Warden Sweep
Run a full-repository Warden sweep: scan files, verify findings, create a tracking issue, open draft PRs for validated issues, and organize the final report.
Requires: warden, gh, git, jq, uv.
Run commands from the repository root. Use the host's skill-root path for bundled scripts and references.
Output goes to .warden/sweeps/<run-id>/.

Load only the reference for the current phase:

| Phase 1 scan workflow | references/scan-phase.md |
| Phase 2 verification workflow | references/verify-phase.md |
| Phase 3 tracking issue workflow | references/issue-phase.md |
| Phase 4 patch and draft PR workflow | references/patch-phase.md |
| Phase 5 organize and final report workflow | references/organize-phase.md |

Workflow
Track progress across phases:
Phase Order
- Read
references/script-interfaces.md once before running scripts.
- Run Phase 1 from
references/scan-phase.md. Save runId and sweepDir.
- Run Phase 2 from
references/verify-phase.md. Verify every finding before patching.
- Run Phase 3 from
references/issue-phase.md. Continue if issue creation fails.
- Run Phase 4 from
references/patch-phase.md. Patch sequentially, one finding at a time.
- Run Phase 5 from
references/organize-phase.md.
- For interrupted or partial runs, read
references/resume-and-artifacts.md and continue from the first incomplete phase.
Non-Negotiable Rules
- Verify findings before creating fixes.
- Use draft PRs for generated patches.
- Branch every patch from the repository default branch.
- Patch findings sequentially; do not run patch workers in parallel.
- Skip existing entries in sweep artifacts instead of duplicating work.
- Record failures in sweep data and continue to the next finding when possible.
- Clean up each worktree after patch success or failure.
Final Response
After organizing, report:
## Sweep Complete
| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Files scanned | {filesScanned} |
| Findings verified | {verified} |
| PRs created | {prsCreated} |
| Security findings | {securityFindings} |
