timmy-home backlog triage report (228 open issues)

Analysis of Timmy_Foundation/timmy-home backlog:

- 228 open issues, 3 open PRs, 0 older than 30 days
- Timmy has 33% of issues (76) — needs redistribution
- 19 batch-pipeline issues are auto-merge candidates
- 16 issues need stale status verification (kimi-done, claw-code)
- ~9 unassigned issues need owners
- ~140+ issues have no labels

Recommendations:
- Immediate: close done-done, assign unassigned, auto-merge training data
- Short-term: label hygiene, epic decomposition, PR cleanup
- Long-term: backlog cap (150), weekly triage cadence, load balancing

Health: Yellow — fresh but growing, labeling gaps, Timmy overloaded

+## Summary
+
+| Metric | Count |
+|--------|-------|
+| Total open items | 231 |
+| Open issues | 228 |
+| Open PRs | 3 |
+| Issues older than 30 days | 0 |
+
+The backlog has grown from 220 (per #1127 triage) to 228. However, no issues are older than 30 days — this is a recent accumulation, not legacy rot.
+
+---
+
+## Distribution by Assignee
+
+| Agent | Issues | % of Total | Assessment |
+|-------|--------|-----------|------------|
+| Timmy | 76 | 33% | Heaviest load — needs prioritization |
+| ezra | 39 | 17% | Moderate — batch pipeline work |
+| allegro | 28 | 12% | Moderate — fleet/infrastructure |
+| hermes | 19 | 8% | Orchestration tasks |
+| gemini | 15 | 7% | Review/docs |
+| Rockachopa | 14 | 6% | Architecture decisions |
+| claude | 9 | 4% | Code review |
+| claw-code | 7 | 3% | Code generation |
+| perplexity | 6 | 3% | Research |
+| codex-agent | 6 | 3% | Automation |
+| **unassigned** | **~9** | **4%** | Needs owners |
+
+---
+
+## Distribution by Label
+
+| Label | Count | Action |
+|-------|-------|--------|
+| batch-pipeline | 19 | Merge-ready training data — auto-merge candidates |
+| claw-code-in-progress | 8 | Verify status — may be stale |
+| fleet | 8 | Infrastructure — review by allegro |
+| kimi-done | 8 | Verify completion — close if truly done |
+| epic | 7 | Track progress — break into smaller issues if stalled |
+| progression | 7 | Fleet progression — monitor but don't close |
+| architecture | 4 | Needs review by Rockachopa |
+| study | 3 | Research — assign to perplexity |
+| phase-* | 5 | Long-term progression — leave open |
+| No label | ~140+ | Needs categorization |
+
+---
+
+## Triage Actions
+
+### 1. Auto-Merge Candidates (19 issues)
+
+The 19 `batch-pipeline` issues are training data generation tasks. If their PRs pass tests, merge:
+
+```
+Label: batch-pipeline
+Action: Check each for open PRs. Merge if green.
+Risk: Low — data-only changes
+```
+
+### 2. Stale Status Checks (16 issues)
+
+Verify these labels reflect current state:
+
+```
+Label: claw-code-in-progress (8)
+Action: Check if work is actually in progress. Close stale ones.
+
+Label: kimi-done (8)
+Action: Verify completion. Close if truly done or re-assign if not.
+```
+
+### 3. Unassigned Issues (~9)
+
+```
+Action: Assign to appropriate agent or close if no longer relevant.
+Priority: High — unassigned issues accumulate fastest.
+```
+
+### 4. Epic Tracking (7 issues)
+
+```
+Label: epic
+Action: Review progress. Break stalled epics into smaller actionable items.
+```
+
+### 5. No-Label Issues (~140+)
+
+```
+Action: Apply labels for categorization.
+Priority: Medium — improves searchability and routing.
+```
+
+---
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Immediate (this week)
+
+1. **Close done-done issues**: Run through `kimi-done` and `claw-code-in-progress` labels. Close anything completed.
+2. **Assign unassigned**: Route ~9 unassigned issues to agents.
+3. **Auto-merge training data**: The 19 `batch-pipeline` PRs are low-risk merges.
+
+### Short-term (this month)
+
+4. **Label the label-less**: Apply `batch-pipeline`, `bug`, `feature`, `process` labels to ~140+ unlabeled issues.
+5. **Epic decomposition**: Break stalled epics into P0/P1/P2 issues with clear owners.
+6. **Stale PR cleanup**: The 3 open PRs should be reviewed or closed.
+
+### Long-term
+
+7. **Backlog cap**: Set a soft cap (e.g., 150 open issues). When exceeded, mandatory triage before new issues.
+8. **Triage cadence**: Weekly automated triage via cron job.
+9. **Agent load balancing**: Timmy has 76 issues (33% of total). Redistribute.
+
+---
+
+## Health Assessment
+
+| Factor | Score | Notes |
+|--------|-------|-------|
+| Freshness | Good | No issues older than 30 days |
+| Labeling | Poor | ~60% of issues have no labels |
+| Assignment | Fair | 96% assigned, but Timmy is overloaded |
+| Staleness | Good | `claw-code-in-progress` needs verification |
+| Velocity | Unknown | Need merge-rate data |
+
+**Overall: Yellow.** The backlog is fresh but growing. Label hygiene and load balancing are the biggest gaps.
