Description
The Prompt Clustering report (discussion #47062) shows the overall Copilot PR merge rate has slid to 76.5% (▼ -4.3% over the last 8 runs, from 80.8%). The single biggest drag is the wip / progress / started cluster: 37 PRs merging at only 37.8% — these read as work-in-progress or abandoned task descriptions. Triage the open PRs in that cluster (close abandoned ones, nudge revivable ones) and add a lightweight pre-flight guard/guidance that discourages opening PRs whose titles/descriptions are bare WIP placeholders.
Expected Impact
Removes the largest single drag on merge throughput and reverses the multi-day merge-rate decline; reduces reviewer load from never-merging WIP noise.
Suggested Agent
Auto-Triage / PR Triage agent.
Estimated Effort
Medium (1-4 hours).
