Repo Activity Summary

Summarize current repository activity — open issues, pull requests, and CI status — in one structured report. Uses the gh CLI against the current repo.

Data Gathering

Run all three gh commands in parallel:

Open Issues (top 15)

gh issue list --state open --limit 15 \
  --json number,title,labels,milestone,updatedAt \
  --jq '.[] | "\(.number)\t\(.title)\t\(.labels | map(.name) | join(","))\t\(.milestone.title // "none")\t\(.updatedAt[:10])"'

Open Pull Requests

gh pr list --state open --limit 10 \
  --json number,title,headRefName,createdAt,isDraft,statusCheckRollup \
  --jq '.[] | "\(.number)\t\(.title)\t\(.headRefName)\t\(.createdAt[:10])\t\(.isDraft)\t\(.statusCheckRollup | map(.conclusion // .status) | join(","))"'

Recent CI Runs (last 8)

gh run list --limit 8 \
  --json name,status,conclusion,headBranch,createdAt,event \
  --jq '.[] | "\(.conclusion // .status)\t\(.name)\t\(.headBranch)\t\(.createdAt[:10])\t\(.event)"'

Output Format

Present results as three markdown tables with a planning summary:

## Open Issues (N)
| # | Title | Milestone | Labels |
[sorted by number descending — newest first]

Breakdown: X on milestone-A, Y on milestone-B. Highlight P0/P1 items.

## Open Pull Requests (N)
| # | Title | Branch | Draft? | CI |
[note any failing checks]

## CI Status (Recent Runs)
| Status | Workflow | Branch |
[flag any failures prominently]

## Current Branch Context
[git branch name + uncommitted file count from git status]

## Planning Takeaways
[2-4 bullet points: blockers, active work, items needing attention]

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Fix
Using checks field on gh pr list	Use statusCheckRollup instead — checks is not a valid JSON field
Not handling empty results	If no open PRs, say "No open pull requests" instead of an empty table
Forgetting current branch context	Always include git branch --show-current and uncommitted file count
