GitHub CLI: Search Pull Requests

Overview

Search for pull requests across GitHub repositories using gh search prs. Includes PR-specific filters like draft status, merge state, review status, and CI checks.

⚠️ CRITICAL: Search vs List Commands

gh search prs - GitHub-wide search (THIS SKILL):

• Searches across multiple repositories or organizations
• Searches in specific repos outside your current directory
• Uses GitHub's search query syntax with qualifiers
• Examples: "Find draft PRs in kubernetes repos", "Search for approved PRs in microsoft org"

gh pr list - Current repository only (NOT THIS SKILL):

• Lists PRs in your current working directory's repo
• Uses simple flag-based filtering
• Examples: "Show my PRs in this repo", "List open PRs here"
