ClawSweeper is an AI-assisted maintenance bot that scans GitHub issues and pull requests to suggest which items may be safe to close. It is designed for open-source maintainers who accumulate stale discussions, outdated reports, duplicate requests, or abandoned contributions over time. The project runs across issues and PRs on a scheduled basis, reviewing each item and producing a reasoned recommendation instead of simply closing content automatically. Its goal is to reduce maintainer workload while keeping the decision process visible and reviewable. ClawSweeper is especially useful for repositories where old issue queues make it difficult to identify what still needs attention. It functions as a focused repository hygiene tool rather than a general-purpose project management platform.
