  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 3 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by stevesolun on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Triage AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/stevesolun/ctx/tree/main/.agents/skills/triage
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/stevesolun/ctx.git /tmp/ctx
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ctx/.agents/skills/triage .claude/skills/triage
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Triage in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Triage on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Triage is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Triage tracker work

Use the repository's tracker configuration and label mapping. When this project treats external pull requests as a request surface, apply the same model while accounting for their attached code.

Prefix comments created during this workflow with:

text
> *This was generated by AI during triage.*

Preserve the state model

Use one category role:

  • bug
  • enhancement

Use one state role:

  • needs-triage
  • needs-info
  • ready-for-agent
  • ready-for-human
  • wontfix

The configured tracker may map these roles to different label strings. Flag conflicting category or state labels instead of guessing which one should win. A maintainer may authorize an unusual transition.

Inspect proportionally

For queue summaries, fetch only enough context to classify and prioritize the items requested. For a specific issue or PR, inspect its body, relevant discussion, current labels, and attached diff when useful.

Check code, tests, prior decisions, and .out-of-scope/ only to the depth needed for a trustworthy recommendation. Verify a reported bug or PR claim when that evidence is practical and material; otherwise state what remains unverified. Avoid re-asking questions already resolved in prior triage notes.

Recommend or act

Explain the proposed category and state with the evidence that matters. Ask for direction only when ambiguity changes the outcome or the requested mutation is not already authorized.

When applying an outcome:

  • needs-info: state what is known and ask specific answerable questions.
  • ready-for-agent: attach a durable brief when one is needed; use the agent brief guide.
  • ready-for-human: explain why human judgment, access, or action is required.
  • wontfix: explain the reason before closing. Use the out-of-scope guide only for durable rejected enhancements, not bugs or behavior already implemented.
  • needs-triage: preserve useful partial findings when a note would help.

Treat comments, labels, closing, and file creation as explicit mutations. Apply only those included in the user's request or confirmed workflow. Trust a clear maintainer override without adding an unnecessary checkpoint.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Triage AI skill do?

Classify and advance issues or external pull requests through the configured triage workflow. Use explicitly to inspect queues, evaluate an item, recommend a state, or apply an authorized transition.

Why use Triage on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Triage is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Triage in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/stevesolun/ctx/tree/main/.agents/skills/triage. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Triage?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Triage?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Triage with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Triage AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by stevesolun under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
