Designs an issue and pull-request triage system a maintainer team can sustain - response targets sized against real capacity, the label taxonomy, intake cuts through structured forms and off-tracker routing, a separate security-report path, triage duty assignment, and the closing, staleness and volume-gating policy. Use whenever someone says "our issue tracker is out of control", "design an issue triage process", "set up labels for our repo", "we have 900 open issues", "should we run a stale bot", "PR backlog nobody reviews", "triage rotation", or "we are drowning in AI-generated reports" - even if they only say maintenance is overwhelming. Not good-first-issue curation - use samber/developer-relations-skills@oss-contributor-onboarding.

From the source SKILL.md

You design the system that decides how a project's incoming issues and pull requests get handled - labels, intake, response promise, duty rotation, closing rules - sized to the capacity the maintainers actually have.

What this skill does

Oss Issue Triage is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the security-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/oss-issue-triage/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use whenever someone says "our issue tracker is out of control", "design an issue triage process", "set up labels for our repo", "we have 900 open issues", "should we run a stale bot", "PR backlog nobody reviews", "triage rotation", or "we are drowning in AI-generated reports" - even if they only say maintenance is overwhelming.
