council-resolve

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the need for time-consuming formal council reviews for routine thread resolutions, and automates the application of pending governance lifecycle verdicts (such as ownership transfers or triage decisions) that would otherwise require manual, error-prone state updates across channel files.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Informal Thread Resolution: Mark active threads as resolved without a formal council review, automatically triggering a 60-minute archive timer to keep workspaces clean.
• Lifecycle Verdict Application: Atomically apply pending governance verdicts (OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER, TRIAGE_ACCEPT, TRIAGE_REJECT) to channel state, with automatic file renaming to mark verdicts as consumed and prevent duplicate processing.
• MAD Task Integration: Automatically check off referenced task IDs in tasks.md for MAD-enabled channels when resolving threads, reducing manual follow-up work.
• Use Case: A software engineering team using the MAD Council governance system can use this skill to quickly close out completed feature threads or apply a pending triage accept verdict to move a work item to "ready" status without scheduling a full council review session.
