Triage watches GitHub, Slack, Linear and your other tools. It brings you what needs you. The rest goes to Junior, your AI junior engineer. It runs on your Mac, learns how you work, and needs you a little less each week.

How it works
[01]
One line in Terminal. The app isn’t notarized yet, so read install.sh first. We would.
$ curl -fsSL usetriage.sh/install.sh | sh
→ Triage.app installed
→ triage, triage-mcp in ~/.local/bin
[02]
GitHub and Slack out of the box. Anything with an MCP server through a job. Triage uses the logins you already have.

One line, not an essay. Junior reads it back, plans, then works. You approve what goes out.
Bump the deps, same as last week.
Patch versions only, PRs wait for you. Same as last week.
Hand-offs
A pointer, not an essay. “Fix the flaky test on #498” is plenty. Junior opens the PR, the logs and the history itself.
Everything it needs, in one message, each question with a suggested answer. Often you just say yes.
You review the plan like a PR. Small jobs skip this, because nobody needs a plan for a typo.
Edits, tests and local commits don’t need your OK. They stay on your machine until you say otherwise.
Pushes, PRs, comments and messages wait for you, word for word. Junior has never posted in #general on its own. It isn’t allowed to.
Fix the flaky test on #498.

Over time
Here’s the diff. Push it?
This is Junior today. Every push waits for you.
Only Day 1 is built. The other two tabs are the plan, and they say so.
Fit check
Senior and staff engineers, and tech leads who still write code. They use Claude Code or Codex every day, work on a Mac, and have teammates waiting on them.
Teams that want a shared fleet of cloud agents, people who want AI to act without review, and anyone not on a Mac.
Better you read that here than after the install.
FAQ
The short answers. The long ones are in the README.
Not without your OK. Pushes, PRs, comments and messages wait for you, word for word. Edits, tests and local commits don’t need it, because they stay on your Mac.
It asks before it pushes a branch. You’re fine.
No. Junior runs on your Mac and stops when it sleeps, like the rest of us. Triage starts again after a reboot. Scheduled jobs that couldn’t run are recorded as missed, not quietly dropped.
A Mac, Apple silicon or Intel. Claude Code, installed and logged in. Codex works too, for chats.
GitHub and Slack out of the box. Linear, Sentry, Notion or anything with an MCP server comes in through a job. You set up a job by chatting with Junior.
On your Mac, under ~/.triage. Triage holds no GitHub, Slack or Linear credentials; it uses the logins you already have. What you send to Claude, Codex or a connector still goes to that service. We won’t pretend otherwise.
Nothing. Triage is free and open source, under the MIT licence. Junior runs on your own Claude or Codex plan, and each session shows what it cost, in dollars.
The app isn’t notarized by Apple yet, so a browser download would get blocked. The script installs it properly. Read install.sh first. We would.
One line installs it. Free and open source, on the Claude Code or Codex plan you already pay for. No account, no card.
