description	Move incoming issues and pull requests through triage states until each is actionable or closed — use when the queue has piled up or a report arrives unsorted

Intake

Work the incoming queue. Each item moves through a small set of states until it is either actionable by someone who did not write it, or closed with a reason.

A pull request is an issue with attached code. Same states, same moves, with the deltas noted below. Resolving a bare #42 means checking both.

Adapted from triage in mattpocock/skills (MIT), cut down to the states this repo can actually represent and retargeted at gh and bd.

When To Use

• Open issues or PRs have accumulated and nobody knows which are real.
• A new report arrives and needs sorting before anyone works it.
• An issue has been sitting because it is not clear what it is asking for.
• Before planning, to establish what is actually in the queue.

When Not To Use

• To do the work an item describes. Triage decides what happens to it, not how.
• For local, private notes. That is skill-issues and .octo/ISSUES.md.
• To review a PR's code quality. That is skill-code-review or skill-staged-review; intake decides whether the PR should be reviewed at all.

Inputs

An issue or PR reference, or nothing — with nothing, take the queue in order. and for the public surface; and for tracked work.
