Find Reviewable PR

This skill searches the dotnet/maui and dotnet/docs-maui repositories for open pull requests that are good candidates for review, prioritized by importance.

When to Use

  • "Find a PR to review"
  • "Find PRs that need review"

  2. Approved (Not Merged) - PRs with human approval that haven't been merged yet
  3. Ready To Review (Project Board) - PRs in "Ready To Review" column of the MAUI SDK Ongoing project board (requires read:project scope)
  4. Milestoned - PRs assigned to current milestone(s), sorted by lowest SR number first (e.g., SR5 before SR6), then Servicing
  5. Agent Reviewed - PRs reviewed by AI agent workflow (detected via labels)
  6. Partner - PRs from Syncfusion and other partners

Workflow for Reviewing PRs

Step 1: Find PRs to Review

CRITICAL: You MUST use the PowerShell script below. Do NOT attempt to query GitHub directly with gh commands or jq if the script fails. The script contains important prioritization logic (SR5 before SR6, P/0 first, etc.) that cannot be replicated with ad-hoc queries.

pwsh .github/skills/find-reviewable-pr/scripts/query-reviewable-prs.ps1

If the script fails (e.g., HTTP 502, network error, authentication issue):

  1. STOP - Do not attempt fallback queries
  2. Report the error to the user
  3. Suggest retry - Ask user to try again in a few minutes (GitHub API may be temporarily unavailable)

Why no fallbacks? Ad-hoc queries bypass the milestone prioritization logic and will return incorrectly ordered results (e.g., later SR milestones before earlier ones).

Step 2: Check for Warnings

IMPORTANT: If the script output contains a warning about missing read:project scope, you MUST include this warning at the TOP of your response to the user:

āš ļø **Note**: Your GitHub token is missing the `read:project` scope. Project board data is not available.
To enable: `gh auth refresh -s read:project`

Step 3: Present Results from ALL Categories

CRITICAL: When presenting PR results, you MUST include PRs from ALL categories returned by the script:

  1. šŸ”“ Priority (P/0) - Always include if present (always first)
  2. 🟢 Approved (Not Merged) - Always include if present
  3. šŸ“‹ Ready To Review (Board) - Always include if present
  4. šŸ“… Milestoned - Always include if present
  5. šŸ¤– Agent Reviewed - Always include if present
  6. šŸ¤ Partner - Always include if present
  7. ✨ Community - Always include if present
  8. šŸ• Recent - Always include if present
  9. šŸ“– docs-maui - Always include if present

DO NOT omit any category. Each category table should include columns for: PR, Title, Author, Assignees, Platform/Repo, Status, Agent Review, Age, Updated.

Tips

  • P/0 PRs should always be reviewed first - they're blocking releases
  • Approved PRs are ready to merge - verify CI is green and merge
  • Ready To Review PRs are in the project board pipeline and need timely review
  • Agent Reviewed PRs have been analyzed by the AI agent workflow - check their labels for status
  • Milestoned PRs have deadlines and should be prioritized
  • Partner PRs often have business priority
  • Community PRs may need more guidance and thorough review
  • Recent PRs - quick turnaround keeps contributors engaged
