Every maintainer knows the morning dread. Forty notifications, and before writing a line of code you answer the same four questions in the same order: Is this a duplicate? Is it even a bug?
Which version are you on? Can you give me a minimal reproduction? Hammock is an overnight triage sloth.
A durable Temporal workflow fetches new and updated issues idempotently, classifies them with a local Gemma 4 model, recalls duplicate reports with embeddings, asks Gemma to adjudicate whether two issues share the same technical root cause, and drafts the reply that asks for exactly what's missing. Then it stops. It applies allowlisted, reversible labels on its own.
Everything public: comments, closes, locks, assignments waits in a local queue for one maintainer tap. Hammock can propose anything. It can only do the reversible things alone.
Labels on an allowlist: automatic. Comments, closes, locks, and assignments: your tap.
The person who gets to be a little lazier is a maintainer at 7am: instead of forty tabs, they get a short queue of drafts to approve, edit, or discard.

It labels, spots duplicates and drafts replies — and touches nothing public without your tap.

Most AI triage bots call hosted models on public webhooks and post directly to repositories without supervision. Hammock runs 100% locally, overnight, durably via Temporal, and strictly refuses to speak in public without maintainer approval — proving every action with an immutable receipt.
