Triage Sweep

Automatically label GitHub issues and pull requests across your repository.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/triage-sweep-rlaope/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)
    Sign up to copy
  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.

When Claude uses it

Backfill labels across oh-my-hermes issues and pull requests. Run manually to sweep everything currently unlabeled, or pass a number to triage one item. Use when issues and PRs have accumulated without labels, after adding a new label to .github/labels.yml, or before a release when the backlog needs to be readable by area.

What this skill does

Triage sweep

The procedure lives in docs/TRIAGE-SWEEP.md. Read that file and follow it.

It is kept there rather than here because Codex, Hermes handoffs, and generic executor profiles run the same sweep, and AGENTS.md requires that no single executor own a shared surface. This file exists so the procedure is reachable as /triage-sweep; it deliberately holds no rules of its own, so there is nothing here to drift out of sync with the real one.

Start by reading, in this order:

cat docs/TRIAGE-SWEEP.md
cat .github/labels.yml

Two things worth knowing before you open the procedure, because they are what the sweep gets wrong most often:

  • .github/labels.yml is the entire allowlist. Never apply a label that is not in it, and never create one on the fly.
  • The default is a dry run. Print the plan and stop for confirmation unless the invocation carried --apply.

Arguments pass through verbatim: a bare number triages one item, sync-labels reconciles the repository against the manifest, --closed widens the sweep, --apply writes.
