Find Ready-to-Merge Pull Requests

Produce a shortlist of open PRs a maintainer can approve and merge immediately, plus a short list of near-misses that each need one specific nudge. Default to 10 candidates unless the user asks for a different number.

Gather candidates

Search open PRs, excluding those that are structurally not mergeable:

repo:home-assistant/core is:open is:pr draft:false status:success -review:changes_requested
  -label:"awaiting-frontend" -label:"stale" -label:"cla-needed"

Add label:"small-pr" for quick wins, or label:"code-owner-approved" / review:approved for PRs already carrying an approval. Run several searches and pool the results — no single query surfaces everything.
