  Monitor open GitHub PRs across all repos in ~/Dev. Checks PR age, flags stale PRs,
  and optionally alerts via Aivena/Telegram. Uses `gh pr list` for accurate GitHub data.

  **TRIGGERS - Use this skill when:**
  - User asks about open PRs, pull requests, or PR status
  - User says "check PRs", "any stale PRs?", "PR review status"
  - Cron job `pr-monitor` fires
  - User asks "what needs review?" or "what's waiting for merge?"
  - User wants a PR dashboard or PR age report

PR Monitor Skill

Scan all GitHub-hosted repos in `~/Dev` for open pull requests. Flag stale PRs and report status.

Procedure

Step 1: Scan all repos for open PRs

Run this exact command to collect all open PRs:

for dir in ~/Dev/*/; do
  if [ -d "$dir/.git" ]; then
    remote=$(git -C "$dir" remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null)
    if echo "$remote" | grep -q github.com; then
      repo=$(echo "$remote" | sed 's/.*github.com[:/]\(.*\)\.git/\1/' | sed 's/.*github.com[:/]\(.*\)/\1/')
      prs=$(timeout 30s gh pr list --repo "$repo" --state open --json number,title,createdAt,headRefName,author,isDraft,reviewDecision)
      pr_count=$(echo "${prs:-[]}" | jq 'length' 2>/dev/null)
      if [ "${pr_count:-0}" -gt 0 ]; then
        echo "=== $(basename "$dir") ($repo) ==="
        echo "$prs" | jq -r '.[] | "  #\(.number) [\(.headRefName)] \(.title) (by \(.author.login), created \(.createdAt[:10]), draft: \(.isDraft), review: \(.reviewDecision // "none"))"'
        echo ""
      fi
    fi
  fi
done

Step 2: Calculate PR age

For each PR, calculate age from `createdAt` to today. Classify as:

  • **🟢 Fresh** — 0–1 days old
  • **🟡 Aging** — 2–3 days old
  • **🔴 Stale** — 4+ days old

Step 3: Format the report

Output a table with columns:

| Repo | PR | Branch | Title | Author | Age | Status | Review | |------|-----|--------|-------|--------|-----|--------|--------|

Group by repo. Show age badge (🟢/🟡/🔴). Include draft status and review decision.

Step 4: Summary

End with:

  • **Total open PRs** across all repos
  • **Stale count** (4+ days) — these need attention
  • **Aging count** (2–3 days) — these are approaching stale
  • **Action items** — specific PRs that need review or merge

Step 5: Deduplication check (before alerting)

**Before sending any Telegram alert**, check today's daily memory log for PRs already covered. Optionally, write a lightweight per-PR "alert sent" timestamp (e.g., `pr-monitor: [repo] #[number] — <date>`) to memory so overlapping executions don't duplicate alerts.

memory_read(target: "daily")

Scan the result for PR references matching `[repo] #[number]`. Any stale PR already mentioned in today's standup or a prior pr-monitor alert **today** should be **excluded** from the new alert.

  • If **all** stale PRs were already reported today → skip the alert entirely (no noise)
  • If **some** are new → send alert only for the new ones
  • If **none** were previously reported → send the full alert

Step 6: Alert (only for net-new stale PRs)

If net-new stale PRs remain after dedup, send an alert to Aivena via `a2a_send`:

Hey Aivena — PR staleness alert for Espen. Please relay to Telegram.

⚠️ [N] stale PR(s) found (4+ days old, not yet reported today):
- [repo] #[number]: [title] ([age] days)
...

These need review or merge.
— Fury

If no stale PRs exist, or all were already covered today, do nothing (no noise).

Notes

  • Requires `gh` CLI authenticated (`gh auth status`)
  • Requires `jq` for JSON parsing
  • Only scans repos with GitHub remotes
  • Draft PRs are included but noted — they're expected to age longer
  • The `reviewDecision` field shows: APPROVED, CHANGES_REQUESTED, REVIEW_REQUIRED, or none
