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:
```bash
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:
- **π’ Fresh** β 0β1 days old
- **π‘ Aging** β 2β3 days old
- **π΄ Stale** β 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 (π’/π‘/π΄). Include draft status and review decision.
### Step 4: Summary
End with:
- **Total open PRs** across all repos
- **Stale count** (4+ days) β these need attention
- **Aging count** (2β3 days) β these are approaching stale
- **Action items** β 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] β <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 β skip the alert entirely (no noise)
- If **some** are new β send alert only for the new ones
- If **none** were previously reported β 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 β PR staleness alert for Espen. Please relay to Telegram.
β οΈ [N] stale PR(s) found (4+ days old, not yet reported today):
- [repo] #[number]: [title] ([age] days)
...
These need review or merge.
β 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 β they're expected to age longer
- The `reviewDecision` field shows: APPROVED, CHANGES_REQUESTED, REVIEW_REQUIRED, or none
