Drive the @swamp/issue-lifecycle model for interactive issue triage and plan iteration against swamp-club lab issues. Use when the user wants to triage a swamp-club issue, generate an implementation plan, or iterate on a plan with feedback. Also handles retroactive lifecycle creation for ad-hoc work via "prepare to ship", carrying several issues through one lifecycle when the same work fixes them (link_issue), and shipping a duplicate of an already-shipped issue with its fix instead of closing…

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

# Issue Lifecycle Skill

Interactive triage and implementation planning for swamp-club lab issues using
the `@swamp/issue-lifecycle` extension model. This skill drives the model
conversationally — the human steers, you execute.

The model operates on swamp-club lab issue numbers. Every step records a
structured lifecycle entry against the issue in swamp-club and transitions its
status as the work progresses. There is no GitHub integration — the issue must
already exist in swamp-club before you start.

## Core Principles

**Always use the installed `swamp` binary.** Every `swamp` command in this skill
must invoke the installed binary from `$PATH` — never `deno run dev` or any
other Deno-based invocation. Before running any swamp command, verify the binary
exists:

```
which swamp
```

If `which swamp` fails (binary not found), **stop immediately** and tell the
human: "The `swamp` binary is not installed or not on your PATH. Install it
before continuing." Do not fall back to `deno run dev`.

The commands below use `swamp behavior run`, which needs a current binary. If it
reports an unknown command, run `swamp update` first.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add swamp-club/swamp/issue-lifecycle@sha256:8378ea67690fde7b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.bf8aaa3, 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.
