What it does
GitHub PR Query is an agent skill from github/gh-aw, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Query GitHub pull requests with jq filtering and reusable selectors.
Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `query-prs.sh`).
It sits in Development, covering Pull requests. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: GitHub Agentic Workflows. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Pull requests
Example prompts
- “/github-pr-query”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb63040. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
GitHub PR Query loads about 887 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 251 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- Query GitHub pull requests with jq filtering and reusable selectors.
GitHub Pull Request Query Skill
Query GitHub pull requests efficiently with built-in jq filtering.
Important: jq Parameter is Optional
The --jq parameter is optional. Without --jq, this skill returns schema and data size information instead of full data.
Use this to avoid oversized responses and inspect structure before targeted queries.
Use --jq '.' to get all data, or use a more specific filter for targeted results.
Usage
Use this skill to query pull requests from the current repository or any specified repository.
Basic Query (Returns Schema Only)
To list pull requests from the current repository:
./query-prs.sh
# Returns schema and data size, not full dataGet All Data
To get all PR data:
./query-prs.sh --jq '.'With Repository
To query a specific repository:
./query-prs.sh --repo owner/repoWith jq Filtering
Use the --jq argument to filter and transform the output:
# Get only open PRs
./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | select(.state == "open")'
# Get PR numbers and titles
./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | {number, title}'
# Get PRs by a specific author
./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | select(.author.login == "username")'
# Get merged PRs from last week
./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | select(.mergedAt != null)'
# Count PRs by state
./query-prs.sh --jq 'group_by(.state) | map({state: .[0].state, count: length})'Common Options
--state: Filter by state (open, closed, merged, all). Default: open--limit: Maximum number of PRs to fetch. Default: 30--repo: Repository in owner/repo format. Default: current repo--author: Filter PRs by author login--app: Filter PRs by GitHub App author--search: Apply GitHub issue/PR search syntax--jq: (Optional) jq expression for filtering/transforming output. If omitted, returns schema info
Example Queries
Find large PRs (many changed files):
./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | select(.changedFiles > 10) | {number, title, changedFiles}'Get PRs awaiting review:
./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | select(.reviewDecision == "REVIEW_REQUIRED") | {number, title, author: .author.login}'Get PRs authored by GitHub Actions app activity context:
./query-prs.sh --app github-actions --jq '.[] | {number, title, author: .author.login}'Find in-scope review feedback (team/collaborator + trusted automation):
# Trusted automation is matched by login; humans are matched by association.
./query-prs.sh --jq \
'.[] | {number, title, reviews: [.reviews[]? | select(.author.login == "github-actions[bot]" or .author.login == "app/github-copilot" or .authorAssociation == "MEMBER" or .authorAssociation == "OWNER" or .authorAssociation == "COLLABORATOR")] }'Ignore external review feedback:
./query-prs.sh --jq \
'.[] | {number, title, external_reviews: [.reviews[]? | select(.authorAssociation == "CONTRIBUTOR" or .authorAssociation == "FIRST_TIME_CONTRIBUTOR" or .authorAssociation == "FIRST_TIMER" or .authorAssociation == "NONE")] }'List PRs with their labels:
./query-prs.sh --jq '.[] | {number, title, labels: [.labels[].name]}'Output Format
The script outputs JSON by default, making it easy to pipe through jq for additional processing.
