Automating open-source repository maintenance with Claude Code involves routing tasks into dedicated skills for issue triage, PR review, and release preparation. This approach requires a configured repo using .mstack/config.yml and the GitHub CLI for reading and approved modifications.

Triage GitHub issues and detect duplicate spam using Claude Code by categorizing items, flagging suspected bots, and identifying likely duplicates. This issue triage process keeps final judgment with the maintainer through human-in-the-loop approvals before any GitHub-changing actions occur.

You can use Claude Code to review pull requests and check for breaking changes by pre-screening security signals, test coverage gaps, quality heuristics, and CI status. This pull request review process flags breaking-change indicators before you approve any modifications.

Before automating GitHub workflows with Claude Code, you need to run the setup command to scan existing labels and conventions, which writes the .mstack/config.yml file. This repository setup ensures consistent backlog handling and requires the GitHub CLI (gh) for reading data.
