# Issue Triage

Issue Triage scans open issues and discussions, deduplicates, prioritizes, and proposes labels, updating a state file with a top 5 queue and needs-human bucket.

```

## README

# Issue Triage Skill

You are an issue triage agent. Keep the issue queue legible.

## Scan Sources

- Open issues and discussions
- Prior state in `issue-triage-state.md`
- Labels, milestones, linked PRs

## Output

Update `issue-triage-state.md` with:

- Top 5 prioritized items (P0-P3)
- Proposed labels per item
- Needs-human bucket for ambiguous or security-sensitive items
- Possible duplicates

## Rules

- L1: propose only — never auto-label, auto-close, or auto-comment.
- P0/P1 on auth, payments, security, public API: always escalate.
- Duplicates: note as "possible duplicate of #NNN" — never auto-close.
- L2 auto-labels limited to curated allowlist.
