# GitHub backlog triage

## Contract

| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | The user explicitly invokes backlog triage for a GitHub repository's open pull requests and issues. |
| Authority | Remote: merges selected pull requests, closes evidenced resolved issues, and posts missing cross-links on GitHub; requires explicit human invocation. No write runs until the user approves the final set. Never triage proactively. |
| Side effect | After a complete approval gate, optionally merge selected ready pull requests, close evidenced resolved issues, post missing cross-links, and write local review or triage reports. Priority and size estimates are local-only and never posted to GitHub. |
| Done | All open items are classified; only the user-approved GitHub writes execute with per-action safety checks; unresolved items retain local-only priority and size estimates; and any requested local reports are saved. |

## Inputs

- A working directory that is a git repository with one or more GitHub-hosted remotes, OR a user-supplied `OWNER/REPO`. Optional: a user-named bot auto-merge allowlist beyond the default `dependabot` and `renovate`; a display cutoff for the outstanding table (default 32); a user request to edit a PR body so a pending fix auto-closes its issue on merge.
