triage-issue

Triage a GitHub issue against the current fallow codebase and determine validity, priority, scope, and likely implementation shape. Use when the user asks to triage an issue, assess a bug report, or evaluate an enhancement request.

Quality

Content

86%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 tight, well-structured instruction-only skill: lean prose, a clear sequenced workflow with a reproduce-before-judging gate, and a well-defined evidence/confidence discipline. The gaps are minor — example commands for issue fetching and binary building, and an explicit fallback when a report cannot be reproduced.

Suggestions

Add one concrete example command for the fetch and build steps (e.g., how to fetch the issue via the GitHub connector and build the binary from current main) to close the actionability gap.

Add a short branch for reproduction failure, e.g., 'If you cannot reproduce the report, mark reproduction claims as unknown and downweight the validity judgment', to add an explicit feedback loop.

Consider adding the trigger synonyms 'feature request' and similar phrasing to the description so the skill fires on the most common user wording.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The ~30-line body is lean and directive with zero padding: every line instructs ('Reproduce the report on a binary built from current main before you judge it', 'Always cite local file references for implementation claims') and nothing explains concepts Claude already knows. It matches the 'every token earns its place' anchor.

5 / 5

Actionability

The guidance is mostly executable and specific — a numbered workflow, a defined confidence taxonomy, and concrete citation rules ('a file:line, a commit, or command output') — but it stops short of concrete commands for fetching the issue or building the binary. That places it at 'mostly executable guidance with minor gaps' rather than fully copy-paste ready.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The six steps are clearly sequenced and include an explicit checkpoint ('Reproduce the report… before you judge it'), but there is no branch for what to do when reproduction fails or is impossible. This is a read-only triage skill, so the destructive-operation cap does not apply; it sits at 'clear sequence with most checkpoints' rather than the 5's error-recovery feedback loops.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is under 50 lines with no bundle files and no content that needs external references; the body is organized into logical blocks (workflow, confidence taxonomy, citation rule, related skills, final rule). Per the simple-skill scoring note, this warrants the top score.

Description

92%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 description: it states what the skill does with specific actions, when to use it with natural trigger phrases, and occupies a distinct niche. The only weakness is a few missing common synonyms (e.g., 'feature request') in the trigger terms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists multiple specific concrete actions — 'Triage a GitHub issue', 'determine validity, priority, scope, and likely implementation shape' — giving comprehensive coverage of the triage task in third-person voice. It clearly matches the anchor for multiple specific actions with comprehensive coverage rather than the anchor with minor gaps.

5 / 5

Completeness

Both questions are explicitly answered: the 'what' ('determine validity, priority, scope, and likely implementation shape') and the 'when' ('Use when the user asks to triage an issue, assess a bug report, or evaluate an enhancement request') with concrete trigger phrases. This matches the top anchor exactly.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

'triage an issue', 'assess a bug report', and 'evaluate an enhancement request' are natural phrases users would say, but common synonyms such as 'feature request' or 'is this a real bug' are missing. This fits good keyword coverage with a few natural terms missing, not the comprehensive synonym coverage of a 5.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The description carves out a clear niche — GitHub issue triage against the current codebase — with distinct trigger phrasing, so it is unlikely to fire for unrelated skills. Only trivial overlap with general code-review skills exists, which does not reach the 'minor overlap' level of a 4.
