PROMPT

Triage open PRs in [owner/repo]. Show me: - New PRs from first-time contributors (highest priority) - PRs awaiting review for more than 48 hours - Stale PRs with no activity in 7+ days - PRs that are approved and ready to merge

How It Works

This skill analyzes open PRs and categorizes them by urgency and author type.

First-time contributors get priority — they're most likely to abandon if ignored.

What You Get

  • Categorized PR lists by status and author type
  • Identification of first-time contributors (NONE, FIRST_TIME_CONTRIBUTOR)
  • Stale PR detection (7+ days no activity)
  • Review status tracking (awaiting, in progress, approved)
  • Shell scripts for quick triage runs

Setup Steps

  1. Ensure GitHub CLI (gh) is authenticated
  2. Run scripts/pr-triage.sh with your repo
  3. Optionally configure stale threshold (default 7 days)

Tips

  • Response time matters most for NONE and FIRST_TIME authors
  • Use pr-details.sh to get full context on specific PRs
  • Check author_association before deciding review priority
  • Celebrate merged community contributions publicly
  • Daily check keeps the queue healthy
