Triage the Gaia issue backlog and skill-batch intake queue. Use this skill when someone asks to: "triage issues", "clean up the issue tracker", "review the backlog", "close stale issues", "process the intake queue", "review skill-batches", "evaluate draft skill proposals", "approve or reject pending skills", "is this issue still valid?", "what's clogging the backlog?", "run a triage pass", or /gaia-triage. Covers two workstreams: (1) GitHub issue lifecycle — identifying resolved, stale, or…

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

# gaia-triage

Triage has three workstreams — GitHub issue hygiene, skill-batch intake review, and the
cross-repo prioritization sweep. Run them independently or together depending on what the
user asks for. All three produce documented, auditable decisions rather than silent
changes.

This skill absorbed `favorchurch/rock-steward`'s `rock-triage` (2026-09-01): its impact
sizing, priority matrix, four-step inspection, and prioritized-matrix output landed here
as **Workstream 3** rather than shipping as a second, competing triage skill. There is one
`gaia-triage`. Its priority ladder is the `P0`-`P4` ladder `/gaia-meta-audit` and
`/gaia-meta-sweep` already use — one vocabulary, not two.

Triage is **not** cartography. Sorting a backlog of known work is this skill; planning an
effort too big for one session as a map of decision tickets is `/wayfinder`. Taking one
triaged issue end-to-end to a PR is `/gaia-issue-resolver`.

## Headquarters

**Every issue lives on `gaia-research/gaia-skill-tree`**, regardless of which repo the fix
lands in. One tracker for the whole org.

```bash
export GAIA_HQ=gaia-research/gaia-skill-tree

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gaia-research/gaia-skill-heaven/gaia-triage@sha256:c802bd2ceaa60e54

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.da5d004, 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.
