+
+# Issue Triage
+
+You are triaging all open issues on this repository. Your job is to split them into **bugs** and **feature requests**, rank each group, assess how well-specified each issue is, and produce an actionable triage report.
+
+## Step 1: Fetch all open issues
+
+Fetch every open issue with metadata:
+
+```
+gh issue list --state open --limit 200 --json number,title,author,labels,assignees,createdAt,updatedAt,body,commentsCount,reactionGroups,milestone
+```
+
+If `$ARGUMENTS` contains `--label=<X>`, append `--label '<X>'` to the command. If it contains `--milestone=<X>`, append `--milestone '<X>'` to the command.
+
+Also fetch recently closed issues (last 14 days) to detect duplicates and already-resolved work:
+
+```
+gh issue list --state closed --search "closed:>=$(date -v-14d +%Y-%m-%d)" --limit 100 --json number,title,body,labels,closedAt
+```
+
+**Exclude pull requests** — `gh issue list` may include PRs. Fetch open PR numbers to filter them out:
+
+```
+gh pr list --state open --json number --jq '.[].number'
+```
+
+Remove any issue whose number appears in this list.
+
+## Step 2: Classify each issue as Bug or Feature
+
+Read each issue's title, body, and labels to classify it into one of these categories:
+
+### Bugs
+Issues that describe **broken existing behavior** — something that worked or should work but doesn't. Signals:
+- Labels: `bug`, `defect`, `regression`, `crash`, `error`
+- Title/body keywords: "broken", "fails", "crash", "panic", "error", "regression", "doesn't work", "unexpected behavior"
+- Includes reproduction steps or error output
+- References existing functionality not working as documented
+
+### Feature Requests
+Issues that describe **new or enhanced behavior** — something that doesn't exist yet. Signals:
+- Labels: `enhancement`, `feature`, `feature-request`, `improvement`, `proposal`
+- Title/body keywords: "add", "support", "implement", "would be nice", "proposal", "RFC", "new"
+- Describes a capability the project doesn't have
+- Proposes a design or API change
+
+### Ambiguous
+If an issue doesn't clearly fit either category (e.g., "improve X performance" could be a bug or a feature), classify it as **Ambiguous** and note why.
+
+## Step 3: Rate issue detail level
+
+For each issue, assess how well-specified it is on a 3-tier scale:
+
+| Detail Level | Criteria |
+|-------------|----------|
+| **Well-specified** | Has clear description of what/why, reproduction steps (bugs) or user story (features), acceptance criteria or expected behavior, and enough context to start working immediately |
+| **Adequate** | Describes the problem or request clearly, but missing some detail — no repro steps, vague acceptance criteria, or unclear scope. Needs 1-2 clarifying questions before work can start |
+| **Under-specified** | Vague title-only or single-sentence body, no context on why it matters, no clear definition of done. Needs significant discussion before it's actionable |
+
+Indicators of good specification:
+- Code snippets, error logs, or screenshots
+- Steps to reproduce (bugs)
+- Proposed API/behavior (features)
+- Links to related issues or discussions
+- Clear "done when" criteria
+
+## Step 4: Rank bugs by severity
+
+Score each bug on these dimensions and compute an overall severity rank:
+
+### Impact (1-4)
+| Score | Level | Description |
+|-------|-------|-------------|
+| 4 | **Critical** | Data loss, security vulnerability, complete feature broken, crash in common path |
+| 3 | **High** | Major feature degraded, workaround exists but painful, affects many users |
+| 2 | **Medium** | Minor feature broken, easy workaround, affects subset of users |
+| 1 | **Low** | Cosmetic, edge case, documentation error, minor inconvenience |
+
+### Urgency (1-3)
+| Score | Level | Description |
+|-------|-------|-------------|
+| 3 | **Urgent** | Security issue, regression in recent release, blocking other work |
+| 2 | **Normal** | Should be fixed in next release cycle |
+| 1 | **Low** | Fix when convenient, backlog-worthy |
+
+### Scope (1-3)
+| Score | Level | Description |
+|-------|-------|-------------|
+| 3 | **Broad** | Affects core path, multiple modules, or all users |
+| 2 | **Moderate** | Affects one module or a specific configuration |
+| 1 | **Narrow** | Affects edge case or single obscure path |
+
+**Bug severity score** = Impact × 2 + Urgency + Scope (base max 14)
+
+Apply a one-time +2 boost if any of the following are true (max 16):
+- Has a linked PR already (someone is working on it — fast-track review)
+- Is labeled `security`
+- Is a regression (worked before, broken now)
+
+## Step 5: Rank features by opportunity
+
+Score each feature request on these dimensions:
+
+### Value (1-4)
+| Score | Level | Description |
+|-------|-------|-------------|
+| 4 | **High** | Unlocks new use cases, frequently requested, strategic alignment |
+| 3 | **Medium-High** | Significant quality-of-life improvement, good user demand signals |
+| 2 | **Medium** | Nice to have, modest improvement to existing workflow |
+| 1 | **Low** | Marginal value, niche use case, unclear demand |
+
+Look for value signals in the issue:
+- Number of thumbs-up reactions or "+1" comments
+- Multiple people asking for the same thing
+- Alignment with project roadmap (check CLAUDE.md TODOs)
+- Unblocks other features or simplifies architecture
+
+### Effort estimate (1-3, inverted — lower effort = higher score)
+| Score | Level | Description |
+|-------|-------|-------------|
+| 3 | **Small** | <1 day, isolated change, clear implementation path |
+| 2 | **Medium** | 1-3 days, touches a few modules, some design needed |
+| 1 | **Large** | 3+ days, cross-cutting, needs RFC or architectural discussion |
+
+### Readiness (1-3)
+| Score | Level | Description |
+|-------|-------|-------------|
+| 3 | **Ready** | Well-specified, implementation path clear, no blockers |
+| 2 | **Almost ready** | Needs minor clarification, but scope is understood |
+| 1 | **Not ready** | Needs design discussion, has open questions, blocked by other work |
+
+**Opportunity score** = Value × 2 + Effort + Readiness (base max 14)
+
+Apply a one-time +2 boost if any of the following are true (max 16):
+- A community member offered to implement it
+- It has a linked draft PR
+- It closes a gap listed in the project's "Current Limitations / TODOs"
+
+## Step 6: Detect duplicates and relationships
+
+Check for:
+- **Duplicates** — Issues describing the same bug or requesting the same feature (compare titles and bodies)
+- **Related clusters** — Groups of issues around the same area (e.g., multiple workspace issues, multiple CLI issues)
+- **Already fixed** — Open issues that may have been resolved by recently closed issues or merged PRs
+- **Blockers** — Issues that reference other issues as prerequisites ("depends on #N", "blocked by #N")
+- **Epic candidates** — Multiple small issues that could be grouped under a single tracking issue
+
+## Step 7: Produce the triage report
+
+Present the output in this format:
+
+### Quick Stats
+
+```
+Open: N | Bugs: N | Features: N | Ambiguous: N
+Well-specified: N | Adequate: N | Under-specified: N
+Unassigned: N | Stale (>30d): N
+```
+
+---
+
+### Critical Bugs (Severity 12+)
+
+Bugs that need immediate attention. For each:
+
+| # | Title | Severity | Impact | Detail | Age | Assignee |
+|---|-------|----------|--------|--------|-----|----------|
+
+Include a 1-line summary of the root cause if discernible from the issue.
+
+### High-Priority Bugs (Severity 8-12)
+
+Same table format. These should be addressed in the next release cycle.
+
+### Medium/Low Bugs (Severity <8)
+
+Compact table, sorted by severity descending.
+
+---
+
+### Quick Wins (Opportunity 12+ AND Effort = Small)
+
+Features that are high-value and low-effort — do these first. For each:
+
+| # | Title | Opportunity | Value | Effort | Detail | Age |
+|---|-------|-------------|-------|--------|--------|-----|
+
+### High-Opportunity Features (Opportunity 10+)
+
+Same table format. Worth investing in.
+
+### Backlog Features (Opportunity <10)
+
+Compact table, sorted by opportunity descending.
+
+---
+
+### Under-Specified Issues (Need Clarification)
+
+Issues rated "Under-specified" that can't be triaged effectively. For each, suggest 1-2 specific questions to ask the author to make it actionable.
+
+| # | Title | Type | What's missing |
+|---|-------|------|---------------|
+
+### Ambiguous Issues (Bug or Feature?)
+
+Issues that couldn't be clearly classified. For each, explain the ambiguity and suggest which category it likely belongs in.
+
+---
+
+### Duplicates & Overlaps
+
+Groups of issues that appear to be duplicates or closely related. Recommend which to keep and which to close.
+
+### Already Fixed?
+
+Open issues that may have been resolved by recently closed issues or merged PRs.
+
+### Stale Issues (>30 days, no activity)
+
+Issues with no updates in 30+ days. Recommend: close, ping author, or keep.
+
+---
+
+### By Area
+
+Group all issues by the area of the codebase they affect (infer from title/body/labels):
+
+| Area | Bugs | Features | Top Priority |
+|------|------|----------|-------------|
+
+### Suggested Next Actions
+
+Based on the triage, provide 3-5 concrete recommendations:
+1. Which bugs to fix first and why
+2. Which quick-win features to pick up
+3. Which under-specified issues to clarify
+4. Which stale issues to close
+5. Any clusters that suggest a larger initiative
+
+## Rules
+
+- Use `gh` CLI for all GitHub operations. Never guess issue state — always check.
+- For large issue lists (>20), use the Task tool to parallelize fetching issue details and comments.
+- Be concise in summaries. One line per issue in tables.
+- When scoring, be honest about uncertainty. If you can't tell severity from the description, say so and rate it conservatively.
+- Factor in issue age — older unresolved bugs may indicate they're less critical than they seem, or that they're hard to fix. Note this in your assessment.
+- Check comment threads for additional context that the original body may lack. An under-specified issue with rich discussion may actually be well-understood.
+- Do NOT post comments, close issues, or take any action. This skill is read-only analysis.
+- If the repo has >100 open issues, focus the detailed analysis on the top 30 by recency and engagement (comments + reactions), and provide a summary table for the rest.
