github-pr-triage

A GitHub pull-request triage workflow. Pull requests are proposed code changes, and triage means sorting them by the action they need, such as review, feedback, or merging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list open pull requests across an organisation or repository, identify their review status, request selected first-pass reviews, and merge approved ready changes.
Why use it?
A large list of open pull requests can be difficult to scan manually. It gathers review and merge details, then groups each pull request into a clear next-action category.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

github-pr-triage scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/classify-prs.sh, scripts/enrich-prs.sh, scripts/fetch-prs.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 201 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub PR Triage

Turns a sprawling list of open PRs into a report grouped by required action, and optionally executes that action. The core pattern is enumerate → enrich → classify → report → (optionally) act, using gh search prs / gh pr view for data and deterministic jq rules for the classification — no code archaeology needed, unlike issue triage.

Three deterministic scripts do the mechanical work, so most of this skill is about reading their output correctly and knowing when to escalate to judgment:

Script Purpose
scripts/fetch-prs.sh Enumerate open PRs by author across an org
scripts/enrich-prs.sh Fetch review/check/mergeability detail per PR, in parallel
scripts/classify-prs.sh Bucket the enriched PRs by required action

Action scripts (used only after explicit per-PR confirmation — see Phase 5):

Script Purpose
scripts/request-review.sh Request a first-pass review from Copilot and/or Claude; refuses drafts and PRs that already have review activity
scripts/merge-pr.sh Merge an approved, green PR and delete its branch

Scope: figure out mode before running anything

Two independent choices govern the whole run — resolve both up front, asking the user if either is ambiguous:

  1. Report or act? A pure status report never mutates anything. Acting means requesting reviews, posting comments, pushing fixes, or merging — all of which are visible to others and some of which are hard to reverse. Default to report-only unless the user clearly asked to take action ("merge the ready ones", "kick off reviews", "clear my backlog").
  2. Which org/repo, which author? Default author is @me (the current gh user) — this skill is built around "my open PRs", matching how the four buckets below are framed (things you, the author, are waiting on or need to act on). If the user wants PRs where they're a reviewer instead, that's a different query (gh search prs --review-requested @me) — say so rather than silently reinterpreting the request.

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
