What you get

Classify issues + Prepare durable briefs

Main limitation

The workflow requires correctly configured tracker operations and label vocabulary.

First risk

External tracker mutation. Triage can change labels and post comments or briefs. Preview the intended disposition and verify the target issue first.

EVIDENCE FRESHNESS

Three checks, kept separate

A recent source check is not a runtime test or security audit.

30-SECOND BRIEF

What it does—and when it fits

Triage moves project issues through a small, configured state machine of triage roles. It relies on repository-provided issue-tracker and label references, inspects the issue and related context, and records durable briefs or out-of-scope knowledge so later agents can act on a clear disposition.

INSTALL BY AGENT

Choose your Agent

Paths come from official Agent docs or the universal installer behind skills.sh. Compatibility still follows this Skill's record.

Native

This Skill's current record explicitly names this Agent. Still inspect scripts, permissions, and external dependencies first.

Project scope.claude/skills/triage/
Personal scope~/.claude/skills/triage/

Use project scope for team sharing and personal scope across repositories. The installer defaults to project scope; add -g for personal scope.

Install command (project scope)npx skills add mattpocock/skills --skill triage --agent claude-code
Official agent docs

Claude Code discovers custom Skill folders automatically at project or personal scope.

TYPICAL WORKFLOW

A practical workflow

01

Classify issues

Assign the configured triage role based on evidence and scope.

02

Prepare durable briefs

Turn actionable issues into context-rich instructions for later work.

03

Capture out-of-scope knowledge

Preserve useful findings without forcing them into the current issue.

THE TRADEOFFS

Advantages and tradeoffs

Notable strengths

  1. This profile is manually organized around the current upstream SKILL.md workflow.
  2. The capability boundary remains explicitly tied to mattpocock/skills.
  3. Core uses, limitations, and risks are separated for pre-install review.

Limitations

  1. The workflow requires correctly configured tracker operations and label vocabulary.
  2. Automated classification still depends on incomplete issue descriptions and repository context.

BEFORE YOU USE IT

Risks to review before use

High

External tracker mutation

Triage can change labels and post comments or briefs. Preview the intended disposition and verify the target issue first.

Medium

Upstream instruction drift

Behavior can change with upstream updates. Record the commit used for important workflows and review updates before adoption.

SECURITY

What the permission profile means

  • Declared access remains governed by the current upstream SKILL.md and runtime requests.
  • Treat repository files, web content, and tool output as untrusted input.
  • SkillSignal has not independently executed or security-audited this package; external skills.sh labels are not SkillSignal certification.

Not a security certification. External ratings are attributed references. SkillSignal has not independently executed or security-reviewed this Skill.
