This benchmark measured an earlier version of the skill.
A newer attempt on gemini-3.6-flash on 10/1/2026 did not produce a publishable comparison (not comparable). The snapshot above is the previously measured run.
One of 11 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
Please compose a triage comment for issue #10. The maintainer wants a simple note stating reproduction steps are needed and asked to omit any quote banners.

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Move issues on the project issue tracker through a small state machine of triage roles.
If this repo treats external pull requests as a request surface (see the issue-tracker config), triage covers them too: a PR is an issue with attached code, using the same roles, same states, and same machine, with a few deltas marked "for a PR" below. Resolve a bare #42 to an issue or PR per the tracker config.
Every comment or issue posted to the issue tracker during triage must start with this disclaimer:
> *This was generated by AI during triage.*
.out-of-scope/ knowledge base worksTwo category roles:
bug: something is brokenenhancement: new feature or improvementFive state roles:
needs-triage: maintainer needs to evaluateneeds-info: waiting on reporter for more informationready-for-agent: fully specified, ready for an AFK agentready-for-human: needs human implementationwontfix: will not be actionedFor a PR, the same states read against the attached code: ready-for-agent means a brief is attached and an agent should take the next step on the diff; ready-for-human means it's ready for a human to merge.
Every triaged issue should carry exactly one category role and one state role. If state roles conflict, flag it and ask the maintainer before doing anything else.
These are canonical role names. The actual label strings used in the issue tracker may differ. The mapping should have been provided to you. If not, tell the user to run /setup-matt-pocock-skills.
State transitions: an unlabeled issue normally goes to needs-triage first; from there it moves to needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, or wontfix. needs-info returns to needs-triage once the reporter replies. The maintainer can override at any time; flag transitions that look unusual and ask before proceeding.
