How does it distinguish between an RFC and a Plan?

The skill uses classification logic to analyze issue content; complex changes typically trigger an RFC and a Plan, while simpler tasks may only generate an implementation plan.

Does this skill require any external software?

Yes, it requires the GitHub CLI (gh) to be installed and authenticated on your machine to interact with your repository's issues.

Can I preview changes before they are committed?

Yes, you can use the --dry-run argument to see which issues would be processed and how they would be classified without any files being created or labels being changed.

Can I filter which issues get triaged?

Yes, you can use the --label argument to only process issues with specific tags, such as 'bug' or 'enhancement'.

What does the triage skill actually do?

It scans your GitHub repository for open issues without lifecycle labels, normalizes their metadata, and generates structured documentation like RFCs and implementation plans directly in your repository.

Herramientas de Colaboración

Automates the batch processing of GitHub issues into structured documentation and specification-driven development plans.

The Triage skill provides a powerful batch entry point for teams practicing specification-driven development. It automates the tedious process of scanning open GitHub issues, normalizing metadata like labels and titles, and converting raw issue content into formal RFC proposals and implementation plans. By delegating individual tasks to the ingestion engine, it ensures a consistent documentation pipeline for every ticket in your backlog. This skill is essential for maintainers who want to ensure their project's documentation stays in sync with their issue tracker without manual overhead.
