Review first — review before installing

Open the source and read safety notes before installing.

Safety notes

  • Queue counts help with triage but do not rank urgency, security impact, or release blockers.
  • Draft PRs are excluded from the ready count, but repositories may use labels or checks for additional readiness rules.
  • Keep the refresh interval moderate to avoid repeated GitHub search calls.

Privacy notes

  • The script prints aggregate counts only, not PR titles, authors, or branch names.
  • Private review requests follow the local GitHub account and may reveal workload size in screenshots.
  • Organization review-team rules may cause counts to differ from the GitHub web UI.

Prerequisites

  • GitHub CLI installed and logged in as the maintainer account whose review queue should be shown.
  • jq available for counting pull request fields.
  • Repository access that lets GitHub search return pull requests requesting the current account's review.

About this resource

Source notes

  • GitHub's search documentation covers issue and pull request search qualifiers, including review-requested workflows.
  • This entry focuses on the maintainer search queue rather than the GitHub CLI gh pr list manual page that overlaps the accepted repository-health statusline source domain.

Duplicate check

Checked existing statuslines, live HeyClaude statuslines, open pull requests, and repository content for github-search-review-queue-statusline, review queue, maintainer reviews, review-requested, GitHub search statuslines, and gh-maintainer-review-queue-statusline. The earlier cli.github.com submission was self-closed after #960 showed that source domain overlaps the accepted repository-health statusline; this replacement uses GitHub search documentation and a search-queue-focused scope.
