PR Status
Show enriched status for all open PRs created by you across your GitHub org: CI checks, approvals, unresolved review threads, and linked Jira discussion. Also shows recently closed PRs.
The GitHub org is auto-detected from the current repo's origin remote, falling back to the most common org across a multi-repo workspace's member repos when the cwd repo has no GitHub remote of its own (a workspace root is often deliberately local-only). Override via the PR_STATUS_ORG env var or a first positional argument. When nothing resolves the scripts exit non-zero with an explanatory message rather than returning an empty list.
The output of this skill is the rendered dashboard (steps 3–6). Fetching without rendering is not a valid run.
Usage
/pr-status
Instructions
Re-run the fetch scripts and date on every invocation, even seconds after the last one — never reuse earlier output or extrapolate the timestamp.
1. Fetch
Open PRs (org-wide), one JSON object per line {number, title, owner, repo}:
~/.agents/skills/pr-status/scripts/gh-pr-list-open.sh
Recently closed PRs (3-day lookback, 4 on Tuesdays; optional second arg overrides), one JSON object per line {number, title, owner, repo, closedAt}:
~/.agents/skills/pr-status/scripts/gh-pr-list-closed.sh
2. Fetch PR details
Group the PRs (open and closed) by owner/repo; one batch GraphQL call per group:
~/.agents/skills/pr-status/scripts/gh-pr-details.sh {owner} {repo} {number1} {number2} ...
Output is a JSON array, one object per PR:
[
{
"number": 123,
"base": "main",
"isDraft": false,
"mergeState": "CLEAN",
"reviewDecision": "APPROVED",
"approvers": ["alice"],
"unresolvedThreads": 2,
"checksState": "SUCCESS",
"lastPush": "2026-04-15T09:30:00Z",
"mergeCommitSha": "abc123...",
"mergeCommitAt": "2026-04-15T10:00:00Z",
"mainChecksState": "SUCCESS",
"readyAt": "2026-04-14T15:32:11Z"
}
]
Map checksState values: SUCCESS → ✅ / FAILURE or ERROR → ❌ / PENDING or EXPECTED → ⏳ / null → —
If the batch script is unavailable, the per-PR scripts in the same directory (gh-pr-checks.sh, gh-pr-reviews.sh, gh-pr-threads.sh, gh-pr-merge-state.sh) or plain gh pr view/checks cover the same fields.
2b. Fetch the normalized feedback inventory
For each owner/repo group of open PRs, make one bounded read-only inventory call:
~/.agents/skills/pr-status/scripts/gh-pr-feedback.py {owner} {repo} {number1} {number2} ...
The schema-v1 JSON envelope contains records, partial, errors, and explicit caps. Records
cover inline review roots and replies, submitted review summaries/states, top-level conversation,
and changed-file CI annotations. A record carries stable identity plus updatedAt, updateKey,
stateKey, author kind, lifecycle, semantic type, actionability candidate status, bounded body/gist, and the
GitHub IDs needed by the correct response surface. Pending draft review comments are not observable
through normal APIs and are never represented as fetched feedback.
Treat actionability: candidate as a triage hint, not a validated claim or permission to act. Human
and bot feedback still needs agent judgment against the code and requirements. Suppress
self-authored, resolved, outdated, dismissed, approval, and automated-status records from suggested
actions while retaining them in the factual inventory. When partial is true, render the available
data, name each failed source, and do not mark absent feedback as handled.
The existing unresolvedThreads detail remains a compatibility fallback for other status consumers;
this skill uses inventory identities and update times—not count changes—to detect feedback events.
If the inventory helper is unavailable, fall back to the old count-only behavior and label feedback
identity as unavailable rather than issuing overlapping ad-hoc comment fetches.
3. Fetch linked Jira discussion
For every distinct Jira key found while rendering (open PRs: branch first, then title; recently closed PRs: title; using /[A-Z]+-\d+/), fetch its newest Jira comment. Include both open and recently closed PRs when they carry a ticket key; fetch each key once, even if multiple PRs use it. Calls may run in parallel:
mcp__jira__jira_get
path: /rest/api/3/issue/{key}/comment
queryParams:
orderBy: -created
maxResults: 1
jq: '{total: .total, latest: (.comments[0] // null | if . == null then null else {author: .author.displayName, accountId: .author.accountId, created: .created} end)}'
For a key with comments, render 💬 {total} · {latest author first name or @accountId} · {relative age}. Render — for zero comments and ? if its lookup fails. Do not show comment bodies in this status dashboard. Jira comment failures are non-fatal: render all PR data and add _Some linked Jira discussion could not be fetched._ beneath the affected table(s).
4. Render as tables
Before the tables, output a timestamp line: _Checked at HH:MM:SS_ in local time, 24h (date '+%H:%M:%S', not date -u). Relative-time math against lastPush / readyAt / closedAt works in UTC since those are Z-suffixed; only the displayed timestamp is local.
Recently closed — render first, one table with a Repo column. Skip the section if the closed list is empty.
Recently closed
| PR | Repo | Ticket | Jira 💬 | Title | Status | CI | Ready | Wait | Closed |

Open PRs — render after closed, grouped by repo: heading #### Open — {repo} then a table per repo that has open PRs.

APPROVED, CISUCCESS, sync ✅, zero threads, andmergeStateCLEAN; else 🚧
Truncate titles: ~50 chars in the closed table, ~25 in the open table (13 columns — wide rows break Claude Code's table renderer).
5. Summarise changes
After the tables, list deltas since the last check in this session as bullets (e.g. #6142 CI: ❌ → ✅). Treat an increase in a linked ticket's comment total as a delta, e.g. AB-649 Jira discussion: 2 → 3 (Jane, 40m). Do not report a count decrease as a discussion update.
For PR feedback, compare the inventory by identity; the same identity with a later updatedAt is
an edit, not a second comment. Use stateKey to detect lifecycle-only changes such as resolution or
outdating; they may be shown as deltas but are not new actionable candidates. Report each new or
materially edited candidate once with PR, source, author, lifecycle, semantic type, and bounded
gist. Never infer identity from a
thread count. If a partial fetch prevents comparison, say so. Otherwise say "No changes." Render
both tables in full either way — the point of repeated checks is current state at a glance.
6. Suggest next actions (transition-driven)
Surface a Suggested actions bullet list — copy-pasteable commands for PRs that just became actionable this tick. Read-only: point at commands, never run them.
Fire on transitions, not standing state: on the first check of a session list the currently-actionable PRs as baseline; on later ticks list a PR only when it crosses into an actionable state.
| Transition this tick | Suggested command |
|---|---|
| → 🚀 LGTM (newly mergeable) | /ready-to-merge {n} |
| new or materially edited feedback candidate, or → 👎 changes requested | /review-comments {n} |
| → ⚠️ behind (fell behind base) | /rebase main (on that PR's branch) |
| → 🔔 awaiting review (no longer draft, still no reviewers) | gh pr edit {n} --repo {owner}/{repo} --add-reviewer <handle> |
Order most actionable first (🚀 → 💬 → ⚠️ → 🔔); omit the section when no PR changed state.
Use the normalized record's author and bounded gist in the bullet. Keep its identity and
updatedAt in session state so later polls distinguish an edit from a duplicate. Do not issue a
second comment/thread query. When the inventory is partial, suggest a safe recheck and name the
failed source instead of claiming that the candidate set is complete.
7. Next-tick recommendation
End with one cadence line for /watch-prs to pace from (harmless on a one-shot run):
next-tick: {hot|warm|cold} (~{N}s) — {reason}
- hot (~180s) — CI ⏳ on any open non-draft PR, a push in the last ~5 min, or a transition this tick
- warm (~600s) — open non-draft PRs awaiting review or carrying threads, nothing in flight
- cold (1200 → 1800s) — nothing actionable soon; escalate 1200 → 1500 → 1800 across consecutive cold ticks, reset on any non-cold tick
If the fetch failed, emit next-tick: warm (~600s) — incomplete fetch. Keep the reason to a few words; no other pacing commentary.
If the invoking prompt asks you to reschedule via ScheduleWakeup, do that only after everything above is printed — the turn ends when it returns.
