triage-blockers
Skill0 starsChanged 18 days agoMITView on GitHub
Cluster blockers, name an owner, and escalate per decision-rights. Use when the user asks to triage blockers, stand-up blockers, or /triage-blockers. Do not invent owners. Update RAID rather than a second list.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 19
Do not keep a second blocker database.
- Very specific: line 34
If RAID is missing and the user has no list, stop and offer update-raid.
- Distinctive: line 43
Read AGENTS.md if present.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Triage blockers
Cluster and escalate. This is not update-raid (that writes the log) and not assess-change.
Do not keep a second blocker database. Prefer RAID ids.
Is this the right skill?
| Signal | Do this instead |
| Add a risk with evidence | update-raid |
| Scope/date change | assess-change |
| Weekly page | write-status after this |
Required inputs
- Open issues/dependencies from
docs/govern/raid.mdand/or stand-up notes the user provides context/decision-rights.md
If RAID is missing and the user has no list, stop and offer update-raid.
Human decisions (do not invent)
- Owner if not on the RAID row
- Escalate vs wait
Procedure
- Read
AGENTS.mdif present. Read RAID and decision-rights. - Cluster open issues/dependencies by theme (same system, same team).
- Find the home:
docs/govern/blockers-YYYY-MM-DD.mdand tell the user to persist owners on RAID viaupdate-raid. - Open references/blockers-template.md. Copy every heading. Write
n/awhen unused. - Each cluster: RAID ids, owner (from RAID or
unassigned), escalate to (from decision-rights) ornone.
Output
- Path:
docs/govern/blockers-YYYY-MM-DD.md - Template:
references/blockers-template.md
Quality bar
- Every cluster cites RAID ids or a user-named source
- No invented owner
- Escalate targets come from decision-rights or
none - Unused headings are
n/a

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
