Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Triage ## When to Use Use when this workflow matches the user request: Move issues and external PRs through a state machine of triage roles — categorise, verify, grill if needed, and write agent-ready briefs. _Source: [mattpocock/skills](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills) (MIT)._ Move issues on the project issue tracker through a small state machine of triage roles. If this repo treats external pull requests as a request surface (see the issue-tracker config), triage covers them too: **a PR is an issue with attached code** — same roles, same states, same machine, with a few deltas marked "for a PR" below. Resolve a bare `#42` to an issue or PR per the tracker config. Every comment or issue posted to the issue tracker during triage **must** start with this disclaimer: ``` > *This was generated by AI during triage.* ``` ## Reference docs - [AGENT-BRIEF.md](AGENT-BRIEF.md) — how to write durable agent briefs - [OUT-OF-SCOPE.md](OUT-OF-SCOPE.md) — how the `.out-of-scope/` knowledge base works ## Roles Two **category** roles: - `bug` — something is broken - `enhancement` — new feature or improvement Five **state** roles: - `needs-triage` — maintainer needs to evaluate - `needs-info

What does the triage skill do?
Move issues and external PRs through a state machine of triage roles — categorise, verify, grill if needed, and write agent-ready briefs.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill triage --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
