triage-ready
Triage: what should I work on next
A read-only orientation skill. It answers "what is the single best thing to work
on right now, and why?" and hands the pick off to claim-safety / dev — it
never mutates the store itself.
Readiness in the Forge kernel is a derived read model: an issue is ready only when every dependency is satisfied, it is unclaimed (no live lease), it is a claimable type (epics and decisions never enter the queue), and no defer window holds it back. Because it is derived, always recompute it — never trust a cached "status == ready". Recompute means: run the query fresh each time.
Do NOT use board
forge board reads a legacy snapshot store, not the live kernel, so its readiness
can be stale or wrong. This skill uses forge issue ready, forge issue blocked,
and forge issue stats exclusively.
