twg-engineering-work

Use with root twg. Follow documented command shapes; use focused live twg help only for missing or uncertain commands, arguments, or output contracts.

CLI launcher fallback

Run twg <command>. On shell command not found, use $HOME/.local/bin/twg (macOS/Linux) / $env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\twg\bin\twg.exe (PowerShell), then tell user to add that directory to PATH. Do not treat auth or command errors as PATH failures.

Use When

• "Which PRs are waiting for my review?"
• "Where is this API implemented or used?"
• "Which repositories depend on this package?"
• "Latest PRs for this issue"
• "Who contributed most to this repo/topic?"
• "Repos I created PRs in"
• "Stale reviews"
• "Review flow or bottlenecks"
• "PR-only status for a user, team, or repo", "this person's PRs", "my PRs this week"
• "Open bugs/tasks with PRs in flight"

First Move

Resolve the engineering anchor:

• Repo: identify workspace and repo from URL, local checkout, or repo query.
• PR: resolve exact PR URL, ID, workspace, and repo.
• Workitem: fetch/context the Jira workitem for linked PRs, commits, branches, and repos.
• Topic: resolve/search once, then find linked repos, PRs, and workitems.
• Code: resolve the package, API, symbol, or repository anchor, then load references/code-search.md.

Provider-native PR commands apply only to their host; Bitbucket activity/comment/task commands never apply to GitHub PRs.

Route Selection

• Use ../twg-code-review/SKILL.md only when named or code review requests additional context. Exclude ordinary reviews during testing.
• For issue-to-PR lookup, use workitem context before broad PR text search.
• For repo contributors and hot areas, combine PR/commit/file-area signals with ownership and review evidence.
• For PR leadership/team/org rollups, use twg-status-rollups; this skill adds PR detail.
• For person/repo status, collect merged/open PRs for the people, repos, and window.
• Code: load references/code-search.md.
• PRs: load references/pull-requests.md.
• Pipelines and builds: load references/pipelines.md.
• For person-scoped summaries beyond PRs (Jira, docs, meetings, planning, notifications), use twg-status-rollups plus ../twg-status-rollups/references/personal-work-summary.md.

Batch The PR Set

Hydrate a PR set in one call, never one call per PR.

• Reviewers, approvals, age, merge state: one pull-requests get <pr-url…> covers the whole set. Use PR URLs (url in query results); ARIs give approved: null.
• Candidates: bitbucket pull-requests query (author, reviewer, state, window) or pull-requests query (user/org).
• pr-tree reviewer counts mean "listed as reviewer", not approved.
• Pipelines: bitbucket pipeline query lists recent runs only (--limit default 15); raise it and check returned timestamps before claiming window coverage. pipeline get only for failures whose logs matter. commits/deployments batch by ARI.
• Only approval/comment timestamps need per-PR bitbucket pull-requests activity; past ~10 PRs, sample and state it. With no --type it returns approval, update, and comment events together, so never call it again per event type.

Evidence Policy

• Hydrate PR comments, tasks, pipeline status, and diff only for stale, blocked, central, or high-impact PRs.
• For PR rollups, stop once themes, repos/services, owners, and recency are identified; more PRs of the same theme add nothing.
• For review status, include age, requested reviewers, comments/tasks, approval state, CI/pipeline state, and last activity where exposed.
• For repo/team reports, group by repo, service, or workstream, not person counts.
• Infer themes from PR titles, descriptions, and linked issues, not PR counts.
• Keep Bitbucket, GitHub, and Atlassian auth failures separate.
• If PR graph or repo-wide queries repeatedly fail, make one narrower fallback from known repos, people, workitems, or search anchors, then answer from what succeeded and call out the PR coverage gap.

Recipe Cards

Review Queue

Query reviewer-scoped open PRs; sort by waiting time, requested action, unresolved tasks/comments, failing CI, and relevance. Hydrate only PRs needing action.

Stale Reviews / Review Bottlenecks

Find PRs open or waiting beyond the threshold; group by repo, author, reviewer, and stage. Bottleneck patterns: missing reviewer, unresolved tasks, failing CI, repeated request-changes, owner unavailable.

Issue PRs

Use workitem context for linked PRs, commits, branches, and repos. Fetch PRs only when the user asks for details, status, or next action.

Repo Contributors / Hot Areas

Query PRs/commits for the repo and window; group by files/areas, authors, reviewers, and themes. Hot areas rank changed area, frequency, and ownership.

PR-Based Status Rollup

Resolve org/team first, then collect PRs for members or repos in the window. Group into themes and repos/services, and call out gaps where PR-only evidence omits Jira, docs, planning, or customer context. For one person with a broader prompt, use twg-status-rollups.

Output Shape

Queues: PR, repo, owner, state, reason, next action, evidence. Reports: workstreams, contributors, bottlenecks, risks, gaps, and stable artifact URLs/IDs.

Anti-Patterns

• Do not guess Bitbucket workspace or repo.
• Do not call a single-entity command per PR or per pipeline when a batch or query route covers the set.
• Do not fetch every PR body, diff, or comment in a large queue.
• Do not treat PR counts as impact.
