MR Triage

Local GitLab MR dashboard and task tracker — replaces manually checking GitLab's MR page, and doubles as a todo list for work in progress, from "just started" through to shipped and released.

• server.mjs — Node http server, shells out to glab api for GitLab data
• public/ — static UI, polls the server every 15s
• SPEC.md — the v1 spec the MR-dashboard half of this implementation follows
• .scratch/wayfinder-spec/ — the planning map that produced that spec, built with the /wayfinder skill (named for the skill, not the app — the app was renamed from its original "wayfinder" working title to avoid confusion with the skill)

Run

npx mr-triage   # http://localhost:4931

No local clone needed — npx fetches and caches it on first use. Requires glab installed and authenticated, and Node ≥20.

Config lives in ~/.mr-triage/, created on first run:

• repos.json — the repos you're responsible for (every open MR in these shows up, not just ones you authored or are reviewing). A flat JSON list; copy repos.json.example to get started. Entries can be a plain project path, or { "path": "...", "short": "XX" } to override the group's avatar letter(s) — handy when several repos share a prefix (e.g. everything starting with webapp-) and the auto-derived initial collides.
• tasks.json — the Tasks tab's data. Written by starring an MR in the UI, or by the track-work skill below; you shouldn't need to hand-edit it.

Tracking work end-to-end (Tasks tab)

Star an MR to track it from wherever it currently is. To track a piece of work before an MR exists — right when you start it — install the track-work skill (one-time, requires Claude Code):

npx skills add sabasayer/mr-triage --global --agent claude-code -y

(Uses vercel-labs/skills. Later, npx skills update mr-triage picks up any changes to the skill.)

Then just ask Claude Code to track what you're working on, or wire it into a delivery skill like ship-work — see skills/track-work/SKILL.md.

Claude Code mods

Two independent Claude Code plugins in mods/. Both read this server (default port 4931), so mr-triage must be running. Install from a Claude Code terminal session, either or both:

/plugin install mr-triage-mrs --marketplace sabasayer/mr-triage
/plugin install mr-triage-banner --marketplace sabasayer/mr-triage

Answer y to add the marketplace and pick a scope.

• mr-triage-mrs — /mrs opens a pane of open MRs: pipeline status, conflicts/approved flags, MR number and Linear issue, grouped by repo, skipping authors you've hidden in the dashboard. Buttons in the pane switch to your tracked tasks (also /mr-tasks) and collapse it to one line. Only polls after /mrs has been run in the session.
• mr-triage-banner — a banner above the prompt showing the tracked task (see track-work) for the session's git repo and branch: state, Linear issue, MR, pipeline, a progress bar and a small character. If a /crew run for the same Linear ticket exists in ~/.crew, it adds a short crew line. Hidden when the branch has no task.

Development

git clone https://github.com/sabasayer/mr-triage.git && cd mr-triage
npm start       # http://localhost:4931
npm test        # self-check for the Tasks API
