Decide whether a product-board ticket is ready to build by reading its whole thread, status, waitingOn and triageVerdict first. Use before building, scoping or folding any ticket into other work.

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 a ticket thread

Never decide from the title or the description. The thread is the ticket.

## Steps

1. Read the body, every comment in order, the status, `waitingOn` and
   `triageVerdict`.
2. Find the latest turn. Thread recency is law: a later comment overrides an
   earlier one, the description included.
3. If the latest word on the ticket is a HOLD (from the operator, the client, or a HOLD
   label or comment that was never RESUMEd), the answer is `hold`.
4. If triage asked the client a question and the client has not answered it
   (`triageVerdict = needs_clarification`, `waitingOn = client`, or an open
   question as the last turn), the answer is `waiting-on-client`. This holds even
   when the direction looks obvious. an early engagement ("remove the discount toggle")
   was built while triage's question about how the rep sets the discount was still
   open, and it was wrong.
5. Only when the client's answer, or a clear spec with no open question, is the
   latest turn, the answer is `buildable`.
6. Say in one or two sentences which comment decided it, quoting it.

## Verdicts

- `buildable`: nothing open, the latest turn is an answer or a ready spec.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cromford-ai/cromford/triage-thread@sha256:e1600c77a75cc54a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.1268b26, 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.
