Github Pr Query

GitHub Pull Request Query Skill

This skill provides efficient querying of GitHub pull requests with built-in jq filtering support.

Important: jq Parameter is Optional

The --jq parameter is optional. When called without --jq, this skill returns schema and data size information instead of the full data. This prevents overwhelming responses with large datasets and helps you understand the data structure before querying.

Use --jq '.' to get all data, or use a more specific filter for targeted results.

Usage

Use this skill to query pull requests from the current repository or any specified repository.

Basic Query (Returns Schema Only)

To list pull requests from the current repository:

./query-prs.sh
# Returns schema and data size, not full data

Get All Data

To get all PR data:

./query-prs.sh --jq '.'

With Repository

To query a specific repository:

./query-prs.sh --repo owner/repo

With jq Filtering

Use the --jq argument to filter and transform the output:

# Get only open PRs
./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | select(.state == "open")'

# Get PR numbers and titles
./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | {number, title}'

# Get PRs by a specific author
./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | select(.author.login == "username")'

# Get merged PRs from last week
./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | select(.mergedAt != null)'

# Count PRs by state
./query-prs.sh --jq 'group_by(.state) | map({state: .[0].state, count: length})'

Common Options

• --state: Filter by state (open, closed, merged, all). Default: open
• --limit: Maximum number of PRs to fetch. Default: 30
• --repo: Repository in owner/repo format. Default: current repo
• --jq: (Optional) jq expression for filtering/transforming output. If omitted, returns schema info

Example Queries

Find large PRs (many changed files):

./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | select(.changedFiles > 10) | {number, title, changedFiles}'

Get PRs awaiting review:

./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | select(.reviewDecision == "REVIEW_REQUIRED") | {number, title, author: .author.login}'

List PRs with their labels:

./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | {number, title, labels: [.labels[].name]}'

Output Format

The script outputs JSON by default, making it easy to pipe through jq for additional processing.

Requirements

• GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated
• jq for filtering (installed by default on most systems)
