phx:triage

Triage — Interactive Review Resolution

Walk through review findings one by one for human decision before committing to fixes.

Usage

/phx:triage .claude/plans/user-auth/reviews/user-auth-review.md
/phx:triage                  # Uses most recent review

Why Triage

After /phx:review produces findings, you have three options:

1. Fix everything — /phx:plan .claude/plans/{slug}/reviews/...
2. Triage first — /phx:triage (filter, then fix what matters)
3. Handle manually — Read review, pick what to fix yourself

Best when review has 5+ findings and you want to prioritize.

Workflow

Step 1: Load Review

Read the review file. Parse all findings with severity.

Auto-approve Iron Law violations: Findings matching the 13 Iron Laws are auto-approved as "Fix it" without asking. These are non-negotiable in Elixir/Phoenix development.

Step 2: Present ALL Findings for Batch Selection

Use AskUserQuestion with multiSelect: true. Start with severity shortcuts, then list individual findings:

AskUserQuestion:
  question: "Which findings do you want to fix? (Iron Law violations auto-included)"
  header: "Triage"
  multiSelect: true
  options:
    - label: "All BLOCKERs ({count})"
      description: "Fix all critical issues"
    - label: "All WARNINGs ({count})"
      description: "Fix all should-fix issues"
    - label: "[BLOCKER] {title 1}"
      description: "{file}:{line} — {brief description}"
    - label: "[WARNING] {title 2}"
      description: "{file}:{line} — {brief description}"

If >4 options, batch into groups of 4 with severity shortcuts in the first batch. Severity shortcuts select all findings of that level — user can mix shortcuts with individual picks.

Step 3: Gather Context on Selected Items

For selected items, ask ONE batch follow-up: "Any specific approach for any of these?" If they say "just fix them", proceed.

Step 4: Generate Triage Summary

Write to .claude/plans/{slug}/reviews/{slug}-triage.md with Fix Queue (approved items with checkboxes), Skipped, and Deferred sections.

Step 5: Present Next Steps

Triage complete: {n} to fix, {n} skipped, {n} deferred.

1. Plan fixes — /phx:plan .claude/plans/{slug}/reviews/{slug}-triage.md
2. Fix directly — /phx:work (for simple fixes)
3. Review deferred items later
4. Capture solutions — /phx:compound (if patterns were solved)

Iron Laws

1. Batch selection over one-by-one — Use multiSelect for efficiency
2. User decides, not the agent — Present facts, don't push
3. BLOCKERs cannot be skipped silently — Warn if user tries
4. Capture user context — Every "fix it" should include any user guidance for better fixes
5. Suggest compound after triage — If triage reveals solved patterns (root cause identified, fix known), mention /phx:compound
6. NEVER auto-decide severity or auto-dismiss findings — the human assigns final priority; present the agent's severity as a recommendation, not a verdict

Integration with Workflow

/phx:review
       |
/phx:triage  ← YOU ARE HERE (interactive filtering)
       |
/phx:plan (with triage file) → /phx:work → /phx:compound
