## What it does

This skill fetches unread GitHub notifications for review requests and keeps open, unmerged pull requests. A PR matches when the team is a requested reviewer or its author belongs to that team. The team can be supplied as a slug or display name, which the skill converts to a lowercase hyphenated slug.

It runs `scripts/fetch_review_requests.py` through `uv`. The result includes the number of matches, PR titles, full URLs, repositories, numbers, authors, and the reasons each PR was included. If the script fails, the skill provides a manual route using `gh api` to inspect notifications, PR state, requested reviewers, and team members.

The setup requires an authenticated GitHub CLI `gh` and the `uv` CLI. Without either one, the skill cannot collect the review queue.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill gh-review-requests -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/gh-review-requests/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/gh-review-requests/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill gh-review-requests -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/gh-review-requests/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill gh-review-requests -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/gh-review-requests/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install getsentry/skills gh-review-requests
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/gh-review-requests/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill gh-review-requests -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/getsentry/skills --path skills/gh-review-requests
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/gh-review-requests/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill gh-review-requests -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/getsentry/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/gh-review-requests/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find unread review requests
- filter open PRs by a GitHub team
- check pull requests opened by team members
- show why each PR entered the queue
- format the review queue as a table

## Example prompts
- Find unread open PRs where review is requested from the `streaming-platform` team.
- Show my review queue for the `Streaming Platform` team and explain the reason for each PR.
- Check the review queue for the `backend` and `platform` teams.

# GitHub Review Requests

Fetch unread `review_requested` notifications for open (unmerged) PRs, filtered by a GitHub team.

**Requires**: GitHub CLI (`gh`) authenticated.

**Requires**: The `uv` CLI for python package management, install guide at https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/

## Step 1: Identify the Team

If the user has not specified a team, ask:

> Which GitHub team should I filter by? (e.g. `streaming-platform`)

Accept either a team slug (`streaming-platform`) or a display name ("Streaming Platform") — convert to lowercase-hyphenated slug before passing to the script.

## Step 2: Run the Script

```bash
uv run scripts/fetch_review_requests.py --org getsentry --teams <team-slug>
```

To filter by multiple teams, pass a comma-separated list:

```bash
uv run scripts/fetch_review_requests.py --org getsentry --teams <team slugs>
```

### Script output

```json
{
  "total": 3,
  "prs": [
    {
      "notification_id": "12345",
      "title": "feat(kafka): add workflow to restart a broker",
      "url": "https://github.com/getsentry/ops/pull/19144",
      "repo": "getsentry/ops",
      "pr_number": 19144,
      "author": "bmckerry",
      "reasons": ["opened by: bmckerry"]
    }
  ]
}
```

`reasons` will contain one or both of:
- `"review requested from: <Team Name>"` — the team is a requested reviewer
- `"opened by: <login>"` — the PR author is a team member

## Step 3: Present Results

Display results as a markdown table with full URLs:

| # | Title | URL | Reason |
|---|-------|-----|--------|
| 1 | feat(kafka): add workflow to restart a broker | https://github.com/getsentry/ops/pull/19144 | opened by: evanh |

If `total` is 0, say: "No unread review requests found for that team."

## Fallback

If the script fails, run manually:

```bash
gh api notifications --paginate
```

Then for each `review_requested` notification, check:
- `gh api repos/{repo}/pulls/{number}` — skip if `state == "closed"` or `merged_at` is set
- `gh api repos/{repo}/pulls/{number}/requested_reviewers` — check `teams[].name`
- `gh api orgs/{org}/teams/{slug}/members` — check if author is a member
