PR triage across repositories
Audit open PRs across one or more GitHub repositories and produce a single prioritized report.
Argument handling
$ARGUMENTS is a space-separated list of owner/repo identifiers. If empty, use the current repo (from gh repo view --json nameWithOwner --jq .nameWithOwner).
Workflow
Phase 1: Gather PR data
For each repo, spawn a parallel Agent that runs:
gh pr list -R {repo} --state open --json number,title,author,createdAt,isDraft,labels,headRefName,baseRefName,mergeable,reviewDecision,updatedAt
Phase 2: Per-PR analysis
For each open PR, the agent evaluates:
Stale drafts
Flag drafts where updatedAt is more than 7 days ago. Include age in days.
Duplicate detection
Compare PR titles and branch names within the same repo. Flag pairs where:
- Titles share 3+ significant words (ignoring "fix", "update", "bump", "chore").
- Branch names share the same
verb-noun prefix (e.g., two fix-typos-* branches).
Renovate PR analysis
For PRs authored by renovate[bot] or app/renovate:
- Fetch the diff:
gh pr diff -R {repo} {number}.
- Classify:
- Version bump: changelog entries show actual version changes. Mark as merge-ready.
- SHA-only: diff changes only pinned commit SHAs with no version change (e.g., annotated tag re-point). Flag as cosmetic.
- Major update: major version bump. Flag for manual review.
- Check for Renovate PRs that update the same package — these are superseded duplicates.
Conflict detection
Compare headRefName across open PRs. Flag PRs that modify the same files (fetch file lists with gh pr view -R {repo} {number} --json files --jq '.files[].path'). Two PRs touching the same file are potential conflicts.
Phase 3: Unified report
Merge results from all agents into one table, sorted by priority:
| Repo | PR | Title | Author | Age | Status | Action |
Status values:
merge — Tests pass, approved, no conflicts. Merge-ready.review — Needs review (non-draft, no review decision yet).stale — Draft or non-draft with no activity for 7+ days.cosmetic — Renovate SHA-only update, low priority.conflict — Touches files that overlap with another open PR.duplicate — Likely duplicate of another open PR.major — Major dependency bump, needs manual assessment.
After the table, list:
- Merge-ready PRs that can be merged immediately.
- Duplicates with a recommendation on which to keep (prefer the older or more complete one).
- Stale drafts with a recommendation to close or revive.
- Conflicts with the specific files that overlap.
Important rules
- Use
gh CLI for all GitHub API interactions.
- Spawn one Agent per repo to parallelize data gathering.
- Do not merge, close, or comment on PRs. Report only.
- Keep the output scannable. Tables over prose.
- If a repo has more than 50 open PRs, focus on the 50 most recently updated.
