relevant code, run tests or commands. Report what happened — successful repro with code path, failed repro, or insufficient detail (a strong needs-info signal). A confirmed repro makes a much stronger agent brief.

  4. Grill (if needed). If the issue needs fleshing out, run a /grill-with-docs session.

  5. Apply the outcome:

    • ready-for-agent — post an agent brief comment (AGENT-BRIEF.md).
    • ready-for-human — same structure as an agent brief, but note why it can't be delegated (judgment calls, external access, design decisions, manual testing).
    • needs-info — post triage notes (template below).
    • wontfix (bug) — polite explanation, then close.
    • wontfix (enhancement) — write to .out-of-scope/, link to it from a comment, then close (OUT-OF-SCOPE.md).
    • needs-triage — apply the role. Optional comment if there's partial progress.

Quick state override

If the maintainer says "move #42 to ready-for-agent", trust them and apply the role directly. Confirm what you're about to do (role changes, comment, close), then act. Skip grilling. If moving to ready-for-agent without a grilling session, ask whether they want to write an agent brief.

Needs-info template

markdown
## Triage Notes

**What we've established so far:**

- point 1
- point 2

**What we still need from you (@reporter):**

- question 1
- question 2

Capture everything resolved during grilling under "established so far" so the work isn't lost. Questions must be specific and actionable, not "please provide more info".

Resuming a previous session

If prior triage notes exist on the issue, read them, check whether the reporter has answered any outstanding questions, and present an updated picture before continuing. Don't re-ask resolved questions.
