Analyzes all open issues in your repository\n2. Generates a simple table with recommendations for each issue\n3. Creates an interactive HTML report with checkboxes\n4. Produces a bulk operations script for approved actions\n\n**OUTPUT:**\n- `artifacts/triage/report.html` - Interactive web report with accept/reject checkboxes\n- `artifacts/triage/bulk-operations.sh` - Script to execute approved recommendations\n- `artifacts/triage/triage-report.md` - Markdown table for review\n\n**HOW TO USE:**\n\nJust provide the repository URL:\n```\nTriage the backlog for https://github.com/owner/repo\n```\n\nI'll fetch all open issues, analyze them, and generate the reports following the standard template.\n\n**AFTER TRIAGE:**\n1. Open `report.html` in your browser\n2. Review each recommendation\n3. Check the box to accept the recommendation\n4. Click \"Generate Script\" at the bottom\n5. Run the generated script to execute bulk operations\n\n**Ready to start? Provide your repository URL!**", "results": { "Triage Report": "artifacts/triage/triage-report.md",
