Groups by your authored PRs, PRs assigned to you (authored by others), and PRs by tracked authors (default groeneai). Shows the CH Inc sync state and whether each PR was ever approved; excludes already-merged PRs. Use when asked for "good PRs", merge-ready PRs, or PRs blocked only on the sync job. |

Good PRs Skill
Produce a report of open pull requests in ClickHouse/ClickHouse that are effectively
ready to merge: every CI check is green/skipped except possibly CH Inc sync, which
is the private-repo sync job and is frequently the last thing standing between a PR and
merge. Fully-green PRs are included too.
What counts as a "good PR"
For each PR, look at all checks and ignore the aggregate gates (PR, Mergeable Check,
A Sync (only for tests)). A PR qualifies when every remaining check other than
CH Inc sync is SUCCESS, SKIPPED, or NEUTRAL (nothing else is failing or still
running). The CH Inc sync state is then reported as one of:
- GREEN —
CH Inc sync also passed → fully green / merge-ready.
- FAILED — only
CH Inc sync failed.
- INPROG — only
CH Inc sync is still running (PENDING/IN_PROGRESS).
- NOSYNC — there is no
CH Inc sync check at all and everything else is green
(typically release-branch backports).
Already-merged or closed PRs are excluded. Each row also shows whether the PR was
approved by anyone at least once (any historical APPROVED review event; it does
not require the approval to still be current after later pushes).
Sections
- Your own PRs — authored by the authenticated
gh user.
- Assigned to you, authored by others — assigned to you, excluding your own PRs and
the tracked authors (those get their own section).
- PRs by each tracked author — every qualifying PR by the author, regardless of
assignee. Default tracked author:
groeneai. Pass author logins as arguments to
change this (e.g. good-prs groeneai azat).
How to run
Run the bundled script and present its Markdown output directly to the user (it already
emits finished tables):
bash .claude/skills/good-prs/report.sh $ARGUMENTS
The script fetches PR lists with gh pr list, classifies each PR's checks with
gh pr checks, and looks up state + approvals with gh pr view, all parallelized with
xargs -P 12. For groeneai-sized author sets (~200 open PRs) it takes roughly a minute.
Every gh call is pinned to --repo ClickHouse/ClickHouse, so the report is correct
regardless of the directory the skill is run from.
Testing
test.sh runs report.sh against a stubbed gh (no network) and checks the
bucket→label classification, the "only CH Inc sync is non-green" criterion, empty
input, --repo pinning, and the fail-loud-on-real-error behaviour:
bash .claude/skills/good-prs/test.sh
Presentation
- The script's stdout is a complete report — show it as-is.
- Statuses drift constantly as CI runs; if the user asks to "check again", just re-run
the script. Mention it is a point-in-time snapshot.
- If the user wants only the failed/in-progress subset (not the fully-green ones), filter
the rows to
FAILED/INPROG after running, or note which rows are GREEN.
Notes and caveats
gh pr list --author <login> is backed by GitHub's search index, which can
occasionally omit an individual PR (a stale-index gap). If a specific PR is known to be
missing, fetch it explicitly with gh pr view <n> and add it.
- The aggregate gates excluded from the "everything else is green" test are
PR,
Mergeable Check, and A Sync (only for tests). If ClickHouse CI renames or adds an
aggregate gate, update the select(...) filter in report.sh.
- Checks are classified by
gh pr checks' own bucket field (pass / fail /
pending / skipping / cancel), not by raw state strings, so unusual states such as
QUEUED, TIMED_OUT, CANCELLED, or STARTUP_FAILURE are handled without a PR being
silently dropped.
- The script fails loudly: if a
gh call cannot read a PR's data (an API, rate-limit, or
permission error, as opposed to a legitimately check-less PR), it aborts with the
original gh diagnostic rather than silently omitting that PR from the report.
- The script needs
gh authenticated and jq available.
