Use to select and advance one eligible issue from an authorized pool through claim, review, release, and live verification.

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 pool progression

Advance one unblocked issue without guessing around an external decision.

## When to use

- The project defines an authorized label or issue list for agent work.
- Scheduled work should choose one eligible issue.
- Claims, merge state, deployment, and cleanup need a consistent protocol.

## When not to use

- The issue pool or repository is outside the written authorization.
- A hold, dependency, or owner decision blocks the next step.
- Another active claim owns the issue.
- The user asked for a plan only.

## What you need

- Current default-branch and issue history access.
- The repository's claim and review rules.
- Dependency, owner, milestone, and hold state.
- CI, review-thread, deployment, and live-check evidence.
- A written authorization policy for external actions.

Before any external action, read the project instruction file (AGENTS.md for
Codex, CLAUDE.md for Claude Code). The written policy must state who may claim,
comment, push, open, merge, deploy, close, or delete what, and when. Stop at the
first gate outside current authority.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jamditis/claude-skills-journalism/issue-pool-progression@sha256:c2db7e065c7f2619

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.21f0bb2, 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.
