Issue being fixed or feature implemented

/prs listed "touched areas" for every PR waiting on the reader's review, so the reader could not tell which files were theirs or that one approval per area is enough. It also claimed the PR Hygiene report knows nothing about CI, which is no longer true.

What was done?

  • Step 3: present the reader's part, the areas they may approve that nobody has approved on the current head, with who else may approve instead, plus any re-review of their own open objection. The skill reads this from the report's your part: text or from approvals / objectors in --format json.
  • Step 5: the report knows the build as one verdict per head (green / running / failed, from check runs and statuses), which gates the review request.

How Has This Been Tested?

Documentation-only change to a skill. It depends on dashpay/stale_prs_are_bad#64, which adds your part: and objectors to the reports. Keep this PR as a draft until that one merges.

Breaking Changes

None.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified review-queue reporting to include areas awaiting the user’s approval, eligible alternative approvers, and open objections needing follow-up.
    • Updated build guidance to distinguish the current check verdict shown in blockers from detailed failure information available by inspecting checks.

The PR Hygiene reports now say, for a pull request waiting on review,
which areas the reader may approve and who else may instead, and whether
they owe a re-review of their own objection (dashpay/stale_prs_are_bad
"tell each reviewer which areas are theirs"). The skill now presents that
"your part" instead of every touched area.

It also no longer says the report knows nothing about CI: the engine reads
each head's check runs and statuses into a green / running / failed
verdict that gates the review request.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR skill updates review-queue guidance to cover unapproved review areas, alternative approvers, and open objections. It also documents the current-head build verdict and where to find failed-check details.

Changes

PR review guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Review queue and build-verdict guidance
.claude/skills/prs/SKILL.md
The skill adds JSON selection rules for unapproved review areas, alternative approvers, and open objections. It states that the current-head build verdict gates the review request and directs readers to row blockers and checks for build details.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ecd19

The /prs instructions can misstate build status or whether a reviewer is still requested after a build failure. This is a bounded workflow-guidance risk, not a production-code failure.

Architecture Summary

Architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to ecd19

The changed surface does not map to a changed system, dependency edge, entrypoint, or external dependency.

Review details

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in .claude/skills/prs/SKILL.md: The review-queue instructions replace generic “touched areas” with the reviewer’s unapproved approval areas, alternatives, and open-objection actions, including JSON selection rules. The CI instructions replace the claim that CI is not covered and that only the policy commit status is read: the report now exposes a current-head build verdict from check runs and statuses, which gates the review request; report it only as stated in row blockers and inspect checks for failed-check details.

3. Present two sections. First, what is waiting on this person to review: oldest first, with links, their part and the next action. Their part is what the report prints after `your part:` — each area they may approve that nobody has approved on the current head, with who else may approve it instead (one approval per area is enough), and `re-review or resolve your objection` where an objection of theirs is still open. From `--format json`, take the `approvals` entries with `owned` false, empty `approved_by` and the person in `approvers` (case-insensitive), plus a re-review when they are in `objectors`. Second, their own pull requests and what each is blocked on — a bot that has not reported, an unresolved bot thread, a change request, a missing self-review, or a slot that is still queued.

5. The report says nothing about CI. It reads this policy's own commit status and never the repository's check runs, so never state or imply that a build passed or failed. If asked about CI, say it is not covered and read the checks directly.

Describe the build verdict and request latch separately.

The row’s blockers contains actionable next steps. It does not expose the green, running, or failed build verdict. In JSON, read checklist.build.state for that verdict. Also, a non-green build prevents a new human review request, but it does not withdraw a request already issued while the build was green. Update this instruction to describe both rules.

Final review — Phase 1 only (trivial change)

The documentation correctly updates /prs to expose reviewer-specific work and the build verdict, but step 5 omits an important distinction in the review-request latch behavior. A non-green build blocks issuing a new review request, but does not withdraw a request already issued while the build was green.
