GitHub quota/cache hygiene: Gitcrawl archives, Octopool-backed gh, freshness, limits.
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
# GitHub Cache Hygiene Goal: discover in the local Gitcrawl archive first, then use the existing Octopool-backed `gh` shim for current GitHub metadata and authorized writes. ## Default Path Start with local archive reads: ```bash gitcrawl search prs "<terms>" -R owner/repo --state open --json number,title,url ``` ```bash gitcrawl threads owner/repo --numbers 123 --include-closed --json ``` `--include-closed` keeps closed or merged candidates in scope. Archive state can lag GitHub; it is not proof of current state. Then use bare PATH `gh` when current metadata is needed. On Peter's machines it is expected to be the Octopool-backed shim, so supported JSON reads share the fleet cache without changing authentication or command routing: ```bash gh search issues "<terms>" -R owner/repo --state open --json number,title,state,url,updatedAt,labels,author gh search prs "<terms>" -R owner/repo --state open --json number,title,state,url,updatedAt,isDraft,author gh issue list -R owner/repo --state open --author user --assignee user --label bug --json number,title,url gh pr list -R owner/repo --state open --author user --label dependencies --json number,title,url …

How to install
mdr add steipete/agent-scripts/github-cache-hygiene@sha256:6fdc6f843c0436d9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.e332685, 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.
