Twg Engineering Work

twg-engineering-work is a TWG CLI workflow skill for pull-request queues, stale reviews, repo contributors, and review-bottleneck analysis.

About

This TWG CLI workflow skill handles engineering review work: pull-request queues, stale reviews, repo contributors, hot areas, and PR-based status. A developer uses it to find which PRs are waiting on their review, spot review bottlenecks, or link issues to in-flight PRs. It resolves the engineering anchor first, then hydrates only the PRs that need action, ranking by waiting time rather than count.

  • Analyzes PR queues, stale reviews, and review bottlenecks from Atlassian and Bitbucket data
  • Recipe cards for review queue, stale reviews, issue-to-PR lookup, and PR-based status rollups
  • Ranks PRs by waiting time and required action, not by raw PR count

What it does

Analyze PR queues, stale reviews, and review bottlenecks across Atlassian and Bitbucket with the TWG CLI.

Who is it for?

reviewers and engineering leads triaging PR queues and review bottlenecks

Skip if: ranking contributors or impact by raw PR count, which the skill explicitly warns against

When should I use this skill?

the user asks which PRs await review, wants stale-review or bottleneck analysis, or needs a PR-based status rollup

What you get

A ranked review queue and bottleneck report tying each PR to the reason it needs attention and the next action.

  • a ranked review queue
  • stale-review and bottleneck report
  • PR-based status rollup

By the numbers

  • 5 recipe cards: review queue, stale reviews, issue PRs, repo contributors, PR-based rollup

twg-engineering-work

Use together with the root twg skill. Exact command grammar must come from live twg help, twg help <terms>, or twg help describe <path>.

Use When

  • "Which PRs are waiting for my review?"
  • "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 leadership readout"
  • "Open bugs/tasks with PRs in flight"

First Move

Resolve the engineering anchor:

  • Repo prompt: identify workspace and repo from URL, local checkout, or repo query.
  • PR prompt: resolve exact PR URL, ID, workspace, and repo.
  • Workitem prompt: fetch/context the Jira workitem to discover linked PRs,

commits, branches, and repos.

  • Topic prompt: resolve/search once, then find linked repos, PRs, and workitems.

Use typed Bitbucket, Jira, context, and search command families when they clearly match the prompt. Use focused help only when the route or exact contract is unclear.

Route Selection

  • For queues, query candidate PRs first, then hydrate selected PRs needing action.
  • For stale reviews, group by repo, author, reviewer, and stage before fetching

detailed comments or diffs.

  • 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-based status, resolve org/team first, then collect merged or open PRs

for the relevant members, repos, and time window.

Evidence Policy

  • Hydrate PR details, comments, tasks, pipeline status, and diff only for stale,

blocked, central, or high-impact PRs.

  • For review status, include age, requested reviewers, comments/tasks, approval

state, CI/pipeline state, and last activity.

  • For repo/team reports, group by repo, service, or workstream rather than only

person counts.

  • Inspect PR titles/descriptions and linked issues to infer themes; do not rank

solely by PR count.

  • Keep Bitbucket auth failures separate from Atlassian auth failures.

Recipe Cards

Review Queue

Query reviewer-scoped open PRs. Sort by waiting time, requested action, unresolved tasks/comments, failing CI, and project relevance. Hydrate only PRs that need action.

Stale Reviews / Review Bottlenecks

Find PRs open or waiting beyond the threshold. Group by repo, author, reviewer, and stage. Identify bottleneck patterns such as missing reviewer, unresolved tasks, failing CI, repeated request-changes, or owner unavailable.

Issue PRs

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

Repo Contributors / Hot Areas

Query PRs/commits for the repo and time window. Group by files/areas, authors, reviewers, and themes. For hot areas, prioritize changed area plus frequency and ownership signals.

PR-Based Status Rollup

Resolve org/team first, then collect PRs for members or repos in the time window. Group into themes and repos/services. Call out gaps where PR-only evidence omits Jira, docs, planning, or customer context.

Output Shape

  • Queue/action tasks: table with PR, repo, owner, state, why it needs attention,

next action, and evidence.

  • Engineering reports: executive summary, repo/workstream table, contributors,

review bottlenecks, risks, and gaps.

  • Always include URLs or stable IDs for key artifacts.

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not guess Bitbucket workspace or repo.
  • Do not fetch every PR body, diff, or comment in a large queue.
  • Do not treat PR counts as impact.
  • Do not mix Bitbucket auth failures with Atlassian auth failures.

FAQ

How does the review queue rank PRs?

By waiting time, requested action, unresolved tasks/comments, failing CI, and project relevance, hydrating only PRs that need action.

Should PR count be treated as impact?

No. The skill warns not to treat PR counts as impact and to infer themes from titles and linked issues instead.
