Nemoclaw Maintainer Day

Runs the daytime maintainer loop for NemoClaw, prioritizing items labeled with the current version target. Picks the highest-value item, executes the right workflow (merge gate, salvage, security sweep, test gaps, hotspot cooling, or sequencing), and reports progress. Use during the workday to land PRs and close issues. Designed for /loop (e.g. /loop 10m /nemoclaw-maintainer-day). Trigger keywords - maintainer day, work on PRs, land PRs, make progress, what's next, keep going, maintainer loop.

NemoClaw Maintainer Day

Execute one pass of the maintainer loop, prioritizing version-targeted work.

Autonomy: push small fixes and approve when gates pass. Never merge. Stop and ask for merge decisions, architecture decisions, and unclear contributor intent.

Step 1: Check Version Progress

node --experimental-strip-types --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/version-target.ts
node --experimental-strip-types --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/version-progress.ts <version>

The first script determines the target version. The second shows shipped vs open.

Step 2: Pick One Action

From the open version-targeted items, pick the highest-value one:

Ready-now PR — green CI, no conflicts, no major CodeRabbit, has tests → follow MERGE-GATE.md
Salvage-now PR — close to ready, needs small fix → follow SALVAGE-PR.md
Security item — touches risky areas → follow SECURITY-SWEEP.md
Test-gap item — risky code with weak tests → follow TEST-GAPS.md
Hotspot cooling — repeated conflicts → follow HOTSPOTS.md
Sequencing needed — too large for one pass → follow SEQUENCE-WORK.md

If all version-targeted items are blocked, fall back to the general backlog. Productive work on non-labeled items is better than waiting.

Prefer finishing one almost-ready contribution over starting a new refactor.

Step 3: Execute

Follow the chosen workflow document. A good pass ends with one of:

a PR approved, a fix pushed, a test gap closed, a hotspot mitigated, or a blocker surfaced.

Step 4: Report Progress

Re-run the progress script and show the update:

node --experimental-strip-types --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/version-progress.ts <version>

If all version-targeted items are done, suggest running /nemoclaw-maintainer-evening early.

Update .nemoclaw-maintainer/state.json via the state script:

node --experimental-strip-types --no-warnings .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/scripts/state.ts history <action> <item> "<note>"

Commit Hygiene

The prek "Regenerate agent skills from docs" hook auto-stages .agents/skills/ files. Before every git add and git commit on a PR branch, run git reset HEAD .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-* to unstage them. Only commit skill files in dedicated skill PRs.

Stop and Ask When

Broad refactor or architecture decision needed
Contributor intent unclear and diff would change semantics
Multiple subsystems must change for CI
Sensitive security boundaries with unclear risk
Next step is opening a new PR or merging

/loop Integration

Designed for /loop 10m /nemoclaw-maintainer-day. Each pass should produce compact output: what was done, what changed, what needs the user. Check state.json history to avoid re-explaining prior context on repeat runs.
