Prysm Note for bug triage
An untriaged bug tracker is worse than none, because it looks like information. A short regular pass keeps the list trustworthy, which is what makes it useful during an incident.
What matters here
- A fixed triage slot each week
- Impact and reproducibility as the sort
- One task per confirmed bug
- A close rule for stale reports
- Labels that map to areas of code
The pass
Read the new reports, ask for reproduction steps where they are missing, and close duplicates. Batch it, because context switching is the real cost.
Sorting
Impact first, then how reliably it reproduces. A crash on every load outranks an intermittent cosmetic glitch, and a list sorted by arrival says otherwise.
Closing
A report nobody can reproduce, with no response after a follow up, should be closed with a note. An honest closed list is more useful than a hopeful open one.

- Why do I keep abandoning my to do list?Lists get abandoned when maintaining them costs more than the clarity they provide. That is a design problem, and it usually has three causes.
