It helps maintainers find forgotten pull requests without changing or closing anything before they confirm the action.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

magpie-pr-stale-sweep scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 573 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

pr-stale-sweep

This skill is the stale-PR sweep for the project's pull request queue. It identifies open PRs that have had no new commit, comment, or update activity past a configurable inactivity threshold, classifies each as either REQUEST-UPDATE (nudge the author to confirm they still intend to land this) or CLOSE-STALE (propose closure for abandoned PRs), and — on the user's explicit confirmation — posts one lightweight comment per PR and optionally converts to draft or closes.

The skill never converts, labels, closes, or edits any PR field without confirmation. The decision belongs to the maintainer; this skill surfaces the candidates and pre-drafts the comments so the maintainer can review in bulk and confirm or skip individually.

It composes with:

  • pr-management-triage — the full first-pass triage skill; the stale-sweep targets the dormant-PR subset only, while triage covers all action-needed PRs.
  • pr-management-stats — for queue-level health reporting before and after a stale sweep.

Disposition vocabulary

The skill uses exactly two disposition classes:

Class When to propose Follow-up action
REQUEST-UPDATE PR is dormant past the warn threshold but not yet past the close threshold; author has not recently responded Post a nudge comment asking the author to confirm the PR is still in progress and they intend to address any feedback; no state change yet
CLOSE-STALE PR is dormant past the close threshold and has already received a REQUEST-UPDATE nudge with no response, or is dormant past a hard-close threshold with no nudge needed Post a pre-close notice and, on a second explicit confirmation, close the PR

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
