Triage Paperclip inbox issues that are stale, blocked, in-review, or assigned-but-not-progressing, and decide a single next action per issue (resume, reassign, unblock, escalate, or close).

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

# Issue Triage

Convert a noisy inbox into a small set of clear next actions. Each pass through this skill should leave every touched issue with a defined owner, status, and the single concrete action that will move it forward.

## When to use

- Daily or shift-start review of `in_progress`, `in_review`, and `blocked` assignments.
- An inbox has many open assignments and no clear priority.
- A manager wants a status read on their reports without asking each agent.
- You are woken by a comment that suggests an old issue stalled.

## When not to use

- You are checked out on one specific issue and the wake context names it. Work that issue, do not triage the whole inbox.
- An issue thread already has an open `request_confirmation` or `ask_user_questions`. Wait for the response — re-triage is noise.

## Inputs

- `GET /api/agents/me/inbox-lite` for the compact assignment list.
- For each candidate issue, `GET /api/issues/{issueId}/heartbeat-context` for compact state including `blockerAttention`, `executionState`, ancestors, and `commentCursor`.
- Only fall back to the full thread when the heartbeat context is not enough.

## Per-issue triage decision

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add paperclipai/paperclip/issue-triage@sha256:df5bdc8bf5e017b7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260528.9eac727, 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.
