pr reminders

reminders post a scheduled summary of open pull requests to a channel, so stale reviews surface before they become week-old reviews.

what the summary looks like

a single message, grouped by repo:

each pull request with its linked title, the author linked to their github profile, and how long it has been open
draft prs tagged (draft) and excluded from the waiting count
a closing line like "3 pull requests across 2 repositories are waiting for review"
when everything is clear: "no open pull requests right now. everything is clear."

configure from slack

run /atom reminders in the channel that should receive the summary. the form covers timezone, time of day, days of the week, and which repos to include. it pre-selects the channel's mapped repos, and if a config already exists it loads it for editing. saving posts a confirmation in the channel.

turn them off with /atom reminders off.

configure from the terminal

atom reminders set --channel #eng-reviews --time 10:00 --tz America/New_York --days mon,tue,wed,thu,fri
atom reminders                       # list configs
atom reminders delete --channel #eng-reviews

repos default to the channel's mapped repos when you leave --repos out.

on demand

ask @atom pending prs in any configured channel for the same summary immediately, without waiting for the schedule.

behavior notes

one config per channel, and different channels can run different schedules, timezones, and repo sets.
times are interpreted in the config's timezone with a fifteen minute delivery window.
if github cannot be reached for every configured repo, atom skips the post rather than reporting a false all-clear.
