# Skill: Octane triage

Use this for quick classification of issues, failures, test output, or proposed work.

## Triage dimensions

- **Area:** runtime, compiler, SSR/hydration, Vite plugin, binding package, docs, tests, benchmark, tooling.
- **Type:** bug, feature, parity gap, intentional divergence, performance, flaky test, environment artifact, documentation.
- **Severity:** blocker, high, medium, low.
- **Confidence:** confirmed, likely, unknown, cannot reproduce.
- **Next action:** reproduce, write test, patch, document, defer, ask for info.

## Steps

1. Read `AGENTS.md`.
2. Inspect the concrete files/test output/issue text.
3. Compare against documented intentional divergences.
4. Identify the smallest owner and validation command.
5. Return a concise triage card.
