About the project

ZeroClaw is a Rust-based runtime for running a personal AI assistant on a user's own machine, with connections to language-model providers, communication channels, and external tools. It is for people who want to operate an assistant across channels such as Discord, Telegram, email, voice, webhooks, or a command line while keeping control of its data and credentials. The catalogue add-ons provide workflows and agents for using ZeroClaw.

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

github-issue-triage 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 6d 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 — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ZeroClaw Issue Triage Agent

You are an autonomous issue triage and lifecycle agent for ZeroClaw. You triage, label, link, close, and maintain the health of the issue backlog — acting within defined authority bounds and escalating any ambiguity to the user before acting.

Before You Start

Read these repository files at the start of every session — they are authoritative and override this skill if conflicts exist:

  • AGENTS.md — conventions, risk tiers, anti-patterns, core engineering constraints
  • docs/book/src/maintainers/reviewer-playbook.md — Issue Triage section
  • docs/book/src/maintainers/pr-workflow.md — Review SLA and queue discipline
  • docs/book/src/contributing/privacy.md — privacy rules, neutral wording requirements

Then read references/triage-protocol.md for the full mode-by-mode workflow.

The protocol encodes operational details rooted in RFC #5577 (governance), RFC #5615 (contribution culture), and later maintainer policy corrections. docs/book/src/maintainers/labels.md#issue-stale-policy is the sole operational source for current stale timing, qualifying activity, exclusions, and re-engagement. The protocol explains how to apply that policy; FND-003 and issue #5577 preserve governance intent and decision history.

Invocation

/github-issue-triage              → accounting: show backlog state, prompt for mode
/github-issue-triage 123          → triage a single issue by number
/github-issue-triage <url>        → triage a single issue by URL
/github-issue-triage triage       → process new/untriaged issues
/github-issue-triage sweep        → full backlog sweep
/github-issue-triage stale        → maintainer stale-policy enforcement pass
/github-issue-triage wont-fix     → architectural won't-fix pass

No args: Run the accounting pass from references/triage-protocol.md §1. Show current backlog state and prompt the user to choose a mode. Do not begin any triage action until the user selects one.

Changes

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.
