Load PR Context

Name

github:load-pr-context - Load pull request context for the current branch

Synopsis

/load-pr-context [owner/repo] [branch]

Description

Loads the full context of an open pull request for the given branch, including description, changes, CI status, and review comments. Uses GitHub MCP tools for structured data access.

Implementation

Given owner/repo and branch arguments:

• Use mcp__github__list_pull_requests with owner , repo , head: "OWNER:BRANCH" , state: "open" to find the PR

• If no PR is found, report that no open PR exists for this branch and stop

• If a PR exists, gather context silently (do not narrate each step):

• Use mcp__github__get_pull_request with the PR number to read description, labels, reviewers, and metadata

• Use mcp__github__get_pull_request_diff or mcp__github__list_pull_request_files to understand what has changed

• Use mcp__github__list_workflow_runs with branch to check CI status

• Check for review comments via mcp__github__list_review_comments_on_pull_request

• Check for linked issues mentioned in the PR description

• Present a concise summary:

• PR title, number, and status

• Key points from the description

• Files changed (count and notable files)

• CI status (passing/failing)

• Review status (approved, changes requested, pending)

• Any blocking issues or failing checks
