Systemic Issue Triage

Activation Contract

Use when triaging incoming issues, planning fixes for a backlog, or deciding how to respond to any bug report. The failure mode this skill exists to prevent: fixing symptoms one-by-one until the system becomes over-engineered machinery that grows exponentially and nobody can maintain.

For a full-backlog audit REPORT (dispositions across every open issue/PR), use backlog-triage; this skill governs how the resulting fixes are designed, batched, and closed.
