+Simple GitHub Issue Triager (ready-to-PR)
+
+What this file contains
+- A single-file Python utility that fetches open issues from a GitHub repo,
+  heuristically classifies them (bug/feature/docs/question/other), prints a
+  concise summary and remembers which issue IDs it's already shown so future
+  runs only show new items.
+
+Why add it as a utility script?
+- Low-risk developer tooling that lives under scripts/ and helps maintainers
+  and contributors get a quick view of open issues.
+
+Usage (examples)
+- Run locally (recommended):
+    python scripts/triager.py --repo sentient-agi/ROMA
+
+- Use an env var to increase GitHub rate limits (recommended):
+    export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxx       # macOS / Linux / Termux
+    setx GITHUB_TOKEN "ghp_xxx"     # Windows (persist)
+    $env:GITHUB_TOKEN = "ghp_xxx"   # PowerShell (session)
+
+- Provide token inline (less secure):
+    python scripts/triager.py --repo sentient-agi/ROMA --
