SLA ревью PR
Просроченные PR-ревью, пинг ревьюеров, эскалация по SLA.
Обзор
Catch a stalled PR the morning it stalls, not the week someone notices. A daily cron spawns a fresh session with read-only access to GitHub through the gh CLI; this skill pulls every open PR across {{target_repos}} and checks each one against three independent rules — overdue for first review, stale with no activity, and carrying requested changes the author hasn't addressed — then nudges whoever owns the next move in {{alert_channel}}.
Proactive and schedule-driven; recomputes from GitHub's current state every run, with no memory of the prior day's nudges.
Когда подключать
- The daily cron fires the PR review sweep.
- A human asks which PRs are overdue for review, stale, or blocked on unaddressed feedback.
Workflow
Step 0 — Orient
# List every open PR across the configured repos.
gh pr list --repo {{target_repos}} --state open \
--json number,title,url,author,createdAt,updatedAt,reviewRequests,reviews,comments,commits
Fresh session, no ledger — recompute everything from this pull. Repeat per repo if {{target_repos}} names more than one.
Step 1 — Pull the review detail per PR
gh pr view --repo {{target_repos}} <PR_NUMBER> \
--json number,title,url,author,createdAt,updatedAt,reviewRequests,reviews,comments,commits
reviews gives each review's state (APPROVED, CHANGES_REQUESTED, COMMENTED) and timestamp; commits and comments give the last activity; reviewRequests gives who's currently asked to review.
Step 2 — Flag PRs awaiting review past the SLA
For each PR with an outstanding reviewRequests entry and no APPROVED or CHANGES_REQUESTED review from that reviewer since the request:
hours_waiting = now - max(createdAt, last review-request timestamp)
Flag if hours_waiting > {{review_sla_hours}}. Nudge target: the requested reviewer(s).
Step 3 — Flag stale PRs
For every open PR, take the most recent of: last commit, last comment, last review.
days_idle = now - max(last_commit, last_comment, last_review)
Flag if days_idle > {{stale_days}}. Nudge target: the author. A PR already flagged in Step 2 can also be flagged here if it independently qualifies — the two checks are separate signals, not mutually exclusive.
Step 4 — Flag unaddressed requested changes
For each PR whose most recent review is CHANGES_REQUESTED, check whether the author has pushed a commit or posted a comment since that review's timestamp. If not, flag it. Nudge target: the author.
| Check | Passes (no nudge) | Fails (nudge) |
|---|---|---|
| Overdue review | Reviewer submitted within SLA | No review after {{review_sla_hours}}h |
| Stale | Any activity within the window | No activity for {{stale_days}}d |
| Unaddressed changes | Author pushed/replied after the review | Silence since CHANGES_REQUESTED |
Step 5 — Write the nudge
For every PR that trips at least one rule, write one line: the PR title and link, which rule(s) it tripped, and how long it's been in that state, e.g. "Awaiting review 3d (SLA 24h) — @reviewer" or "Stale 6d, no activity — @author" or "Changes requested 4d ago, not yet addressed — @author". A PR that trips more than one rule gets one entry listing all of them, not a duplicate nudge per rule.
Step 6 — Post to Slack
Post exactly one summary message to {{alert_channel}} for the whole sweep, grouped by rule (overdue for review / stale / unaddressed changes), each entry tagging the person it's nudging. This is a fresh session — there is no prior list to diff against, so the whole sweep is recomputed and reposted every day.
Ограничения
- Read-only, always. Every GitHub call is a read (
gh pr list,gh pr view,gh apiGET). Never merge, close, approve, or dismiss a review, even ifGH_TOKENwould technically allow it. - One output. The Slack post to {{alert_channel}} is the only thing that leaves the sandbox. No PR comments, no direct messages, no GitHub writes.
- No memory between runs. Each run is a fresh session; recompute every PR's state from GitHub rather than assuming anything from the prior day's nudges.
- Scoped secret.
GH_TOKENis injected as an environment variable at runtime, scoped to read access and to this agent's grant. - People decide, not the agent. The nudge flags what's blocking; a human reviews, pings, or closes the PR themselves.
