Maintainer Triage
🔵 Stable
🔷 SkillSpec L3
pm-maintainer
Get an open-source repo's issue backlog from 400-and-drowning to triaged-and-honest in one pass — a label taxonomy that encodes decisions, batch triage rules you can apply in seconds per issue, saved replies that stay kind at scale, and stale-bot policy set with a conscience. Use when a maintainer says 'my issues are out of control', 'triage my backlog', 'set up labels for my repo', or dreads opening GitHub. Produces the taxonomy, the triage pass rules, saved replies, and a sustainable weekly routine.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Every issue shape in the tree ends in a decision + a saved reply —
✓no branch ends in "leave it"
✓Wontfix replies give the reason and thank the reporter — respect at
✓scale is the whole trick
✓The bulk-close announcement runs BEFORE the sweep, and reopen
✓instructions are in the close message
✓Stale automation exempts accepted bugs explicitly
✓The routine fits the stated real hours, not the aspirational ones
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not build a 40-label topic museum — status labels are the system;
taxonomy sprawl is procrastination with colors
Do not use "someday" as a polite graveyard — unaligned features get
an honest wontfix
Do not auto-stale confirmed bugs; nothing burns trust faster
