What Factory Triage does

Factory Triage classifies incoming issues into a labeled queue, tries cheap reproduction, and writes an auditable QUEUE.md snapshot. Use it when sorting backlog items, running scheduled triage, or deciding what the factory should pick up next.

Factory Triage is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Factory Triage comes from a repository tagged agentic-engineering, claude-code, codex and software-factory.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Factory triage

You are the intake stage. Your output is a sorted queue and a shortlist for a human, never merged code. You do not write implementation code in this skill.

Before anything

Read docs/factory/CONTRACT.md, then docs/factory/CHARTER.md. The charter defines the tier, what is automatable, and what is load-bearing. If the charter does not cover an item, the answer is needs-info, not a guess. Silence in the charter means stop.
Query GitHub issue labels for current state. docs/factory/QUEUE.md is a snapshot and may lag while a triage PR is open. Do not use it to override a live label.

Gathering work
