Issue Breakdown
|
Spec covers adapting the personal grooming skill to a project-level skill that filters for DEV-labeled issues and integrates with the beeminder/blog label taxonomy (ZzZ, ZOM, resolution labels, etc.). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Only the issue author should close issues. Others should apply the resolution label and comment pinging the author instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adapted from personal grooming-session script with DEV-specific changes: - Filters for DEV-labeled issues only - Excludes ZzZ-labeled issues via jq filter - Shows labels in list output for at-a-glance context - Removes Firefox auto-open behavior Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- cmd_status now subtracts ZzZ-labeled issues from groomable count - filter_snoozed replaced O(n^2) per-item jq loop with single jq pass Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Delete unused get_snoozed_numbers function - cmd_status now reuses fetch_issues + filter_snoozed pipeline for accurate groomable count (no double-subtract or expired-snooze bugs) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Remove unused get_repo_snoozes and is_snoozed functions - Restore ZzZ/Snoozed line items in cmd_status, derived from the fetch+filter pipeline to avoid double-counting Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Label-aware grooming workflow for DEV issues with: - Label correctness analysis (work type, size/priority, status, content) - ZOM high-priority flagging - Update labels action with full taxonomy reference - Resolution label selection (zap, nix, cnr, dup) when closing - ZzZ label snooze as alternative to script-level snooze - Author-only close rule with mark-resolved fallback Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Replace GNU-specific `date -d` and `--iso-8601` with helper functions that detect the platform and use the appropriate syntax. This ensures the script works on both Linux (GNU coreutils) and macOS (BSD date). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
