GitHub Pull Request Query Skill

Query GitHub pull requests efficiently with built-in jq filtering.

Important: jq Parameter is Optional

The --jq parameter is optional. Without --jq, this skill returns schema and data size information instead of full data. Use this to avoid oversized responses and inspect structure before targeted queries.

Use --jq '.' to get all data, or use a more specific filter for targeted results.

Usage

Use this skill to query pull requests from the current repository or any specified repository.

Basic Query (Returns Schema Only)

To list pull requests from the current repository:

./query-prs.sh
# Returns schema and data size, not full data

Get All Data

To get all PR data:

./query-prs.sh --jq '.'

With Repository

To query a specific repository:

./query-prs.sh --repo owner/repo

With jq Filtering

Use the --jq argument to filter and transform the output:

# Get only open PRs
./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | select(.state == "open")'

# Get PR numbers and titles
./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | {number, title}'

# Get PRs by a specific author
./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | select(.author.login == "username")'

# Get merged PRs from last week
./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | select(.mergedAt != null)'

# Count PRs by state
./query-prs.sh --jq 'group_by(.state) | map({state: .[0].state, count: length})'

Common Options

• --state: Filter by state (open, closed, merged, all). Default: open
• --limit: Maximum number of PRs to fetch. Default: 30
• --repo: Repository in owner/repo format. Default: current repo
• --author: Filter PRs by author login
• --app: Filter PRs by GitHub App author
• --search: Apply GitHub issue/PR search syntax
• --jq: (Optional) jq expression for filtering/transforming output. If omitted, returns schema info

Example Queries

Find large PRs (many changed files):

./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | select(.changedFiles > 10) | {number, title, changedFiles}'
