A GitHub App that applies conservative LLM-powered close proposals to any large open-source issue backlog

Large open-source projects accumulate thousands of stale, duplicate, and resolved issues that maintainers cannot keep up with manually. ClawSweeper proved the conservative AI triage pattern works at scale on OpenClaw's 7,000+ issue backlog, closing only 0.1% per review cycle across 6 narrow cases. But ClawSweeper is built specifically for OpenClaw's repo patterns. The product is a generic, configurable GitHub App that any project can install to get the same conservative close-proposal pipeline with per-repo policies, maintainer approval gates, and full audit trails.

Gap Assessment

CompetitiveMultiple tools exist but differentiation opportunities remain

4 tools exist (ClawSweeper, GitHub AI Issue Triage, trIAge, Repro-Bot (Metabase)) but gaps remain: Only works for OpenClaw repos. No generic configuration, no hosted service, no per-repo policy customization, no duplicate detection via embeddings.; Only triages new issues at intake. Does not scan existing backlog, does not propose closes, does not handle stale/duplicate/resolved detection on the full corpus..

Features4 agent-ready prompts

Weekly backlog scanner that reads every open issue, classifies by close-worthiness against 6 configurable close categories, and outputs a ranked candidate list

▶

Conservative close-proposal engine that drafts a public comment explaining the close reasoning, posts it as a draft, and waits for maintainer approval before closing

▶

Duplicate detection module that compares new issues against the full closed-issue corpus using embedding similarity and surfaces top-3 candidates

▶

Per-repo configuration panel in the GitHub App settings where maintainers set close policies, stale thresholds, protected labels, and LLM provider
