triage SKILL.md skillA

triage from aethrox/doctrine is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add aethrox/doctrine/triage@git:20260809.2a45dbb

Pins git:20260809.2a45dbb in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Classify and prioritize an incoming bug report or feature request using Impact × Urgency, and route it to the right next step. Use when the user wants a backlog triaged, an issue prioritized, or asks whether something is worth working on now versus later.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Triage

Priority is not a feeling, and it isn't the reporter's tone of voice; it's the product of two independently-scored axes. This skill's defining constraint, from ITIL's incident priority matrix: **Priority = Impact × Urgency**, scored separately before they're combined, so a loud but low-impact request and a quiet but high-impact one land where they actually belong instead of where they were pushed.

This is the ongoing backlog process. For a live production outage happening right now, use `incident-response`'s severity/declaration phase instead; that skill owns the real-time incident path, while this one owns the queue.

## Phase 1: Classify

Tag the item with what kind of work it is before scoring anything:

- **Bug**: something that used to work, or was specified to work, doesn't.
- **Enhancement**: new capability or improvement; nothing is broken.

This decides which axis questions in Phase 2 even apply (a bug's urgency is about ongoing harm; an enhancement's is about a deadline or opportunity cost) and keeps the two from being scored by the same yardstick.

## Phase 2: Score Impact × Urgency

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add aethrox/doctrine/triage@sha256:13ea70a7f3ed5222

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260809.2a45dbb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
