Skill: GitHub pull request triage
Use pull-request evidence in layers instead of jumping directly to a merge recommendation.
- Identify the PR by repository and pull number, or list open PRs when the number is unknown.
- Read the PR state, base/head branches, mergeability fields when available, and the head commit SHA.
- Inspect changed files when the question concerns scope or code impact.
- Inspect commit/check evidence for the PR head when the question concerns CI, required checks, or merge readiness.
- If a check failed, hand off to
github.actions-triagefor workflow-run and job evidence rather than treating the PR surface as the CI log source. - Distinguish "GitHub says mergeable" from "project policy says approved"; branch protection, reviews, and external acceptance may impose additional gates.
