Triage Labels

The triage skill moves issues through these states by applying GitHub labels.

Agent-readyready-for-agentFully specified; an AI agent can pick it up
Human-readyready-for-humanNeeds human implementation

These labels must exist in the GitHub repo. Create them if missing:

Terminal window
gh label create needs-triage --color "FBCA04" --description "Maintainer needs to evaluate"
gh label create needs-info --color "D93F0B" --description "Waiting on reporter"
gh label create ready-for-agent --color "0E8A16" --description "Fully specified, agent-ready"
gh label create ready-for-human --color "1D76DB" --description "Needs human implementation"
gh label create wontfix --color "FFFFFF" --description "Will not be actioned"
