+# SIG cli maintainers Guide
+
+## Sustaining engineering tasks
+
+The following tasks need to be performed consistently as a part of maintaining the health
+of SIG cli.  We will be developing an oncall rotation for working on these tasks, where
+the oncall is responsible to doing each task daily.
+
+### Issue triage
+
+Routinely monitor the newly filed issues and triage them to make sure we identify regressions.
+
+[Kubectl repo](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubectl/issues)
+
+[Kubernetes repo](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20label%3Asig%2Fcli)
+
+Look for:
+
+- Requests for help
+  - Don't spend a lot of time on these, but answer and close them if it is easy  
+- Regressions and bugs
+  - Find the root cause
+  - Triage the severity
+  - Issues only occurring in old versions but not in new versions are less severe
+- Simple issues for new contributors
+  - Label these with "for-new-contributors"
+  - Give them a priority
+  - Make sure they are
+    - Small
+    - Well scoped
+    - In areas of code with minimal technical debt
+    - In areas of code with strong ownership already
+- Feature requests
+  - Do one of
+    - Close them with an explanation along the lines of "Don't have capacity right now, try reopening in 6 months"
+    - Label them with a "priority"
+
+### Test triage
+
+Monitor [test grid](https://k8s-testgrid.appspot.com/sig-cli-master)
+and make sure the tests are passing.
+
+If any tests are failing, debug them and send a fix.  Ask for help if you get stuck.
+
+### PR review
+
+Make sure PRs aren't getting stuck without attention.  If reviewers routinely don't respond
+to PRs within a few days, we should take those reviewers out of the list.
+
+Look through the PR list with [SIG cli](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr%20is%3Aopen%20label%3Asig%2Fcli)
+
+## New contributor assistance
+
+Look through issues labeled "for-new-contributors" that are assigned, and make sure they are active.
+If they haven't had activity in a couple days, ping the assignee and ask if help is needed.
+
+## Per-release tasks
+
+### At the start of the dev cycle
+
+- Write planned features for each release
+  - Use the [template](../template.md)
+
+### During code-freeze
+
+- Daily look at issues labeled with []sig/cli in the milestone](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20label%3Asig%2Fcli%20milestone%3Av1.9%20) and make sure they are owned and make progress
+  - **Note:** You will need to update the milestone in the link to the current milestone
