Pr board

pr-board — what's new on the PRs I authored

The recurring question this answers: "how are my PRs / did I address the reviews?" — asked constantly during review cycles, and usually answered by hand-rolling gh because nothing makes the better tool the default reach. lectio already has the answer: memory_authored_activity is purpose-built for "reviews and comments by other people on PRs I authored, since I last looked, excluding my own replies." This skill makes that the default, keeps it fresh, and adds the cross-source join (PR ↔ local worktree ↔ notes) that only lectio can do.

Model: lectio is the substrate; this skill is the reach + freshness + presentation layer. lectio reports last-known state; the skill decides whether that's fresh enough and refreshes if not (the "derive current state" move). gh is the fallback for what lectio doesn't cover, never the first reach.

Arguments

• --since <dur> — window for "new activity" (e.g. 24h, 3d). Default 24h.
• --pr <ref> — focus one PR (42090 or chainguard-dev/mono#42090); skips the board, deep-dives that PR's review thread + your reply status.
• --no-refresh — skip the freshness step (use lectio as-is; faster, possibly stale).

Phase 0 — Freshness (derive current state)

lectio's answer is only as current as its last gh sweep. Before reading, make it fresh — this is now safe to run alongside the launchd sweep timer (WAL + busy_timeout, lectio bead fa895f), so it won't error on a lock.

1. Unless --no-refresh: lectio sweep --source gh --if-stale 10m (also --source linear --if-stale 10m if the question touches Linear). --if-stale no-ops when gh swept within 10 min, sweeps otherwise — cheap to call every time.
2. Optional sanity read: lectio status --json shows per-source last_advanced_at — if gh is hours stale and the refresh didn't move it, the sweep service may be wedged (see lectio bead 0618a0); say so rather than silently reporting stale data.

If the lectio MCP / CLI isn't available at all, skip to Phase 3 (pure gh fallback) and say up front that this is gh-only, no cross-source join.

Phase 1 — Ask lectio the authored-activity question

Call memory_authored_activity with since_nanos = now − --since (default 24h). It resolves "mine" from your [identity] gh_logins (falls back to gh.authors) — no need to pass authors. It returns, per PR you authored: the PR (repo, number, title, state/merged), and the new items — reviews and review-comments by people who aren't you, since the window — each with author, path, preview, timestamp. Author attribution is present (lectio bead 380b79), so "whose review" is answered without falling back to gh.

If it returns an empty/zero result, that's a real answer ("nothing new on your PRs since <t>") — report it, don't go hunting in gh to manufacture activity.

Phase 2 — Join each PR to your local context (lectio's edge)

For each PR with new activity, a quick memory_search "<number>" (and/or memory_traverse on the PR URI) surfaces the cross-source threads lectio uniquely holds: your local review worktree (fs://…/<repo>-pr-<n>-review), notes files, the commits that touch the same files, prior turns where you discussed it. This is the value over gh alone — gh knows the PR, the filesystem knows your worktree, lectio has both joined on one graph.

For --pr <ref>: skip the board, deep-dive this one — full review timeline (memory_get_timeline on the PR URI), each reviewer's comments, and crucially whether you replied after their latest comment (compare your latest authored item's timestamp vs the reviewer's). That's the literal "did I address the review?" answer.

Phase 3 — Present the board

One scannable block, sorted by what needs you most (unanswered reviews first):

PR board — new since <window>  (gh swept <freshness>)

chainguard-dev/mono#42090 — "title" — OPEN — ⚠ NEEDS REPLY
  • Mark: 3 review comments (src/foo.rs, src/bar.rs) — 2h ago — you haven't replied since
  • local: <worktree-path>/mono-pr-42090-review worktree, notes at <path>
chainguard-dev/mono#39311 — "title" — OPEN — ✓ replied
  • Carol: 1 approval — 1d ago
…
2 PRs with new activity · 1 needs your reply

• What needs you: the short list where a reply or decision is pending — the actual point of the board.
• Attribution: name the reviewer (Mark, Carol) — it's in the data now.
• Cite URIs for claims drawn from lectio (per its epistemic contract), and flag any answer that's from stale data if Phase 0 couldn't refresh.

gh fallback (coverage gaps only): if a PR you know exists isn't in lectio's result, it's likely outside configured gh coverage (memory_list_sources shows the scopes). For that specific gap, gh pr view <ref> --json … — and note it's a coverage gap worth adding to [[gh.repo]] or author_scoped, so next time lectio has it.

Posture

Read-only. This skill answers a question; it never posts a reply, approves, or comments. When the board says "#42090 needs a reply," handing off to compose that reply is a separate, explicit step the user initiates.
