Triages a repository's open GitHub issues and pull requests via the gh CLI. Optionally reviews and merges ready PRs — incrementally merging passing automated/bot PRs and maintainer-approved ones, and spawning review subagents for never-reviewed ones — then closes already-resolved issues with comments citing the resolving PR or commit, cross-links issues with their pending fix PRs, and assigns local-only priority and change-size estimates for everything outstanding.

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 Triage
Triage a repository's open GitHub issues and pull requests. Optionally clear ready
PRs first (merge passing bot PRs and maintainer-approved PRs, review never-reviewed
ones), then close issues that are already resolved (with a comment citing the PR or
commit that resolved them), make sure issues and the pending PRs that fix them
reference each other, and assign a **local-only** priority and change-size estimate
to every issue that is still outstanding.
## When to Use
- When the user runs `/github-triage` to groom or review a repository's open issues
and pull requests.
- When an issue backlog has drifted: resolved work left open, fixes landed without
closing their issues, or PRs in flight that never linked their issue.
- When ready PRs have piled up (passing dependency bumps, approved-and-green PRs) or
PRs are sitting unreviewed.
## When NOT to Use
- Do not invoke automatically. This skill performs irreversible GitHub writes
(merging PRs, closing issues, posting comments) and runs only on explicit invocation.
- Do not use to apply priority/effort *labels* on GitHub. Priority and size are
presented locally only and are never posted (see Safety Rules).

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.65ecafa, 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.
