triage-task

All tracker access goes through one command. Never construct JQL, WIQL, URLs or field lists — the provider builds them from the resolved context.

wb <args>    # wb not on PATH: python <this skill's directory>/../../lib/wb.py <args>

Steps

0. Key given? Go straight to step 2: start <KEY> resumes as well as starts. With no key, status lists every ticket with work in flight and the one command that moves each on.

1. No key given — task list. Four columns, newest first. Show them and ask which one, unless the request already names one.

   No tracker in this repo? task new "title" --type bug|feature|chore|support records it in the local backlog and everything downstream works unchanged. Only local contexts accept it; wb says so if the repo has a real tracker.

2. Pick it up — start <KEY>. Reads the ticket into .workflow/<KEY>/triage.json and prints its text, puts the checkout on the ticket's branch, and ends with the route and the one next command. Rerun it any time: it is a no-op that says where the ticket stands. To read without branching, or deeper, use task get <KEY> — depth 1 by default: the task, plus one line per linked item.

   • Use --depth 0 when the ticket is self-contained and links do not matter.
   • Use --depth 2 only when a blocker or a parent decides the approach. It fetches bodies for blocking and hierarchy links, never for relates.

   Light path (the route says so): no plan, no other skill, no status. Make the change and a test that covers it, then finish <KEY> -m "<type>: <summary>" --commit. It runs the suite, the regression check and the message check itself, so do not run them first; on a pass it commits exactly the checked files. If it says the work outgrew the path, continue with plan-change.

3. Go deeper only where it pays — the _expand list names what exists but was not included. Pass a handle back verbatim: task get <KEY> --expand comments:all. Do not compose handles; anything not in _expand is rejected.

4. Check _unmapped and _truncated if present. _unmapped means the tracker had a link type or field this version does not model — say so rather than guessing what it meant. _truncated means content was capped, and names the handle that would retrieve it.

5. Report gaps before planning. If the ticket lacks acceptance criteria, a reproduction, or a decision someone else owns, list those questions plainly. A blocked-by link that is not Done is a gap, not a detail. Write them to .workflow/<KEY>/questions.md and say the ticket is not ready to plan.

Rules

• Report what the ticket says, not what it probably means. Missing information is a finding to report, never a blank to fill.
• Quote the key in every claim so later steps can check it.
• One tracker per context, resolved automatically. If wb reports no context, relay its fix lines — do not guess a project or a URL.

Next, on the standard route: plan-change reads the artifact this produced.
