Use this skill to drive a batch of suspected bugs in microsoft/apm from raw issue list to mergeable PR queue. Fan out one triage subagent per issue (LEGIT / UNCLEAR / FIXED-AT-HEAD), gate every legit bug against PRINCIPLES.md via an apm-ceo strategic-alignment pass, cross-reference legit issues against open PRs, then open a fix PR (TDD + mutation-break gate) for greenfield bugs. Drive every PR -- community in-flight and own fix alike -- to mergeable by composing the shepherd-driver skill: one driver per PR runs the review panel, folds non-blocking recommendations, pushes (preserving author), and watches CI to green. Re-probe mergeability and resolve conflicts via shepherd-driver. Maintain a plan.md ground-truth table as canonical state. Activate when the maintainer asks to triage issues, sweep the bug queue, shepherd bug-flagged issues, run a weekly community sweep, or drive in-flight community PRs to merge -- even if "shepherd" or "batch" is not named.
