Drive an aging pull-request backlog to zero. Inventories every open PR, finds the STRUCTURAL blockers first (a required check that can never run, a reviewer that never fires, chronically red CI), triages every unresolved review thread in parallel and VERIFIES each finding against the code before fixing it, then merges serially. **ALWAYS use when** the user says 'burn down the PRs', 'stale PRs', 'aging PRs', 'PR backlog', 'get these PRs merged', 'clear the PR queue', or asks why PRs are not…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Triage Aging PRs

Drive a stale pull-request backlog to zero without breaking `main`.

The mistake this skill exists to prevent: **grinding through review comments PR by PR while the real blocker is structural.** Fix the gate first, or you will do a night's work and merge nothing.

## Step 0 — Inventory before you touch anything

Resolve the target repo and its **default branch** first — both are used throughout. `$ARGUMENTS` carries `--repo owner/name`; nothing else reads it, so without this an invocation naming another repo silently operates on the current checkout — and every ruleset mutation and merge below would hit the wrong repository. Likewise a repo whose default branch is `master`/`develop` must never be probed as `main`.

```bash
REPO="$(printf '%s' "${ARGUMENTS:-}" | sed -n 's/.*--repo[= ]\([^ ]*\).*/\1/p')"
REPO="${REPO:-$(gh repo view --json nameWithOwner --jq .nameWithOwner)}"
BASE="$(gh repo view "$REPO" --json defaultBranchRef --jq .defaultBranchRef.name)"   # never hardcode main
gh pr list --repo "$REPO" --limit 60 \
  --json number,title,isDraft,mergeStateStatus,isCrossRepository,createdAt,headRefName \

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add coalesce-labs/catalyst/triage-aging-prs@sha256:56f97596ac7391ec

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
