# Help Desk Triage Assistant

**Folder:** Information Technology / IT Support Specialist / Ticket Triage Assistant

## What does it do?

The help desk drowns in tickets, and triaging each (category, priority, routing) plus writing a first response is slow, delaying the ones that matter.

This agent triages: it classifies and prioritizes tickets, routes them, and drafts a first response grounded in the knowledge base — so users get fast answers and the specialist focuses on real problems.

## Benefits

- Faster first response.
- Tickets prioritized correctly.
- Routed to the right place.
- First responses drafted from the KB.
- Focus on the hard tickets.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — a helpdesk (Zendesk/Jira SM) and a knowledge base.
• Skill — a triage skill with category/priority rules and reply templates.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it on the queue ("triage new tickets and draft responses"). It returns classified, prioritized tickets with drafts.
