triage-issue

Assess, validate, and route community-filed issues for human disposition and roadmap placement. Takes a specific issue number or processes a confirmed batch of issues labeled state:triage-needed. Investigates reported behavior, separates objective findings from product decisions, and prepares validated issues for a human yes/no decision. Trigger keywords - triage issue, triage, assess issue, review incoming issue, triage issues.

Quality

Content

81%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, highly actionable triage workflow with clear sequencing and strong validation/confirmation gates for a batch operation. The main weakness is moderate repetition of the human-only constraint across multiple sections that could be consolidated.

Suggestions

Consolidate the repeated human-only disposition constraints into a single authoritative section and reference it from Step 6, Step 7, and the comment template rather than restating each prohibition.

Consider extracting the full classification table and triage-comment template into a reference file so SKILL.md reads as a leaner overview while keeping the decision matrix one level deep.

Trim the restated label-handling rules in Step 7 that duplicate the 'Critical' section's prohibitions.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is mostly substantive procedural guidance rather than concepts Claude already knows, but the human-only disposition constraints are restated several times (the 'Critical' section, Step 6, Step 7, and the comment template), which could be tightened into a single authoritative statement.	3 / 5
Actionability	Executable gh commands ('gh issue view <id> --json ...', 'gh release list --limit 10'), a copy-paste-ready comment template, and a concrete 10-point sub-agent prompt give fully actionable guidance covering single-issue and batch cases.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Steps 1–7 are clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints — prior-triage detection, completeness routing, version/fix checks — plus a batch confirmation gate (preview → confirm → process) and feedback loops (re-evaluate on new context, request retest), matching the top anchor.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	The file is well-organized with clear section headers and explicit cross-skill references (debug-openshell-cluster, create-spike, build-from-issue), but everything is inline in a single ~250-line file with no bundle files; some material (classification table, comment template) is appropriately central, leaving only minor organization gaps.	4 / 5

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, third-person description that concretely states capabilities, provides an explicit trigger-keyword clause, and carves out a distinct niche. It answers both 'what' and 'when' without padding or over-claiming.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Assess, validate, and route', 'Investigates reported behavior', 'separates objective findings from product decisions', 'prepares validated issues for a human yes/no decision', and 'processes a confirmed batch' — giving comprehensive coverage of what the skill does.	5 / 5
Completeness	It explicitly answers both 'what' (assess, validate, route issues; investigate behavior; prepare for yes/no decision) and 'when' (an explicit trigger-keywords clause), matching the anchor that requires both with concrete trigger phrases.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	The explicit 'Trigger keywords - triage issue, triage, assess issue, review incoming issue, triage issues' covers natural phrases a user would actually say, including singular/plural variants and synonyms.	5 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The niche is clear and narrow — community-filed issues labeled state:triage-needed — with distinct triggers, so overlap with other skills is minimal.	5 / 5
	Total	20 / 20 Passed
