/tidy
Automated backlog cleanup. Non-interactive.
What This Does
- Lint all open issues
- Enrich issues scoring < 70
- Deduplicate similar issues
- Close stale issues (>90 days untouched, not blocked)
- Migrate legacy labels
- Report what changed
Process
1. Lint All Issues
Run /issue lint --all to score every open issue.
2. Enrich Failures
For each issue scoring < 70:
- Run
/issue enrichto fill gaps - Re-lint to confirm improvement
- Skip issues scoring < 30 (need human input, not enrichment)
3. Deduplicate
Compare issue titles and bodies for semantic similarity:
- Same domain label + similar problem statement = potential duplicate
- Present duplicates for confirmation before closing
- Close the less-detailed duplicate with "Duplicate of #N"
4. Close Stale
# Issues untouched for 90+ days without blocked label
gh issue list --state open --json number,title,updatedAt,labels | \
jq '[.[] | select(
((.updatedAt | fromdateiso8601) < (now - 7776000)) and
(.labels | map(.name) | index("blocked") | not)
)]'For each stale issue:
gh issue close N --comment "Closing as stale (>90 days without update). Reopen if still relevant."5. Migrate Legacy Labels
# Find issues with legacy labels
gh issue list --state open --label "priority/p0" --json number
gh issue list --state open --label "P0" --json number
gh issue list --state open --label "type/bug" --json numberMigrate each:
gh issue edit N --remove-label "priority/p0" --add-label "p0"6. Report
