Move incoming issues and pull requests through triage states until each is actionable or closed — use when the queue has piled up or a report arrives unsorted.

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

# Intake

Work the incoming queue. Each item moves through a small set of states until it
is either actionable by someone who did not write it, or closed with a reason.

**A pull request is an issue with attached code.** Same states, same moves, with
the deltas noted below. Resolving a bare `#42` means checking both.

Adapted from `triage` in
[mattpocock/skills](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills) (MIT), cut down to the
states this repo can actually represent and retargeted at `gh` and `bd`.

## When To Use

- Open issues or PRs have accumulated and nobody knows which are real.
- A new report arrives and needs sorting before anyone works it.
- An issue has been sitting because it is not clear what it is asking for.
- Before planning, to establish what is actually in the queue.

## When Not To Use

- To do the work an item describes. Triage decides what happens to it, not how.
- For local, private notes. That is `skill-issues` and `.octo/ISSUES.md`.
- To review a PR's code quality. That is `skill-code-review` or
  `skill-staged-review`; intake decides whether the PR should be reviewed at all.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/skill-intake@sha256:3c36e79edd31aa15

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260814.ef54249, 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.
