What This Command Does

This command generates two reports (with two optional additions):

1. Fast Data Report (automated)

• Fetches merged PRs from all repositories
• Filters openshift/release PRs to only HyperShift-related paths
• Filters openshift-eng/ai-helpers and openshift/enhancements PRs to HyperShift contributors
• Queries Jira for ticket hierarchy (Epic, OCPSTRAT linkage)
• Generates metrics (timing, reviewers, merge patterns)

2. Impact Analysis Report (LLM-generated)

• Analyzes PR changes to assess actual impact
• Groups work by themes and strategic initiatives
• Provides context for project contributors and followers
• Highlights notable changes, risks, and cross-repo dependencies

3. Deep Code Analysis (--deep mode only)

• Fetches actual code diffs for selected PRs
• Analyzes what the code actually changed (not just descriptions)
• Identifies breaking changes, API modifications, test coverage
• Verifies alignment between PR descriptions and actual changes

4. Progress Report (--progress-report, narrative blog post)

• Narrative technical blog post in the style of Dolphin Emulator progress reports
• Problem-first storytelling with technical depth
• Credits contributors by GitHub handle
• Thematic grouping of related changes

5. Breaking Change Report (--breaking-changes, SRE/management-oriented)

• Identifies all PRs with breaking changes, API modifications, or behavioral shifts
• Links each to Jira tickets with full hierarchy (ticket -> Epic -> OCPSTRAT)
• Assesses impact scope per customer segment and usage pattern
• Provides actionable recommendations (revert, fix, document, accept)
• Written for management cluster operators and senior SREs

6. Collaboration Report (always generated with --deep)

• Groups contributors into clusters based on review relationships and shared topics
• Identifies bridge nodes who connect clusters
• Super short format: one paragraph per cluster

7. Blog Post (--blog, docs-ready Material-styled post)

• Converts progress report to MkDocs Material blog post with grid stat cards, admonitions, and icons
• Generates sortable contributor table with per-repo linked PR counts and bugfix column
• Creates/updates docs/content/blog/index.md landing page
• Updates docs/mkdocs.yml nav with new post entry
• Runs make docs-aggregate for verification
• Applies sensitive content filtering for public blog (no S360/SFDC references)

Implementation

Step 0: Validate Arguments

If --progress-report is specified without --deep, stop and inform the user: --progress-report requires --deep mode for code-level analysis. Please add --deep to your command.

If --blog is specified without --progress-report, stop and inform the user: --blog requires --progress-report mode to generate the blog source content. Please add --progress-report (and --deep) to your command.

Step 1: Run the Python script to fetch PRs

Parse the arguments and run the script. The script accepts:

• Positional since_date (start date)
• --end flag for end date

# Parse ARGUMENTS which may contain: --start YYYY-MM-DD --end YYYY-MM-DD --deep --output-dir DIR
# Example: python3 contrib/repo_metrics/weekly_pr_report.py 2026-02-05 --end 2026-02-12 --output-dir /tmp
# If --blog is specified, also pass --blog-data to generate blog_data.json

python3 contrib/repo_metrics/weekly_pr_report.py $ARGUMENTS --output-dir $OUTPUT_DIR

Note: The script's positional argument is the start date. The --start flag in the skill is mapped to this positional argument when invoking the script. $OUTPUT_DIR is the directory chosen by the user. All output file paths below use this directory. When --blog is active, include --blog-data in the script arguments to generate $OUTPUT_DIR/blog_data.json with contributor table, metrics, and pre-rendered markdown.

Step 2: Jira Enrichment (Conditional)

Check the script output to determine if Jira data was fetched directly:

If script output shows "Fetching Jira data via REST API..." (JIRA_EMAIL + JIRA_TOKEN were set):

• Jira hierarchy was populated automatically by the script
• Skip to Step 3 (Impact Analysis Report)

If script output shows "JIRA_EMAIL/JIRA_TOKEN not set, loading from cache":

• Extract unique tickets from PR data and query Jira using MCP tools
• Use mcp__atlassian-mcp__jira_get_issue for EACH ticket (in parallel)
• Fields to request: summary,description,parent,issuetype,customfield_10978,customfield_10979,customfield_10980,issuelinks,labels,priority,status
• Key fields (Jira Cloud at redhat.atlassian.net):
  • parent = native hierarchy field (includes key, summary, issuetype with hierarchyLevel)
  • customfield_10978 = SFDC Cases Counter
  • customfield_10979 = SFDC Cases Links
  • customfield_10980 = SFDC Cases Open
• Hierarchy: Walk the parent chain: Story/Bug (level 0) → Epic (level 1) → Feature (level 2, was OCPSTRAT)
• Build hierarchy: ticket → Epic → Feature/OCPSTRAT
• Save to $OUTPUT_DIR/jira_hierarchy.json
• Re-run the Python script to regenerate report with enriched data

Step 3: Generate Impact Analysis Report

Read $OUTPUT_DIR/hypershift_pr_details_fast.json and $OUTPUT_DIR/jira_hierarchy.json, then generate a rich impact analysis report for project contributors and followers.

Write the report to $OUTPUT_DIR/weekly_pr_report_impact.md following this structure:

# HyperShift Weekly Impact Report

**Period:** YYYY-MM-DD to YYYY-MM-DD
**Audience:** Project contributors and followers

## Summary

[2-3 paragraphs summarizing the week's progress across all repositories. Highlight major themes,
significant changes, and overall project momentum. Write in a tone suitable for developers and
community members following the project.]

### OCPSTRAT-XXXX: [Initiative Name]

**Status:** [Active development / Nearing completion / Maintenance]

**This Week's Progress:**
- [Bullet points describing meaningful progress, not just PR titles]

 [Technical summary of the key changes]
 [Any breaking changes or migration notes]

 [Links to related PRs, issues, or documentation]




[List any changes that could affect users or downstream consumers:]

  [Description of risk/change and mitigation]



[Highlight changes that span multiple repositories or require coordinated updates]




| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Total PRs merged | X |
| Unique contributors | X |
| Avg time to merge | X hours |
| Most active reviewer | @username (X PRs) |



[If visible from PR descriptions or Jira tickets, mention work in progress or upcoming features]

Guidelines for Impact Analysis:

1. Audience is contributors and followers - Use technical language appropriate for developers, but explain the "why" not just the "what"

2. Assess actual impact by reading PR descriptions and understanding:

   • What problem does this solve?
   • Who benefits from this change?
   • Does this enable new capabilities or fix broken functionality?

3. Group related work - Multiple PRs often contribute to one logical change; group them together

4. Highlight cross-repo dependencies - Changes in openshift/release often enable or support changes in hypershift

5. Be specific about platforms - HyperShift supports multiple platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, KubeVirt, Agent); call out platform-specific work

6. Call out breaking changes - Any API changes, behavior changes, or deprecations should be prominently noted

7. Recognize contributors - Mention authors of significant work

Example Impact Transformations:

PR Title	Impact Analysis
"OCPBUGS-60707: Fix user-ca-bundle cleanup when additionalTrustBundle is removed"	Fixes a bug where custom CA certificates persisted in guest clusters after being removed from HostedCluster spec. Operators managing trust bundles will now see expected cleanup behavior.
"GCP-216: feat(nodepool): add GCP platform support"	Adds foundational NodePool support for GCP platform, enabling cluster autoscaling and machine management. This is a key milestone for GCP HyperShift availability.
"CNTRLPLANE-2082: hypershift: run conformance directly on the root cluster"	Simplifies CI architecture by running conformance tests on the management cluster instead of nested clusters. Reduces resource requirements and test complexity.

Step 4: Deep Code Analysis (--deep mode only)

If --deep flag is specified, perform deep code analysis after the standard report:

Step 4a: Interactive PR Selection

Present the user with PR selection options using AskUserQuestion:

1. Read $OUTPUT_DIR/hypershift_pr_details_fast.json and $OUTPUT_DIR/jira_hierarchy.json to categorize and score PRs.

2. Score each PR using these criteria (higher score = more important):

   Criterion	Points	Description
   Enhancement proposal	+200	openshift/enhancements PRs (always selected)
   Jira Priority: Critical/Blocker	+100	Highest priority tickets
   Jira Priority: Major	+50	Major priority tickets
   Jira Priority: Normal	+20	Normal priority tickets
   Jira Priority: Minor	+10	Minor priority tickets
   SDK/API/Migration work	+30	Title contains "sdk", "migrate", "api", or "breaking"
   Feature work	+15	Title contains "feat" or "feature"
   Bug fix (OCPBUGS)	+10	Has OCPBUGS ticket reference
   Has any Jira ticket	+5	Tracked work is more valuable
   Manual CI change	+10	Non-bot author in openshift/release

   To score PRs, join PR data with Jira hierarchy to get priority:

   # Get priority for a ticket from jira_hierarchy.json
   jq -r '."CNTRLPLANE-1708".priority' $OUTPUT_DIR/jira_hierarchy.json
   # Returns: "Critical"
   

3. Ask user which PRs to analyze:

   Options:
   - "All PRs (X total)" - Analyze every PR
   - "High-value selection (15-20 PRs)" - Auto-select top PRs by importance score
   - "Bug fixes only (Z PRs)" - OCPBUGS tickets only
   - "Custom selection" - Choose from annotated PR list
   

4. If "High-value selection", sort PRs by score descending and select top 15-20.

5. If "Custom selection", present an annotated PR list for user selection:

   Display format (output as markdown table for readability):

   ## Select PRs for Deep Analysis
   
   | # | Score | Priority | Repo | PR | Title | Topic |
   |---|-------|----------|------|-----|-------|-------|
   | 1 | 105 | Critical | hypershift | #7678 | CNTRLPLANE-2215: feat(aws): migrate S3 to AWS SDK v2 | SDK/API |
   | 2 | 60 | Major | hypershift | #7634 | OCPBUGS-74931: Fix OCM config constant updates | bugfix |
   | 3 | 55 | Major | release | #74707 | CNTRLPLANE-2082: run conformance on root cluster | CI |
   | 4 | 35 | Normal | hypershift | #7658 | CNTRLPLANE-2675: move infrastructure reconciliation | feature |
   | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
   

Step 4b: Fetch Diffs

Build the PR list based on user selection and run the script with --deep:

# Build list of PRs in owner/repo#number format
# Example: openshift/hypershift#7709 openshift/release#74707

python3 contrib/repo_metrics/weekly_pr_report.py "$SINCE_DATE" \
    --deep openshift/hypershift#7709 openshift/hypershift#7613 ...

This creates per-PR JSON files in .work/pr_deep/ containing:

• PR metadata (title, author, body, labels)
• Jira hierarchy
• Full diff content (file patches)

Step 4c: Analyze PRs with Task Agents

For each JSON file in .work/pr_deep/, spawn a Task agent to analyze:

1. List input files: ls .work/pr_deep/*.json | grep -v '_analysis.json'

2. Spawn Task agents in batches of 3-5 (parallel execution):

   Task agent prompt:

   Read .work/pr_deep/<key>.json and analyze the PR diff.
   
   IMPORTANT: Output the analysis JSON directly in your response text.
   Do NOT attempt to write any files. Return the JSON between
   ```json and ``` markers so the parent can extract it.
   
   CRITICAL: The PR author is in the "author" field of the input JSON.
   Always use this exact value for attribution. Never guess the author
   from the PR description or diff content.
   
   Produce JSON with these fields:
   {
     "repo": "<repo>",
     "number": <number>,
     "author": "<author from input JSON>",
     "summary": "One sentence describing actual code changes",
     "actual_changes": ["Change 1", "Change 2", ...],
     "alignment_with_description": "matches" | "partial" | "misleading",
     "breaking_changes": ["Breaking change 1", ...] or [],
     "test_coverage": "Description of test changes" or "none",
     "api_changes": true | false,
     "files_changed": {"total": N, "by_type": {"go": X, "yaml": Y, ...}},
     "notable_observations": ["Observation 1", ...],
     "impact_level": "high" | "medium" | "low",
     "impact_statement": "One sentence business/user impact"
   }
   
   Focus on:
   - What the code actually changes (not just the description)
   - Any breaking changes to APIs or behavior
   - Whether tests are added/modified appropriately
   - Code quality patterns worth noting
   

3. After each Task agent completes, extract the JSON from the agent's response and write it to .work/pr_deep/<key>_analysis.json using the Write tool. The agent cannot write files itself.

4. Wait for batch completion, then launch next batch.

Step 4d: Aggregate Findings

After all agents complete, aggregate the analysis files:

1. Read all *_analysis.json files from .work/pr_deep/
2. Combine into .work/pr_deep_aggregated.json:

   {
     "generated_at": "2026-02-12T15:30:00Z",
     "prs_analyzed": 15,
     "analyses": [ /* all analysis objects */ ],
     "summary": {
       "breaking_changes_count": 0,
       "api_changes_count": 2,
       "high_impact_count": 3
     }
   }
   

Step 4e: Enhanced Impact Report

When generating $OUTPUT_DIR/weekly_pr_report_impact.md, incorporate deep findings:

• Use actual_changes instead of PR descriptions for accuracy
• Highlight any breaking_changes prominently
• Note alignment_with_description issues (description vs reality)
• Use impact_statement for Notable PRs section

Step 5: Generate Dolphin-style Progress Report (--progress-report mode only)

If --progress-report flag is specified, generate a narrative blog-post-style technical progress report. Write the report to $OUTPUT_DIR/hypershift_progress_report_YYYY-MM-DD.md where YYYY-MM-DD is the end date.

Data sources:

• $OUTPUT_DIR/hypershift_pr_details_fast.json for PR data (including author field)
• $OUTPUT_DIR/jira_hierarchy.json for strategic context
• .work/pr_deep_aggregated.json and .work/pr_deep/*_analysis.json (if --deep mode)
• $OUTPUT_DIR/weekly_pr_report_impact.md for the impact analysis already generated

CRITICAL: Author Attribution Always use the author field from the PR data JSON for contributor attribution. Never guess or infer authors from PR descriptions or code content.

Writing Style Guide:

1. Problem-first storytelling: Don't just say what changed -- explain the problem that existed before, why it mattered, and how the change addresses it. Give readers the "why" before the "what."

2. Conversational but authoritative tone: Write like a knowledgeable engineer explaining work to interested peers over coffee. Avoid marketing language and buzzwords. Be direct, specific, and occasionally witty.

3. Technical depth with accessibility: Go deep on the technical details -- show code patterns, explain algorithms, discuss trade-offs. But structure explanations so readers can follow even if they're not experts in that specific area.

4. Historical context: When relevant, explain what the previous approach was and why it's being changed. "The old emptyBucket function relied on X, which had problems Y and Z. The new approach does W instead."

5. Credit contributors by GitHub handle: Use @username format, sourced from the author field in the PR data JSON.

6. Thematic grouping over chronological listing: Group related changes into coherent narratives rather than listing PRs in order. A single section might cover 1-3 related PRs that tell one story.

7. Highlight interesting edge cases and trade-offs: Readers love learning about subtle problems -- TLS ServerName workarounds, race conditions, pre-stable dependencies. These are what make the report worth reading beyond just a changelog.

8. Don't cover everything: Select 5-8 of the most interesting/impactful changes for deep narrative treatment. Minor fixes and routine maintenance can be briefly mentioned or grouped into a "smaller changes" section at the end.

Structure Template:

# HyperShift Progress Report: [Month Day - Day, Year]

[Opening paragraph: 2-3 sentences setting the scene. Total PR count, major themes,
and one hook to draw readers in.]


## [Narrative Section Title]
**By @author -- [PR #XXXX](url)**

[3-8 paragraphs telling the story of this change. Start with the problem,
explain the approach, detail interesting technical aspects, note edge cases.]


## [Next Section...]
[Repeat for each major topic]


## Smaller Changes Worth Noting

[Brief mentions of other work that didn't warrant full sections but should
be acknowledged:]

- **[Title]** (@author, [PR #XXXX](url)): One-sentence description.
- ...

Step 5b: Generate Breaking Change Report (--breaking-changes mode only)

If --breaking-changes flag is specified, generate a detailed breaking change assessment report. Write the report to $OUTPUT_DIR/breaking_changes_report_YYYY-MM-DD.md where YYYY-MM-DD is the end date. Requires --deep mode because breaking change detection relies on code diff analysis.

If --breaking-changes is specified without --deep, stop and inform the user: --breaking-changes requires --deep mode for code-level analysis. Please add --deep to your command.

Data sources:

• .work/pr_deep_aggregated.json for per-PR analysis including breaking_changes and api_changes fields
• .work/pr_deep/*_analysis.json for detailed per-PR analysis
• $OUTPUT_DIR/jira_hierarchy.json for Jira ticket hierarchy (ticket -> Epic -> OCPSTRAT)
• $OUTPUT_DIR/hypershift_pr_details_fast.json for PR metadata and author information

Target audience: Management cluster operators and senior SREs who need to evaluate whether a HyperShift upgrade introduces changes that could affect their clusters, tenants, or operational procedures. Write with the assumption that the reader:

• Manages one or more management clusters running HyperShift
• May have downstream consumers embedding HyperShift API types
• Operates hosted clusters across multiple platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, KubeVirt)
• Needs to assess upgrade risk for fleet-wide rollouts
• Cares about N-1/N+1 version compatibility for rollback safety

Selection criteria: Include PRs that have ANY of:

• Non-empty breaking_changes array in the deep analysis
• api_changes: true in the deep analysis
• Behavioral changes that alter observable semantics (condition status meanings, default values, serialization format, required fields, RBAC requirements, network policy changes)
• Changes that could affect rolling upgrades or version skew scenarios

Report structure:

# HyperShift Breaking Change Assessment

**Period:** YYYY-MM-DD to YYYY-MM-DD
**Audience:** Management cluster operators, senior SREs, and platform engineering leads
**Generated from:** Deep analysis of N PRs with code diff inspection

## Executive Summary

[2-3 sentences: how many breaking/API changes were detected, overall risk level for upgrading,
and whether any changes require immediate action before upgrade.]

## Risk Matrix

| # | Severity | PR | Component | Change | Affected Consumers | Action Required |
|---|----------|----|-----------|--------|--------------------|--------------------|
| 1 | Critical/High/Medium/Low | [#XXXX](url) | component | Brief description | Who is affected | Revert/Fix/Document/Accept |

## Detailed Assessments

### BC-1: [Short descriptive title]

**PR:** [#XXXX](PR url) by @author
**Jira:** [TICKET-XXXX](jira url) -> Epic: [EPIC-XXXX](jira url) -> OCPSTRAT: [OCPSTRAT-XXXX](jira url)
**Merged:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Severity:** Critical | High | Medium | Low
**Type:** API field change | Behavioral change | Serialization change | Condition semantics | RBAC change | Network policy change

#### What Changed

[Precise technical description of the breaking change. Include code snippets or field names
where helpful. Explain both the old behavior and the new behavior.]

#### Impact Scope

**Directly affected:**
- [List specific consumer types: management cluster operators, downstream API consumers,
  CI/CD pipelines, monitoring/alerting, GitOps configurations, etc.]

**Platform scope:** [All platforms | AWS only | Azure/ARO only | GCP only | etc.]

**Version scope:**
- **Upgrading from:** [Which versions are affected when upgrading to this change]
  [What happens if you need to roll back after this change]
  [Is the change safe for mixed-version environments during rolling upgrades]


 [Describe specific usage patterns that would break. E.g., "Customers using Karpenter with
  custom readiness gates that check Ready=True will need to update their gates to also handle
  the new VersionResolved condition."]
 [Be specific about fleet management, GitOps, external tooling, monitoring integrations]



 Revert | Fix to maintain compatibility | Document and accept | Accept with migration guide

 [Why this recommendation. Consider: Is the break intentional or accidental?
Is there a way to maintain backward compatibility? What is the cost of reverting vs. the
cost of the break? Is this a bug fix that intentionally changes behavior?]


 [ ] Update upgrade documentation / release notes
 [ ] Notify affected customers via [channel]
 [ ] Add migration steps to upgrade runbook
 [ ] Update monitoring/alerting for new behavior
 [ ] Verify rollback safety in staging


 [ ] Proposed fix: [Brief description of how to maintain compatibility]
 [ ] Target PR: [If a fix PR exists or should be created]


[Repeat for each breaking change]



[List API changes that are additive/non-breaking but should be noted for awareness.
These don't require action but inform operators about new capabilities or fields
they may want to start using.]

| PR | Field/Type | Change | Notes |
|----|-----------|--------|-------|
| []() |  | New field added | Enhancement proposal; implementation pending |





Based on the breaking changes identified in this period, operators should verify the following
before upgrading:

 [ ] [Specific check derived from the breaking changes]
 [ ] [Another specific check]



[Summarize any changes that make rollback risky or require special procedures]



[Any notes about running mixed versions during a rolling upgrade window]

Severity classification:

Severity	Criteria
Critical	Data loss risk, cluster unavailability, or silent corruption. Requires immediate action.
High	Breaks existing integrations or operational procedures. Requires action before upgrade.
Medium	Changes observable behavior but has workarounds. Should be addressed in upgrade planning.
Low	Minor behavioral change unlikely to affect most operators. Document for awareness.

Step 5c: Generate Collaboration Report (always with --deep)

Generate a short collaboration report grouping contributors into clusters based on who reviews whom and who works on the same topics. Write to $OUTPUT_DIR/collaboration_report_YYYY-MM-DD.md.

Data sources:

• $OUTPUT_DIR/hypershift_pr_details_fast.json for reviewer and author relationships
• .work/pr_deep/*_analysis.json for topic/component grouping

Format: Keep it super short -- one paragraph per cluster, plus a closing line identifying bridge nodes (people who connect clusters).

How to identify clusters:

1. Build a graph of author <-> reviewer relationships from PR data
2. Group contributors who frequently review each other or work on the same component/topic
3. Name each cluster by its primary focus area (e.g., "OADP & Envtest", "Karpenter / AutoNode")
4. List the members in bold, then one sentence describing what they worked on together
5. End with a "Bridge nodes" line identifying contributors who span multiple clusters

Step 5d: Generate Blog Post (--blog mode only)

If --blog flag is specified, generate a Material-styled blog post from the progress report. Use docs/content/blog/2026-06-progress-report.md as the canonical template reference for styling decisions.

Step 5d-1: Generate blog data

The Python script handles all the deterministic work (contributor counting, URL generation, table rendering, metrics). It was already invoked with --blog-data alongside the other flags in Step 1. Verify $OUTPUT_DIR/blog_data.json exists. If not, re-run:

python3 contrib/repo_metrics/weekly_pr_report.py $SINCE_DATE --end $END_DATE \
    --blog-data --resume --output-dir $OUTPUT_DIR

The script uses OWNERS_ALIASES to determine the HyperShift team for ai-helpers inclusion (formula: (core-approvers ∪ core-reviewers ∪ konflux-approvers) - gcp-reviewers).

Spot-check release-only contributors: blog_data.json flags contributors with "release_only": true and includes their PR numbers in "release_pr_numbers". For each, verify their release PRs touch HyperShift-specific paths:

gh pr view openshift/release#NNNNN --json files --jq '.files[].path'

If their PRs are broad CI sweeps (not HyperShift-specific), exclude them from the contributor table by removing their entry before generating the blog post.

Step 5d-2: Transform progress report to blog post

Read $OUTPUT_DIR/hypershift_progress_report_YYYY-MM-DD.md and apply Material styling. Write to docs/content/blog/YYYY-MM-progress-report.md.

Pre-rendered markdown from blog_data.json — insert these directly:

• markdown.stats_cards → after the H1 title
• markdown.metrics_table → in the "By the Numbers" section
• markdown.top_reviewers_table → after the metrics table
• markdown.contributor_table → in the "Contributors" section

Content preservation rules (do NOT alter these):

• Preserve all existing PR links ([PR #NNNN](url) and [#NNNN](url)) — do not strip URLs
• Preserve em dashes (—). If the source uses --, convert to —
• Preserve the intro paragraph's detailed statistics (merge time, high-impact count, etc.) but update contributor count to match blog_data.json → stats.contributor_count
• Preserve enhancement proposal links and Jira links that are already in the source

Title format: Use {Month} {Year} Progress Report (e.g., "June 2026 Progress Report"), not "HyperShift Progress Report: June 2026". Keep it short. No quotes in YAML frontmatter values unless they contain special characters.

LLM styling transforms:

• Add YAML frontmatter (title, description with PR count and contributor count)
• Remove "Story N:" prefixes from section headings
• Add Material icons to section headings (choose contextually: :material-swap-horizontal: for migrations, :material-linux: for OS, :material-lan-disconnect: for networking, etc.)
• Convert only clearly-marked callout paragraphs to admonitions — look for explicit "Key Takeaway", "Production Impact", "Lesson Learned" markers in the source. Do NOT wrap regular narrative paragraphs in admonitions. When in doubt, leave as prose.
• Ensure @username mentions use [@username](https://github.com/username) linking
• Add "By the Numbers" section (:material-chart-bar:) with pre-rendered metrics and top reviewers tables
• Add "Contributors" section (:octicons-people-24:) with header text "Click any column header to sort. Each number links to the contributor's PRs in that repository." and the pre-rendered contributor table
• Add "What's Next" section from the progress report with :material-crystal-ball: icon

Sensitive content filtering (blog is public):

• S360 references → "compliance"
• Remove SFDC case count/link references
• Don't include internal-only Jira links for non-public tickets
• Don't mention specific customer names

Step 5d-3: Update blog index and mkdocs.yml nav

Read docs/content/blog/index.md. Add a new card entry at the TOP of the grid cards div (newest first). Create the file if it doesn't exist. Card template:

-   :material-newspaper-variant-outline:{ .lg .middle } **{Month} {Year} Progress Report**

    ---

    {description}. {total_prs} PRs from {contributor_count} contributors.

    [:octicons-arrow-right-24: Read the report]({filename})

Read docs/mkdocs.yml, find - 'Blog': section, add new entry. If no Blog section exists, create one before - 'Videos':.

Step 5d-4: Verify and preview

Run make docs-aggregate (blog excluded by /blog/ filter in hack/tools/docs-aggregator/main.go). Start mkdocs serve from docs/ for user preview before committing.

Step 6: Present Results

After generating reports, provide the user with:

1. A brief summary of what was generated
2. Location of all report files
3. Key highlights from the impact analysis
4. (--deep mode) Summary of deep analysis findings (the script prints a summary table with PR count, files, lines changed, and vendor files skipped)
5. (--progress-report mode) Mention the progress report location
6. (--breaking-changes mode) Summarize breaking changes found and their severity
7. (--deep mode) Mention the collaboration report location
8. (--blog mode) Mention the blog post at docs/content/blog/YYYY-MM-progress-report.md, suggest running cd docs && mkdocs serve to preview, and note that make docs-aggregate was run successfully

Script Features

The Python script uses:

• GitHub Contributors API to fetch HyperShift contributors
• GitHub GraphQL API with search queries for efficient PR fetching (merged:START..END range syntax)
• File path filtering for openshift/release (only PRs touching hypershift paths)
• Parallel async API calls with aiohttp for maximum performance
• Jira hierarchy caching (loads from previous run if available)
• PR scoring for deep analysis (--score flag) with priority-based ranking
• Conventional commit parsing for topic extraction

Scoring Command

Use --score to output a ranked list of PRs for deep analysis selection:

python3 contrib/repo_metrics/weekly_pr_report.py 2026-02-05 --end 2026-02-12 --score
python3 contrib/repo_metrics/weekly_pr_report.py 2026-02-05 --end 2026-02-12 --score --score-limit 30

Output includes:

• Scored PRs table with priority, repo, topic, and title
• JSON file at $OUTPUT_DIR/pr_scored.json for programmatic use
• Ready-to-use PR list for --deep flag

Notes

• Requires aiohttp Python package: pip install aiohttp
• Falls back to synchronous mode if aiohttp is not available (slower but functional)

Jira Integration Modes

Mode 1: Direct API (Recommended)

• Set JIRA_EMAIL and JIRA_TOKEN environment variables for Jira Cloud
• JIRA_EMAIL: Your Red Hat email address (Atlassian account)
• JIRA_TOKEN: Jira Cloud API token (generate at https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens)
• Script fetches Jira data directly via REST API v3 with batch queries
• No MCP tool calls needed - fully automated
• Example: export JIRA_EMAIL="[e-mail]" JIRA_TOKEN="your-api-token"

Mode 2: MCP Fallback (Interactive use)

• When JIRA_EMAIL/JIRA_TOKEN are not set, script outputs ticket list only
• Claude uses MCP tools (mcp__atlassian-mcp__jira_get_issue) to fetch hierarchy
• Requires Jira MCP server to be configured

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
JIRA_EMAIL	No	Atlassian account email (enables direct API mode with JIRA_TOKEN)
JIRA_TOKEN	No	Jira Cloud API token (requires JIRA_EMAIL)
JIRA_URL	No	Jira Cloud URL (defaults to https://redhat.atlassian.net)
GITHUB_TOKEN	No	GitHub token (falls back to gh auth token if not set)
