The Take

Instead of chasing unreliable "AI fingerprint" heuristics, this action flags PRs using three blunt but practical signals — Velocity (how fast complex changes appear), Shotgun (many unrelated PRs from the same account), and Ghost (account age). It’s a small, sensible tool you can drop into a repo (bundled dist, single triage comment) that will immediately reduce the noise; just watch for false positives around rapid expert contributors and consider tuning thresholds.

Target Audience

Open-source maintainers and repository owners who review external PRs

Treliq – PR triage CLI with 20 signals and optional LLM scoring

Deduping PRs and scoring them with 20 heuristic signals is a concrete, useful idea — especially the scope-coherence signal and embedding auto-fallback for providers without embeddings. The repo supports CLI, a persistent server, GitHub App integration and an explicit --model flag for provider flexibility, but it's still early and adoption/UX examples (ranked output, workflows) are thin — promising engineering scaffolding that needs real-world validation.
