daily-triage — the morning-triage loop

Reads every issue, PR, and CI run that arrived overnight, ranks the genuinely urgent above the safely-ignorable, and leaves a five-line report next to your coffee. It writes nothing else and acts on nothing.

Category: A · Repo maintenance · Heartbeat: schedule (weekdays 07:00) · Level: L1 (report-only) · Cost: Low

Quickstart

1. Read LOOP.md — the six parts, the prompt, the limits, the three stops.
2. daily-triage-state.md is your spine — already committed with empty last-seen marks.
3. Claude Code: point a Routine or `claude -p` cron at .claude/skills/loop-task/SKILL.md.
   OpenCode: rename opencode.json.example → opencode.json, add the AGENTS.md line,
   wire skills/loop-task.md into a cron + wrapper script (see the file for the wrapper).
4. Rehearse once, by hand, before the schedule ever fires:
   "Run the daily-triage skill now, exactly as the schedule would."
5. Grade the rehearsal with the loop-verifier agent (.claude/agents/loop-verifier.md).
   PASS → arm the schedule. FAIL → fix the skill, never the report.

What's in this kit

File	Role
`LOOP.md`	the definition — six parts, prompt, limits, ownership, three stops
`daily-triage-state.md`	the spine — last-seen marks per issues/PRs/CI, so a beat never re-triages what it already reported
`loop-budget.md`	caps: 1 run/day, 15k tokens/day, 80% tripwire
`loop-constraints.md`	the constitution — report-only, no external writes
`loop-run-log.md`	append-only, one line per beat
`.claude/skills/loop-task/SKILL.md`	the procedure (Claude Code)
`.claude/agents/loop-verifier.md`	the read-only reviewer that grades `triage-report.md`'s format
`opencode.json.example` · `skills/loop-task.md`	the OpenCode twin — same skill text, cron + wrapper heartbeat

Loop Ready checklist

Provable success condition — triage-report.md exists, ≤5 lines, ranked, template-matched
Run limit — 1/day
Spine written first, committed empty
Report-only (L1) start — writes only triage-report.md + spine + log
Human gate placed — you read the report; nothing acts until you do
One log line per beat, no silent runs
Kill switch — loop-pause-all in loop-budget.md

How this relates to the course

This kit is the same loop built live in Part 5 · Step 13 — Build the Morning-Triage Loop, with the Claude Code build in 13a and the OpenCode build in 13b. The skill text and reviewer rubric in this kit are taken verbatim from that build.
