# 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. Open PRs come from the org-wide search index unioned with a direct `gh pr list` sweep of the cwd repo and workspace members, so a PR opened seconds ago is listed even before the index catches up.
**The output of this skill is the rendered dashboard** (steps 3–6). Fetching without rendering is not a valid run.
## Usage
```
/pr-status
```
## Checkout helper
`gh-pr-checkout.py` and the review-pr snapshot collector share
[`scripts/github_remote.py`](scripts/github_remote.py) for remote identity parsing. Both accept
single-label `*.github.com` aliases only for SSH, not HTTP(S); they do not resolve arbitrary SSH
configuration aliases. Repository, exact-head, and clean-tree checks still govern local reads.
## Shared inline-comment reader
[`scripts/gh-pr-inline-comments.sh`](scripts/gh-pr-inline-comments.sh) owns the legacy REST
inline-comment projection used by `review-comments` and `reply-comments`. It takes
`<owner> <repo> <number>` and requires Bash plus authenticated `gh`. Missing tools and API failures
return nonzero; stdout, stderr and the API exit status pass through without retries. This preserves
the old single-page response, not a complete or normalized feedback inventory. The consumers retain
forwarding `gh-pr-comments.sh` entry points for existing permission rules. The distinct composite
report in `review-pr/scripts/gh-pr-comments.sh` is unchanged.
## 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}`:
```bash
~/.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}`:
```bash
~/.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:
```bash
~/.agents/skills/pr-status/scripts/gh-pr-details.sh {owner} {repo} {number1} {number2} ...
```
Output is a JSON array, one object per PR:
```json
[
{
"number": 123,
"base": "main",
"isDraft": false,
"mergeable": "MERGEABLE",
"mergeState": "CLEAN",
"behindBy": 0,
"reviewDecision": "APPROVED",
"approvers": ["alice"],
"reviewRequestCount": 0,
"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 → `—`
`reviewRequestCount` is the exact number of outstanding review requests, from the request
connection's `totalCount` rather than a capped page: each requested user or team counts once, with
no team expansion. It excludes submitted reviews, approvals or withdrawn requests. `null` means
unknown (missing field or unavailable data) — never treat it as zero.
`mergeable` is GitHub's `MERGEABLE`/`CONFLICTING`/`UNKNOWN` verdict, reported independently of
review gates. `behindBy` counts commits on the PR's actual base branch that its head lacks, from a
second batched compare query (branch names travel as GraphQL variables). It is `null` for closed and
cross-repository (fork) PRs and whenever the count is unavailable — unknown, never zero. A failed
compare query only warns on stderr and leaves those counts `null`; the other details stay valid.
The collector requires Bash, authenticated `gh` and `jq`.
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 other fields but not an exact request count: treat `reviewRequestCount` as unknown. Do not
derive it from the length of a capped `gh pr view` reviewer list, historical reviews, request
timeline events, or the viewer-specific inbound review-request queue (`gh-pr-review-requests.py`).
The fallbacks also lack `behindBy`; treat it as unknown.
### 2b. Fetch the normalized feedback inventory
For each `owner/repo` group of open PRs, make one bounded read-only inventory call:
```bash
~/.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. Inline records also carry `needsClosure`:
true for an outdated, unresolved thread with no self-authored comment, which stays open on GitHub
until someone answers or resolves it. It does not change `actionability`; only the review-comments
and reply-comments closure flow acts on it. When `partial` is true, render the available
data, name each failed source, and do not mark absent feedback as handled.
The helper requires Python 3.10+ and authenticated `gh`. Argument errors exit nonzero; API failures
return a machine-readable partial envelope, so consumers must inspect `partial` and `errors`.
For body-free polling, `--compact` adds `recordFormat: compact` and projects each record to
`identity`, `updateKey`, `stateKey`, `pr`, `source`, `lifecycle`, `selfAuthored`, `hasLaterSelfReply`
when present, `authorKind`, `reviewState`, `semanticType`, and `actionability`. The envelope retains
repository scope, PRs, caps, and all partial/error evidence. It reduces output/context, not API traffic;
bodies, gists, locations, author names, and response targets are absent, not empty. Classification
hints must not justify semantic suppression without reading new/edited bodies. The normal inventory
above is unchanged and remains this dashboard's source of gists.
Complete compact polls also return `fingerprint`, `recordCount`, and `unchanged: false`. A caller
with an intact, fully processed session-local snapshot may pass `--if-fingerprint SHA256` with
`--compact`. If a fresh complete inventory matches, the response has `unchanged: true`, the same
fingerprint/count, and omits `records` entirely (not an empty list). The digest covers the full
bounded inventory including content, scope, lifecycle, self-replies, and caps, before projection.
A changed snapshot returns compact rows. Partial responses always return available rows/errors and
never a reusable fingerprint. No state is written to disk. Never use conditional omission for a
baseline, explicit recheck, lost/pruned ledger, or pending unprocessed work; the feedback watcher
owns the exact eligibility rules. Default full inventory and focused selection remain unchanged.
The feedback watcher uses compact polls, then hydrates selected new/edited records with:
```bash
~/.agents/skills/pr-status/scripts/gh-pr-feedback.py OWNER REPO PR_NUMBER \
--identity IDENTITY --expected-update-key UPDATE_KEY
```
Focused selection is incompatible with `--compact`, requires one PR, and returns a full record with
a body cap of 65,536 characters only when its update key matches. Inspect `partial`, require
`selection.status: matched` and `bodyTruncated: false`, and recheck fresh lifecycle/self-reply facts
before using its body. Missing/edited identities return no selected record; never validate old text.
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`).
The tables are produced by the formatter, not composed by hand, so Pi and Claude Code receive the
same markdown. Merge the list rows, the details rows and the Jira summaries into one JSON document
and pipe it in (a heredoc is fine):
```bash
~/.agents/skills/pr-status/scripts/format-pr-tables.py <<'JSON'
{"now": "2026-04-15T10:00:00Z",
"closed": [{"number": 120, "owner": "acme", "repo": "widgets", "title": "...", "closedAt": "...",
"readyAt": "...", "mergeCommitSha": "...", "mergeCommitAt": "...", "mainChecksState": "SUCCESS",
"jira": {"total": 3, "author": "Jane Doe", "created": "..."}}],
"open": [{"number": 123, "owner": "acme", "repo": "widgets", "title": "...", "branch": "...", "base": "main",
"isDraft": false, "mergeable": "MERGEABLE", "mergeState": "CLEAN", "behindBy": 0,
"reviewDecision": "APPROVED", "approvers": ["alice"], "reviewRequestCount": 0,
"unresolvedThreads": 0, "checksState": "SUCCESS", "lastPush": "...", "readyAt": "...",
"jira": null}]}
JSON
```
`now` is the UTC instant from `date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ`; relative times are computed from it.
Each row is the `gh-pr-details.sh` object plus `owner`, `repo` and `title` from the list scripts
(`closedAt` for closed rows) and a `jira` summary: `{total, author, created}` from step 3, `null`
when the PR has no ticket or zero comments, `{"error": true}` when the lookup failed. Keep rows in
list order. The formatter needs Python 3.10+ only; invalid JSON exits nonzero with a message, so
fix the input rather than hand-writing a table.
Reproduce the formatter output verbatim: never rewrite or paraphrase a title, reflow columns, add
links inside cells, or drop the `Links:` / `Full names:` lines. The formatter enforces the layout
contract below, which is also the reason the output is portable across harnesses:
- PR cells are plain `#123`; the `Links:` line after each table carries the markdown links, so
terminals without hyperlink support print URLs there instead of inside the table.
- Open titles are capped at 25 characters, closed titles at 50, Branch at 30, and Target is capped
at 30 (after the 📌 marker) with `…`. Every truncated Target/Branch is listed in full on the
`Full names:` line. Truncation keeps the factual prefix; `|`, backticks and other markdown
characters are escaped.
- Narrow widths: every cell contains no unbroken token longer than 30 characters, so a renderer
wraps within columns rather than tearing rows; no column is ever dropped. Pi renders the table
down to ~53 columns and shows raw markdown below that; Claude Code wraps cells natively.
**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 |
|----|------|--------|---------|-------|--------|----|-------|------|--------|
- **PR**: plain `#123`; the link `[#123](https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/pull/123)` goes on the `Links:` line
- **Repo**: repository name
- **Ticket**: Jira ID matched by `/[A-Z]+-\d+/` against the PR title, or `—`
- - **Status**: 🔀 merged / 🗑️ closed unmerged — emoji only
+ - **Status**: 🔀 merged / 🚫 closed unmerged — emoji only
- **CI**: post-merge checks on the merge commit (`mainChecksState`), only if merged and `mergeCommitAt` is within the last 2 days — otherwise `—`
- **Ready**: relative time since `readyAt` (short units: `Nm`, `Nh`, `Nd`)
- **Wait**: `closedAt - readyAt` — how long the PR waited for review/merge
- **Closed**: relative time since close
**Open PRs** — render after closed, grouped by repo: heading `#### Open — {repo}` then a table per repo that has open PRs.
| PR | Ticket | Jira 💬 | Title | Branch | Target | Ready | Push | Sync | CI | Approved | Threads | LGTM |
|----|--------|---------|-------|--------|--------|-------|------|------|----|----------|---------|------|
- **PR**: plain `#123` as above
- **Ticket**: Jira ID matched against branch name first, then title, or `—`
- **Branch**: head branch minus conventional-commit prefix and ticket prefix (`feat/AB-1107-cta-clicked-event` → `cta-clicked-event`); truncate past ~30 chars with `…`
- **Target**: base branch. `main`/`master` are default branches — plain text. Anything else is a stacked PR: prefix with 📌, capped at 30 characters with `…` and listed in full under `Full names:`
- **Sync**: against the PR's actual base (📌 stacked PRs included), regardless of `mergeState` or review state; first match wins: `mergeable` `CONFLICTING` (or `mergeState` `DIRTY`) → 💥 conflict; `behindBy` > 0 → ⏪; `behindBy` null with `mergeState` `BEHIND` → ⏪; `mergeable` `MERGEABLE` with `behindBy` 0 → ✅; anything else → `?`. Behind is exactly ⏪ — no count or text, so the cell never wraps; `behindBy` stays in the collected data for the change summary. Sync is never `—`: `BLOCKED` only means a merge gate such as approval is unmet
- **CI**: ✅ / ❌ / ⏳ — emoji only
- **Ready**: 🚧 if `isDraft`, else relative time since `readyAt`
- **Push**: relative time since `lastPush`
- **Approved**: from the table below
- **Threads**: `💬 N` if N > 0, else `—`
- **LGTM**: 🚀 if not draft, base `main`/`master` (stacked PRs merge via their parent), `APPROVED`, CI `SUCCESS`, zero threads, and `mergeState` `CLEAN`; else 🚧. `CLEAN` already excludes conflicts and, where branch protection requires it, a stale branch, so Sync does not gate LGTM
**Approved cell** — first matching row wins:
| Evidence | Cell |
|---|---|
| `reviewDecision` `APPROVED` | one ✅ per approver |
- | `REVIEW_REQUIRED` with approvers | one ☑️ per approver (stale approvals) |
+ | `REVIEW_REQUIRED` with approvers | one 🔄 per approver (stale approvals) |
| `CHANGES_REQUESTED` | 👎 |
| Draft with no approvers | `—` |
- | Awaiting review, `reviewRequestCount` 0 | ⚠️ 0 |
+ | Awaiting review, `reviewRequestCount` 0 | 🔕 0 |
| Awaiting review, `reviewRequestCount` N > 0 | 🔔 N (e.g. 🔔 2) |
| Awaiting review, `reviewRequestCount` null or missing | 🔔 |
Awaiting review means not draft, no approvers and no changes requested. Render one bell with the
count — never a bell per reviewer — and no question mark: unknown stays a bare 🔔, distinct from
- ⚠️ 0 in session state. The column keeps its width; the count never changes the ✅, ☑️, 👎 or
+ 🔕 0 in session state. The column keeps its width; the count never changes the ✅, 🔄, 👎 or
LGTM rules.
+ Table glyphs are natively wide emoji only, never a narrow symbol made wide by U+FE0F (such as
+ ⚠️, ☑️ or 🗑️): Pi pads those to two columns while xterm.js Unicode 11 terminals such as Orca
+ draw them in one, which shifts every later border in the row.
+
Title truncation (50 characters closed, 25 open) is applied by the formatter; the open table has 13 columns and 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: ❌ → ✅`, `#6150 requests: 🔔 2 → ⚠️ 0`). 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.
+ After the tables, list deltas since the last check in this session as bullets (e.g. `#6142 CI: ❌ → ✅`, `#6150 requests: 🔔 2 → 🔕 0`). 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}` |
| → ⏪ (fell behind its base) | `/rebase main` (on that PR's branch); stacked: `/rebase parent {base}` |
- | → ⚠️ 0 awaiting review with no requests | `gh pr edit {n} --repo {owner}/{repo} --add-reviewer <handle>` |
+ | → 🔕 0 awaiting review with no requests | `gh pr edit {n} --repo {owner}/{repo} --add-reviewer <handle>` |
Fire the reviewer suggestion only for a known zero: a PR enters that state when it leaves draft with
no requests, or its last outstanding request is withdrawn or answered without approval. 🔔 N means
requests are already pending and a bare 🔔 means the count is unknown — suggest nothing for either.
The ⏪ suggestion fires when Sync enters ⏪ from any other state, regardless of review or
approval state: rebasing before approval avoids invalidating it later. A PR already ⏪ stays
quiet; a growing count is not a new transition (mention the `behindBy` count in the bullet).
- Order most actionable first (🚀 → 💬 → ⏪ → ⚠️ 0 no requests); omit the section when no PR
+ Order most actionable first (🚀 → 💬 → ⏪ → 🔕 0 no requests); 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 (watch context only)
Omit this line on a direct `/pr-status` run. When invoked as a `/watch-prs` tick, end with one
cadence line for the watcher to pace from:
```
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`, follow its ordering: `/watch-prs` ticks call `ScheduleWakeup` first and print the dashboard as the closing message, because text written before the call is collapsed into a one-line summary.
