# GitHub Triage

Work down a backlog of open issues and pull requests

## What this does

The open issues and pull requests have piled up and nobody has been through them in a while. This goes through the list: merges the ones that are ready, closes the ones already fixed and says what fixed them, links issues to the fix on the way, and puts a rough priority and size on the rest. Reach for it when you sit down to groom a repository.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Go through everything open in a repository
- Merge the pull requests that are already ready
- Close issues that something else already fixed

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About GitHub Triage

This works through a repository's open issues and pull requests using the gh command line tool. It can stop at triage, or go further and handle the pull requests that are ready to land.

On the pull request side it merges incrementally: passing automated and bot pull requests, and ones a maintainer has already approved. Pull requests that nobody has ever reviewed get review subagents spawned for them rather than being waved through.

On the issue side it closes the ones already resolved, with a comment citing the pull request or commit that resolved them, and cross-links issues against the pull requests still pending for them. Whatever remains outstanding gets a priority and a change-size estimate, kept locally.

## Questions

### Is GitHub Triage safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of GitHub Triage and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 09dfbd91537b, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/github-triage.

### How do I install GitHub Triage?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/github-triage on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/trailofbits/skills/tree/09dfbd91537b888136c9203dca4ffdee5a595c69/plugins/github-triage/skills/github-triage. Install from that link, not the branch.
