GitHub Review Requests

GitHub Review Requests

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

Requires: GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated.

When to Use

• You need to find unread GitHub PR review requests for a specific team.
• You want to check which open PRs currently need your review or a teammate's review.
• You need a filtered review queue instead of manually browsing GitHub notifications.

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

uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/​scripts/​fetch_review_requests.py --org getsentry --teams <team-slug>

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

uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/​scripts/​fetch_review_requests.py --org getsentry --teams <team slugs>

Script output

{
  "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:

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

Fallback

If the script fails, run manually:

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

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
