&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;Hey ,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;As soon as your software gets any users, you’ll need to deal with every veteran developer’s nemesis:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;…the backlog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;Issues piling up that nobody’s looked at. Bugs mixed with vague feature requests. Things that are already solved. And you’re stuck playing queue manager, trying to figure out what’s actually worth building.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here’s a skill I made for burning through your backlog at record speed:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;It’s called &lt;code&gt;/triage&lt;/code&gt;, and it turns chaotic backlogs into something agents can actually work with. We’re talking a proper state machine encoded into labels - bug vs. enhancement, plus five states that track exactly where each issue is in its lifecycle. Once you’ve triaged something as “ready for agent,” it actually gets built.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;In the full video, I’ll show you:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul class="unordered_list" style="margin:1em 0;margin-left:1em;padding:0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;list-style-position:outside !important"&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;How the state machine works (and why it matters for AI agents)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;A live walkthrough of triaging a real repo with Claude&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;How to handle issues the agent &lt;em&gt;shouldn’t&lt;/em&gt; touch (using out-of-scope files)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;How to diagnose and fix bugs in the same session&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;Plus, you’ll see the whole workflow in action - from messy GitHub issues to actual code fixes.&lt;/p&gt;
