autopilot-issue-triage-scheduler

Queue open microsoft/apm issues and fan them out through an isolated pool (default 2) of autopilot-issue-triage-worker sessions. Advisory only. Never implements, never assigns, never requests reviewers. Activate on a mixed issue list or queue-all when the job is triage. Works in a local session, Copilot App automation, Cloud Agent, Remote Agent, or Agentic Workflow.

Quality

Content

82%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 highly actionable, well-guarded orchestration skill: executable commands, exact templates, mandatory table, and pervasive fail-closed validation. The main costs are repetition of the write-prohibition rules across sections and one dense inline scheduled-sweep paragraph.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Telegraphic and dense with no concept padding — every rule is operational ('write is always off', 'A helper failure stops the run'). Falls short of 5 because the never-write prohibitions are repeated across Activation card, Invocation, and Hard nos, and the scheduled-sweep paragraph is a run-on that could be tightened.

4 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable: copy-paste commands ('python <this-skill>/scripts/fetch_queue.py --kind issue --mode sweep --repo microsoft/apm > batch.json'), exact Enter-card and Exit-receipt templates, a specified queue table with columns, and fallback flags ('--records-json', '--labels-json') for the no-gh case cover the common paths.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear numbered procedure with explicit fail-closed checkpoints ('Missing -> stop', 'Incomplete evidence fails the sweep', mandatory table before any spawn). Not 5 because error handling is fail-stop with no fix-and-retry feedback loop, and step 4 ('Optionally present ONE consolidated triage digest') is loosely specified.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

References are one level deep, well-signaled with a markdown link ([assets/fan-out-pool.md]), and all referenced bundle paths (fan-out-pool.md, label-contract.json, fetch_queue.py, triage_state.py) exist, with scripts owning the filter logic. Not 5 because the dense scheduled-sweep spec (~11 lines of inline rules) is content that could live in its own reference file.

Description

87%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: concrete, third-person, repo-scoped, with an explicit activation clause and clear negative boundaries that distinguish it from sibling scheduler skills. Trigger coverage is good but could add a few user-side synonyms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names several concrete actions ('Queue open microsoft/apm issues', 'fan them out through an isolated pool (default 2) of autopilot-issue-triage-worker sessions', 'Never implements, never assigns, never requests reviewers'). Falls short of 5 because capability coverage has minor gaps (selection rules, queue table, digest output are not surfaced).

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both: what ('Queue open microsoft/apm issues and fan them out... Advisory only. Never implements, never assigns, never requests reviewers.') and when ('Activate on a mixed issue list or queue-all when the job is triage.') with concrete trigger phrases. Clearly above the 4 anchor, whose 'when' is weaker or less specific.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural keywords: 'triage', 'issues', 'queue-all', 'mixed issue list', 'fan out' — terms a user of this pipeline would actually say. Not 5 because common synonyms such as 'categorize issues', 'prioritize issues', or 'issue backlog' are missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche: repo-specific (microsoft/apm), names its exact worker skill, and the explicit negations ('Never implements, never assigns, never requests reviewers') separate it from the sibling delivery/PR-review schedulers. Minimal conflict risk; not 4 since no meaningful overlap remains.
