Triage sweep

SkillDev tools

Adds GitHub issue labels back onto your repo's unlabeled issues and pull requests.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the Triage sweep skill

About this skill

Backfill labels across oh-my-hermes issues and pull requests. Run manually to sweep everything currently unlabeled, or pass a number to triage one item. Use when issues and PRs have accumulated without labels, after adding a new label to .github/labels.yml, or before a release when the backlog needs

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by rlaope/oh-my-hermes in .claude/skills/triage-sweep/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

The procedure lives in docs/TRIAGE-SWEEP.md. Read that file and follow it.

It is kept there rather than here because Codex, Hermes handoffs, and generic executor profiles run the same sweep, and AGENTS.md requires that no single executor own a shared surface. This file exists so the procedure is reachable as /triage-sweep; it deliberately holds no rules of its own, so there is nothing here to drift out of sync with the real one.

Start by reading, in this order:

cat docs/TRIAGE-SWEEP.md
cat .github/labels.yml

Two things worth knowing before you open the procedure, because they are what the sweep gets wrong most often:

  • .github/labels.yml is the entire allowlist. Never apply a label that is not in it, and never create one on the fly.
  • The default is a dry run. Print the plan and stop for confirmation unless the invocation carried --apply.

Arguments pass through verbatim: a bare number triages one item, sync-labels reconciles the repository against the manifest, --closed widens the sweep, --apply writes.
