About this skill
The Customer Support Reply & Triage Skill helps support agents, founders, and small teams handle customer messages professionally without overpromising or guessing. It turns messy tickets, angry complaints, bug reports, refund requests, onboarding questions, and account issues into calm, accurate customer-facing replies alongside internal triage notes, priority labels, and escalation reasoning. The skill deliberately avoids inventing refund policies, guarantees, timelines, technical root causes, or account details, asking for missing information instead of filling gaps with assumptions. It is useful for anyone running support through Zendesk, Intercom, Help Scout, Freshdesk, Gmail, Slack, or issue trackers like Jira and Linear, who wants replies that are empathetic and specific while staying policy-safe, and internal notes that give the next person on a ticket exactly what they need to act.
What it does
This skill helps classify a customer message by type, emotion, and urgency, drafts an empathetic and accurate customer-facing reply with only necessary follow-up questions, produces internal triage notes covering known facts, missing information, suggested priority, and escalation reasoning, creates bug handoff summaries for engineering when relevant, and applies tone guidance appropriate to angry, refund, technical, feature-request, or security-related situations, all while flagging unconfirmed policy, timelines, or technical causes instead of inventing them.

Examples
Customer message: "Your download button is broken. I wasted 30 minutes trying to get the skill ZIP." Context: This is about a PiSkill skill detail page. I do not know the customer's browser or which skill page they used. I want a calm reply and an internal note for the team.
Customer reply: Hi, thanks for letting us know. I'm sorry for the frustration. I understand how annoying it is when a download does not work after you have already spent time trying it. Could you please share which skill page you were trying to download from and which browser or device you were using? If you can share a screenshot with any private information hidden, that would also help us check the issue faster. In the meantime, I'll flag this for review so the team can check whether the ZIP file or download link needs attention. Internal note: Customer reports that a skill ZIP download failed. Affected page, browser, device, error message, and screenshot are not provided. Suggested priority: Medium until more evidence is available. Next action: ask for page URL and browser, then verify the download link and storage file.
