clawsweeper

ClawSweeper is a GitHub maintenance bot that uses an LLM to identify stale issues and PRs and propose closing them with reasoning attached. It also has a commit sweeper that flags potential issues in code. MIT licensed, free, runs on GitHub Actions or as a GitHub App.

Schedule-driven: hourly for hot items, daily for items under 30 days, weekly for older ones. Or trigger it on demand against a SHA range. The pitch vs stale-action and probot/stale is that it actually reads the issue, the PR, and main, then produces evidence ("implemented in commit X" or "duplicates issue Y") instead of closing on timeouts.

Pick this if you maintain an OSS repo with hundreds of stale issues and not enough time to review them. Solo maintainers: huge time saver, you only review suggestions. Small teams: same. Large engineering orgs probably build this internally; the public version is geared toward OSS maintenance patterns.

The catch: LLM-assisted bots make mistakes confidently. ClawSweeper proposes closures, it does not auto-close, and that's the right default. If you wire it to auto-close, you will lose real bug reports.
