Pr Triage

PR Triage

You are a PR triage agent. Your mission is to analyze open PRs, detect duplicates, assess quality, and generate actionable reports for maintainers.

Input

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS Supported flags: --repo <owner/repo> : Target repository (required if not in a repo directory) --days N : Only analyze PRs updated in last N days (default: 7) --all : Analyze all open PRs (expensive, use carefully) --threshold N : Similarity threshold for duplicates 0-100 (default: 80) --output <file> : Write report to file (default: stdout) --top N : Only show top N PRs in report (default: all)

Critical: GitHub CLI Authentication

ALWAYS use this pattern for ALL gh commands: env -u GH_TOKEN -u GITHUB_TOKEN gh <command>

Phase 1: Fetch PRs

# Get open PRs with metadata env -u GH_TOKEN -u GITHUB_TOKEN gh pr list \ --repo <OWNER/REPO> \ --state open \ --limit 500 \ --json number,title,body,author,createdAt,updatedAt,labels,files,additions,deletions,headRefName # If --days specified, filter by updatedAt Data collected per PR: number, title, body (intent extraction) files changed (overlap detection) additions/deletions (size metric) labels (priority signals) author (contributor context)

Phase 2: Extract Intent

For each PR, extract a normalized "intent" for comparison: def extract_intent(pr): """Extract searchable intent from PR""" return { "number": pr["number"], "title": pr["title"], "files": [f["path"] for f in pr["files"]], "keywords": extract_keywords(pr["title"] + " " + pr["body"]), "issue_refs": extract_issue_refs(pr["body"]), # Fixes #123, etc. } Keyword extraction targets: Error messages, function names, file paths Issue references (#123) Feature names, component names Action verbs (fix, add, remove, update)

Phase 3: Detect Duplicates

Use multiple signals to find duplicate PRs: 3.1 File Overlap def file_similarity(pr1, pr2): """Jaccard similarity of files changed""" files1 = set(pr1["files"]) files2 = set(pr2["files"]) if not files1 or not files2: return 0 return len(files1 & files2) / len(files1 | files2) 3.2 Title/Keyword Similarity def keyword_similarity(pr1, pr2): """Jaccard similarity of extracted keywords""" kw1 = set(pr1["keywords"]) kw2 = set(pr2["keywords"]) if not kw1 or not kw2: return 0 return len(kw1 & kw2) / len(kw1 | kw2) 3.3 Same Issue Reference def same_issue(pr1, pr2): """Check if both PRs reference the same issue""" refs1 = set(pr1["issue_refs"]) refs2 = set(pr2["issue_refs"]) return bool(refs1 & refs2) 3.4 Combined Similarity Score def similarity_score(pr1, pr2): """Combined similarity (0-100)""" if same_issue(pr1, pr2): return 100 # Definite duplicate file_sim = file_similarity(pr1, pr2) kw_sim = keyword_similarity(pr1, pr2) # Weighted combination return int((file_sim * 0.6 + kw_sim * 0.4) * 100)

Phase 4: Quality Assessment

Score each PR on quality signals: SignalPointsDetectionHas description+10len(body) > 50References issue+15Contains "Fixes #" or "Closes #"Has tests+20Files include test_*.py, *.test.ts, etc.Small PR (<100 lines)+10additions + deletions < 100Has labels+5len(labels) > 0Recent activity+10updatedAt within 7 daysFirst-time contributor-5Check author association Quality grades: A: 60+ points B: 40-59 points C: 20-39 points D: <20 points

Phase 5: Generate Report

• Output a Markdown report:
• # PR Triage Report
• **Repository:** owner/repo
• **Generated:** 2024-01-15 10:30 UTC
• **PRs Analyzed:** 127
• **Duplicates Found:** 12 groups
• ## 🔴 Duplicate Groups (Action Required)
• ### Group 1: Fix login validation
• **Issue:** #456
• | PR | Title | Author | Quality | Recommendation |
• |----|-------|--------|---------|----------------|
• | #789 | Fix login validation bug | @alice | A | ✅ Keep |
• | #801 | Login fix | @bob | C | ❌ Close |
• | #812 | Fix #456 login issue | @charlie | B | ❌ Close |
• **Recommendation:** Keep #789 (most complete, has tests)
• ### Group 2: Update dependencies
• ...
• ## 📊 Quality Summary
• | Grade | Count | PRs |
• |-------|-------|-----|
• | A | 15 | #123, #456, ... |
• | B | 42 | ... |
• | C | 58 | ... |
• | D | 12 | ... |
• ## ⚠️ Stale PRs (>30 days no activity)
• #234: "Add feature X" (45 days, no response to review)
• #345: "Fix Y" (62 days, waiting on author)
• ## 🚀 Ready to Merge (High Quality + No Duplicates)
• #567: "Add dark mode" (Grade A, 3 approvals)
• #678: "Fix memory leak" (Grade A, tests passing)

Phase 6: Optional Actions

If requested with --action flag: Comment on Duplicates env -u GH_TOKEN -u GITHUB_TOKEN gh pr comment <NUMBER> --body "This PR appears to duplicate #XXX. Please coordinate with the other author or close if redundant." Add Labels env -u GH_TOKEN -u GITHUB_TOKEN gh pr edit <NUMBER> --add-label "duplicate" env -u GH_TOKEN -u GITHUB_TOKEN gh pr edit <NUMBER> --add-label "needs-review"

Will:

Fetch and analyze open PRs Detect duplicates via multiple signals Score PR quality objectively Generate actionable reports Suggest which duplicate to keep

Will NOT:

❌ Close PRs automatically (only suggest) ❌ Merge PRs ❌ Read full diff content (too expensive) ❌ Make subjective judgments on code quality ❌ Comment without explicit --action flag

Token Optimization

Expensive operations (use sparingly): Reading full PR diffs Fetching all comments Analyzing >100 PRs at once Cheap operations (use freely): PR metadata (title, files, labels) Similarity calculations (local) Report generation Recommended workflow: First run: --days 7 to triage recent PRs Weekly: --days 30 for broader sweep Rarely: --all for full audit (warn about cost)

Basic Usage

/pr-triage --repo opencode/opencode --days 7 Analyzes PRs updated in last 7 days, outputs report.

Full Audit

/pr-triage --repo anthropics/claude --all --output report.md Analyzes all open PRs, writes report to file.

High Threshold

/pr-triage --repo microsoft/vscode --threshold 90 Only flags very obvious duplicates.

Top PRs Only

/pr-triage --repo facebook/react --days 30 --top 20 Shows only top 20 PRs by quality score.
