What problem does it solve?

The Skill reduces wasted reviewer time by identifying which pull requests should be reviewed next so teams unblock merges and downstream work instead of reviewing the wrong items at the wrong time.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Queue Classification: Separates PRs into Reviewable, Waiting on Author, and Blocked to focus reviewer attention.
• Author-Response Detection: Detects commits after a blocking review to reclassify PRs as reviewable rather than waiting.
• Scoring & Tiering: Uses weighted dimensions (review gap, CI status, age, size, labels) to score PRs and assign Critical/High/Medium tiers.
• Prior-Review Gate: Guides reviewers whether to skip, delta-review, or perform a full review based on new activity since their last review.
• Use Case: A release manager or engineer with a long PR backlog runs the methodology to produce a prioritized, actionable review queue that maximizes unblock impact.
