PROMPT
Set up daily GitHub triage for these repos: [list your repos] I want it to: - Run every weekday at 10am - Comment helpfully on new issues (identify as my bot) - Open PRs for issues you're confident you can fix - Alert me on Telegram when there's something important - Track state so you don't comment twice on the same issue
How It Works
This skill runs daily (weekdays 10am) to triage GitHub repositories.
It doesn't just summarize — it takes action on issues it can confidently fix.
What You Get
- Scans all open issues and PRs across configured repos
- Posts helpful comments identifying as a bot
- Opens PRs for high-confidence fixes (threshold 8/10)
- Checks PR health (failing CI, merge conflicts, stale)
- Daily summary to Telegram with confidence assessments
Setup Steps
- Configure repos to monitor in pinchbench-config.json
- Set confidence thresholds (comment: 8, PR: 8)
- Configure Telegram topic for summaries
- State tracked in pinchbench-state.json
Tips
- Confidence assessment is mandatory for every unhandled issue
- Spawns subagents for PR work to not block triage
- Only comments once per issue (tracked in state)
- Always identifies as "@owner's OpenClaw bot" in comments
- Tune thresholds up if engagement proves valuable
