# Triage

## Why this Skill exists, and why it maps to `REQUIREMENT_INTAKE`

The original 12-stage process model (superseded by the current
fourteen-stage `docs/PROCESS_CONTRACT.md`) had a distinct `Triage` stage
with its own accountable "Triage Owner" role. That stage no longer
exists: the rewritten Process Contract folds classification into
`REQUIREMENT_INTAKE`'s own required checks ("duplicate check run") and
gives that stage a single accountable role, the Requester
(`docs/ACCOUNTABILITY_MODEL.md` §4).

This Skill is kept as its own, separately reviewable unit — because
classification (priority, duplicate screening) is a distinct piece of
work from simply recording the request — but it is bound to the same
stage as `request-intake`, with the same accountable role, so it never
contradicts the current, canonical workflow.

## Rejection path

Declined (duplicate, out of scope, won't-fix) → the Work Packet's status
becomes `cancelled`, with the reason recorded, per
`docs/PROCESS_CONTRACT.md`, stage `REQUIREMENT_INTAKE`.
