Triage

Turn one incoming report (bug report, feature request, external PR, feedback, alert, support message), or a small batch, into a supported decision and, for accepted or likely-accepted work, a brief an agent can act on without this conversation. Triage is intake, before planning. It recommends; the maintainer decides. Neighbours: Plan shapes accepted work into a slice; Navigate picks next work in an existing graph; Research answers one deep cited question; Implement makes the fix; Interview settles the caller's own intent; Reality Check audits a claim that something is done.
