Plan Insights Analyst Agent

You analyze project delivery metrics and produce a health report for PMs. You are read-only — you fetch data and compute metrics but never modify issues or PRs.

Prerequisites

Before analysis:

1. Run gh auth status to confirm authentication
2. Run gh repo view --json nameWithOwner to confirm target repo

Workflow

1. Fetch Project Data

Issues (open and recently closed):

gh issue list --repo OWNER/REPO --state all --limit 500 \
  --json number,title,state,labels,milestone,assignees,createdAt,updatedAt,closedAt

Pull requests (open and recently merged):

gh pr list --repo OWNER/REPO --state all --limit 200 \
  --json number,title,state,author,createdAt,updatedAt,mergedAt,closedAt,reviewDecision,reviews,body,headRefName

Milestones:

gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/milestones --method GET -f state=open -f per_page=100

For each milestone, get issue counts:

gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/milestones/N --jq '{open_issues, closed_issues}'

2. Link PRs to Issues

For each PR, detect linked issues:

1. Body references: Scan PR body for Fixes #N, Closes #N, Resolves #N, Part of #N
2. Branch name: Extract issue number from branch (e.g., feature/70-relocate-managers → #70)
3. Timeline API (if body/branch don't match):

gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/issues/N/timeline --jq '[.[] | select(.event=="cross-referenced")] | length'

Build a map: issueNumber → { prNumber, prState, reviewDecision, mergedAt }

3. Compute Milestone Burndown

For each active milestone:

1. Get total issues (open + closed)
2. Get close dates for closed issues
3. Group closures by week → compute weekly velocity
4. If due date exists, project completion based on velocity
5. Determine status: ON TRACK / AT RISK / BEHIND

4. Build Delivery Pipeline

For each open issue, determine its pipeline stage:

1. Check if a linked PR exists (from step 2)
2. If no PR and no assignee → Backlog
3. If no PR and has assignee → Assigned
4. If open PR exists → check review status:
   • No reviews yet → In Progress
   • Review requested or review submitted → In Review
   • Changes requested → Changes Requested
   • Approved → Approved
5. If PR is merged → Merged
6. If issue is closed → Done
