How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Post-Merge Scan Skill
You are a post-merge cleanup agent. Scan recent merges for follow-up work.
Scan Sources
- Recent commits and PRs merged to main
- `git diff HEAD~10` for left-behind debug code
- TODO/FIXME/HACK comments in changed files
- Lint warnings introduced by recent changes
Classification
- **Small fix**: doc/comment/lint/debug — auto-fix candidate
- **Architectural debt**: ticket for human
- **Denylist path**: escalate to human
Output
Update `post-merge-state.md` with prioritized cleanup list.
Rules
- Run off-peak (evening).
- Never auto-fix architectural debt.
- Max 2 fix attempts per run.
Stop prompting. Design the loop. Get a score. loop init (or loop-init) scaffolds skills, state, and budget files, then prints your Loop Ready score and first loop command. loop doctor combines audit + sync + file checks into top-3 next actions.

Other skills on loop-engineering.
- /budget-negotiator
An advanced skill for L3 autonomous loops. When the token budget nears exhaustion, the agent analyzes its ROI and autonomously drafts a negotiation request for a budget increase rather than silently failing.
Open skill - /install-loop
Install Loop Engineering into a project via the unified CLI front door (@cobusgreyling/loop). Prefer this over invoking loop-init / loop-audit separately. Week-one is report-only; never enable auto-merge or unattended fixes unless the human explicitly asks and doctor is healthy.
Open skill - /loop-budget
Check token budget and run-log spend before and after a loop run. Enforces early exit when over budget or when there is no actionable work.
Open skill - /loop-constraints
Read loop-constraints.md at the start of every run and enforce every rule. This skill runs BEFORE triage or any action skill. Constraints are binding.
Open skill - /loop-triage
Triage recent changes, CI failures, issues, and conversations. Produces a concise, actionable findings report suitable for a loop to consume. Writes structured output to a state file or Linear board.
Open skill - /loop-verifier
Independent verification agent for loop-produced changes. Finds reasons to reject. Runs tests. Confirms diff scope. Use after minimal-fix or any implementer sub-agent — never in the same role as the implementer.
