How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

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.
Stop prompting. Design the loop. Get a score. loop init (or loop-init) scaffolds skills, state, and budget files, then prints your Loop Ready score and first loop command. loop doctor combines audit + sync + file checks into top-3 next actions.

Other skills on loop-engineering.
- /budget-negotiator
An advanced skill for L3 autonomous loops. When the token budget nears exhaustion, the agent analyzes its ROI and autonomously drafts a negotiation request for a budget increase rather than silently failing.
Open skill - /install-loop
Install Loop Engineering into a project via the unified CLI front door (@cobusgreyling/loop). Prefer this over invoking loop-init / loop-audit separately. Week-one is report-only; never enable auto-merge or unattended fixes unless the human explicitly asks and doctor is healthy.
Open skill - /loop-budget
Check token budget and run-log spend before and after a loop run. Enforces early exit when over budget or when there is no actionable work.
Open skill - /loop-constraints
Read loop-constraints.md at the start of every run and enforce every rule. This skill runs BEFORE triage or any action skill. Constraints are binding.
Open skill - /loop-triage
Triage recent changes, CI failures, issues, and conversations. Produces a concise, actionable findings report suitable for a loop to consume. Writes structured output to a state file or Linear board.
Open skill - /loop-verifier
Independent verification agent for loop-produced changes. Finds reasons to reject. Runs tests. Confirms diff scope. Use after minimal-fix or any implementer sub-agent — never in the same role as the implementer.
