╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Skills that put Claude Code in charge of your priority queue. Manual overrides for snap reorders, plus the automatic signal-driven counterpart that wraps the Triage CLI.

Mirrored on both GitHub and Codeberg. Issues filed on either forge are welcome; commits land on both.

By design, the two are complementary:

Skill	Trigger style	Mechanism
TaskPriorityReorder	"bump X", "swap X and Y", "this is more urgent"	Delete + recreate against Claude Code's task tools
triage	"what should I do?", "what's hot?", "reorder by signal"	Wraps the Triage CLI

Install

The repo is laid out so a single clone yields both the live TaskPriorityReorder skill and the reserved triage/ slot for the forthcoming triage skill — each in its own leaf directory so the Claude Code harness slugs each skill from its containing folder rather than from the install parent:

claude_skill-Triage/
├── TaskPriorityReorder/
│   └── SKILL.md            ← live  (slug: TaskPriorityReorder)
├── triage/
│   ├── SKILL.md            ← placeholder (Triage v0.9)
│   └── README.md
└── priority-context.md     ← shared concepts, cited by both

# GitHub
git clone https://github.com/CryptoJones/claude_skill-Triage \
  ~/.claude/skills/triage-suite

# or Codeberg
git clone https://codeberg.org/CryptoJones/claude_skill-Triage \
  ~/.claude/skills/triage-suite

Claude Code recursively scans the ~/.claude/skills/ tree for any SKILL.md with frontmatter, so cloning into a parent directory like triage-suite/ exposes the TaskPriorityReorder skill now (slugged from its leaf directory) and will pick up the triage/ subdirectory automatically once its SKILL.md gains frontmatter at v0.9. No re-install needed.

Restart Claude Code (or open /hooks once) for the skill to be picked up.

Triggering

TaskPriorityReorder

Fires on phrasing like:

• "Move task #X to top"
• "Bump task X up the queue"
• "Reorder tasks by priority"
• "Task X is more important than Y" / "...is now top priority"
• Generic "shuffle the queue" framing

Explicit invocation: /TaskPriorityReorder.

Full trigger catalog, in-progress task handling, and a worked example live in TaskPriorityReorder/SKILL.md.

triage (planned — Triage v0.9)

Will fire on phrasing like:

• "What should I do next?"
• "What's hot right now?"
• "Reorder by signal"
• "Show me the triage queue"

Invokes triage tick, surfaces the top-N tasks with the rule contributions that pushed them there. Operator confirms before anything is reordered in Claude Code's own task list.

---

Why a skill, not a memory rule

Memory rules can be forgotten under context pressure. Skill triggers fire automatically when the frontmatter description matches the operator's phrasing. That's the right tool for multi-step procedures with a precise sequence, where missing or reordering any step loses information irrecoverably.

TaskPriorityReorder is exactly that shape: capture → verify → delete → recreate. Drop one step, lose content.

Companion project: Triage

Triage is the meta-scheduler this skill repo wraps. Triage watches signals (cron windows, CI status, deadlines, blockers, future runpod cost) and reorders its own priority queue, with every reorder explainable via triage why <id>.
