+name: gitcrawl
+description: Use for local GitHub issue/PR archive search, sync freshness, clusters, durable maintainer triage, gh-shim cache reads, and Gitcrawl repo/release work.
+---
+
+# Gitcrawl
+
+Use local archive data first for GitHub issue and pull request questions. Browse
+or hit live GitHub APIs only when the local archive is stale, missing the
+requested scope, or the user asks for current external context.
+
+## Sources
+
+- DB: `~/.config/gitcrawl/gitcrawl.db`
+- Config: `~/.config/gitcrawl/config.toml`
+- Cache: `~/.config/gitcrawl/cache`
+- Vectors: `~/.config/gitcrawl/vectors`
+- Repo: `~/GIT/_Perso/gitcrawl`
+- Preferred CLI: `gitcrawl`; fallback to `go run ./cmd/gitcrawl` from the repo if the installed binary is stale
+
+## Freshness
+
+For recent/current questions, check freshness before analysis:
+
+```bash
+sqlite3 ~/.config/gitcrawl/gitcrawl.db \
+  "select coalesce(max(finished_at), '') from sync_runs where status = 'success';"
+```
+
+Routine refresh:
+
+```bash
+gitcrawl doctor
+gitcrawl refresh owner/repo
+```
+
+Targeted refresh:
+
+```bash
+gitcrawl sync owner/repo --numbers 123,456 --with pr-details
+```
+
+For agent-driven discovery, prefer bounded freshness:
+
+```bash
+gitcrawl search issues "query" -R owner/repo --state open --sync-if-stale 5m --json number,title,url
+```
+
+## Query Workflow
+
+1. Resolve scope: owner/repo, issue/PR number, cluster id, keyword, label, author, state, or date range.
+2. Check freshness for recent/current requests.
+3. Use CLI for normal reads; use read-only SQL for precise counts/rankings.
+4. Report absolute date spans, repo names, issue/PR numbers, cluster ids, and known gaps.
+
+Common commands:
+
+```bash
+gitcrawl search issues "query" -R owner/repo --state open --json number,title,url
+gitcrawl clusters owner/repo --sort size --min-size 5
+gitcrawl cluster-detail owner/repo --id <id>
+gitcrawl gh pr view 123 -R owner/repo --json number,title,state,url
+```
+
+When the installed CLI lacks a new feature, build or run from
+`~/GIT/_Perso/gitcrawl` before concluding the feature is missing.
+
+## Maintainer Boundaries
+
+`close-thread`, `close-cluster`, exclusions, and canonical-member choices are
+local maintainer overrides; they do not write back to GitHub. Set
+`GITCRAWL_GH_PATH` explicitly when using the gh shim so it cannot recurse into
+itself.
+
+## Verification
+
+For repo edits, prefer existing Go gates:
+
+```bash
+GOWORK=off go test ./...
+```
+
+Then run targeted CLI smoke for the touched surface, for example:
+
+```bash
+gitcrawl doctor --json
+gitcrawl status --json
+gitcrawl search issues "test" -R openclaw/gitcrawl --state open --limit 5
+```
