What this skill does

Triage organises issue handling around a project's defined statuses and categories. It checks whether an issue is a bug or an improvement, whether there is enough information and whether an agent can start or a person needs to intervene. It also preserves the context of earlier reviews.

This is useful when a growing task list makes priorities hard to see. The AI employee can check reproductions, summarise blockers and prepare a precise task with an expected outcome. Business priorities and product decisions remain with the team, now with a clearer picture for distributing the work.

When it can help

  • Organise open issues using shared criteria.
  • Separate reproducible bugs from incomplete reports.
  • Prepare tasks ready for implementation and review.

A task to get started

Review the project's open issues. Group them by urgency, identify those needing more information and prepare reproduction and acceptance summaries for the ones that are ready.

What you need

  • Authorised access to the issue tracker.
  • The project's statuses, labels and documentation.

Limits and result review

  • Labels must match the team's actual workflow.
  • Changing priorities, closing issues or posting replies requires authorisation within the task's scope.
