About this capability

Work out which part of the octane monorepo owns an unfamiliar failure or task. Use when the area is unclear, before picking a more specific skill.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by octanejs/octane in .agents/skills/triage/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use this for quick classification of issues, failures, test output, or proposed work.

Triage dimensions

  • Area: runtime, compiler, SSR/hydration, Vite plugin, binding package, docs, tests, benchmark, tooling.
  • Type: bug, feature, parity gap, intentional divergence, performance, flaky test, environment artifact, documentation.
  • Severity: blocker, high, medium, low.
  • Confidence: confirmed, likely, unknown, cannot reproduce.
  • Next action: reproduce, write test, patch, document, defer, ask for info.

Steps

  1. Read AGENTS.md.
  2. Inspect the concrete files/test output/issue text.
  3. Compare against documented intentional divergences.
  4. Identify the smallest owner and validation command.
  5. Return a concise triage card.
