# Triage

For maintainers turning messy issues and pull requests into decided work

## What this does

You maintain a project and strangers keep sending issues and pull requests, some clear, many not. Working out what each one is, and whether it deserves anyone's time, is a chore of its own. This skill gives that sorting a fixed path: items get categorised, checked, and pushed for details when they are fuzzy. Whatever holds up comes out as a short brief an agent can start from.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Categorise incoming issues and external pull requests
- Verify a problem is real before anyone works on it
- Press unclear reports with hard questions until they can be judged

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Triage

This skill exists for the steady arrival of issues and external pull requests on a project you maintain. Rather than letting each one sit in a vague state, it moves them through a state machine of triage roles, so every item has a defined place in the process.

As an item moves, it gets categorised and verified. When a report is thin or confusing, the skill grills it, pressing for answers until there is enough substance to judge.

What makes it through is written up as an agent-ready brief, so work leaves the process in a form an agent can pick up directly.

## Questions

### Is Triage safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Triage and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 885e2ca4d842, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/triage.

### How do I install Triage?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/triage on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/mattpocock/skills/tree/885e2ca4d842d139e9aef4e48d366c63cb1b8013/skills/engineering/triage. Install from that link, not the branch.
