What it does
|

A composable skill for triaging issues and tickets using configurable labels, designed to fix common failure modes in AI coding agents by providing structured backlog management workflows.

Overview

Part of Matt Pocock's "Skills For Real Engineers" collection, /triage provides a structured workflow for triaging issues and tickets using configurable labels. It operates as a state machine of triage roles, guiding the AI agent through a consistent process for evaluating, categorizing, and prioritizing work items. The labels used are configured during the /setup-matt-pocock-skills first-run setup, so the triage process aligns with your team's existing label vocabulary.

Key Features

  • State machine-based triage that walks through evaluation, categorization, and prioritization in a consistent, repeatable process
  • Configurable label vocabulary set up during /setup-matt-pocock-skills so triage aligns with your team's existing conventions
  • Multi-tracker support working with GitHub Issues, Linear, or local file-based tracking depending on your setup
  • Composable with the full collection integrating naturally with /to-issues (create issues), /to-prd (create PRDs), and /diagnose (debug issues that triage surfaces)

Who is this for?

  • Engineering leads who need a consistent, repeatable triage process that can be delegated to an AI agent
  • Teams with growing backlogs who want structured evaluation and labeling of incoming issues rather than ad-hoc processing
  • Developers using the mattpocock/skills collection who want the triage step integrated into their planning and issue management workflow

grill-me๐ŸŽฏSkill

Interviews the user relentlessly about every aspect of a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree one by one. Provides recommended answers for each question and explores the codebase when answers can be found there.

๐ŸŽฏ
grill-with-docs๐ŸŽฏSkill

A skill that runs a grilling session to challenge your plan against an existing domain model, sharpen terminology by building a shared language in CONTEXT.md, and document architectural decisions in ADRs before coding begins.

๐ŸŽฏ
improve-codebase-architecture๐ŸŽฏSkill

An agent skill from Matt Pocock's engineering toolkit that helps improve your codebase architecture. Part of a composable skill set designed to fix common AI coding agent failure modes through structured, experience-based workflows.

๐ŸŽฏ
tdd๐ŸŽฏSkill

Enforces test-driven development with a strict red-green-refactor loop using vertical slices (one test then one implementation at a time), emphasizing behavior verification through public interfaces rather than implementation-coupled testing.

๐ŸŽฏ
setup-matt-pocock-skills๐ŸŽฏSkill

Initial setup skill for Matt Pocock's engineering skills collection that configures your backlog manager, triage labels, and documentation paths for AI coding agents.

teach๐ŸŽฏSkill

A collection of composable engineering skills by Matt Pocock designed to fix common AI coding agent failure modes: misalignment via grilling sessions, verbosity through shared domain language (CONTEXT.md), code quality with TDD red-green-refactor loops, and codebase entropy with architecture improvement workflows.

๐ŸŽฏ
grilling๐ŸŽฏSkill

A model-invoked productivity skill that interviews users relentlessly about a plan or design until every branch of the decision tree is resolved. It serves as the reusable interview loop behind the grill-me and grill-with-docs skills.

๐ŸŽฏ
domain-modeling๐ŸŽฏSkill

A model-invoked engineering skill that actively builds and sharpens a project's domain model by challenging terms against the glossary, stress-testing with edge-case scenarios, and updating CONTEXT.md and ADRs inline.

๐ŸŽฏ
codebase-design๐ŸŽฏSkill

A model-invoked engineering skill that provides shared discipline and vocabulary for designing deep modules: maximizing behavior behind small interfaces, placing code at clean seams, and ensuring testability through public APIs.
