Description
The Organization Health Report (2026-05-04) shows 48 pull requests open for 30+ days in the github org. With only 51 total open PRs, this means 94% of the open PR backlog is stale. Most are likely draft PRs, Copilot-generated PRs, or dependabot PRs that were superseded.
The current 7-day PR merge velocity is strong (80 opened, 92 closed), but the stale tail is growing unchecked.
Expected Impact
Reducing the stale PR count from 48 to near 0 will:
- Clean up the open PR backlog
- Give an accurate picture of actual work in progress
- Reduce noise in PR dashboards and org health metrics
Suggested Agent
Draft PR Cleanup agent or any agent with PR triage capabilities. Batch-close PRs that are: (1) superseded by merged PRs, (2) draft PRs with no recent activity, (3) Dependabot PRs with conflicts.
Estimated Effort
Medium (1-4 hours) — requires reading each PR to classify and close appropriately.
