Migrate PR triage workflows to shared workflows by BagToad · Pull Request #12707 · cli/cli

BagToad · 2026-02-17T15:03:16Z

Follows up on #12677 by migrating the PR triage workflows (prauto.yml, pr-help-wanted.yml) to shared reusable workflows.

Changes

New

triage-pull-requests.yml — single workflow calling shared workflows for:
- Labeling external PRs (external, needs-triage)
- Closing PRs opened from trunk
- Checking PR requirements (body length + help-wanted issue linkage)
- Closing PRs labeled no-help-wanted-issue
- Marking PRs ready for review
- Daily scheduled close of PRs with unmet requirements (7-day grace period)

Deleted

prauto.yml — replaced by shared workflows
pr-help-wanted.yml — replaced by triage-pr-requirements.yml
scripts/check-help-wanted.sh — no longer needed

Behavioral changes

External PRs now also get needs-triage (previously only external)
PRs with short descriptions get an unmet-requirements label and 7-day grace period instead of immediate close
Org member auto-assign on PR open is removed

Replace prauto.yml and pr-help-wanted.yml with a single triage-pull-requests.yml that calls shared reusable workflows from desktop/gh-cli-and-desktop-shared-workflows: - triage-label-external-pr: labels external PRs with external,needs-triage - triage-close-from-default-branch: closes PRs opened from trunk - triage-pr-requirements: enforces body length + help-wanted issue linkage - triage-close-no-help-wanted: closes PRs labeled no-help-wanted-issue - triage-ready-for-review: removes needs-triage on ready-for-review label Also adds a daily schedule to auto-close PRs with unmet requirements after 7 days. Deletes: - prauto.yml - pr-help-wanted.yml - scripts/check-help-wanted.sh Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Pull request overview

Migrates pull request triage automation from repo-local workflows/scripts to reusable workflows in desktop/gh-cli-and-desktop-shared-workflows, consolidating PR triage behaviors into a single workflow.

Changes:

Add a new consolidated PR triage workflow (triage-pull-requests.yml) that calls shared reusable workflows for labeling/closing/checking PRs and a daily scheduled task.
Remove legacy PR automation workflows (prauto.yml, pr-help-wanted.yml) and the now-unused helper script (check-help-wanted.sh).

triage-pr-requirements is described as applying an unmet-requirements label and possibly commenting/closing PRs. Those actions typically require issues: write on the caller workflow token; with issues: read here the reusable workflow may fail to apply labels/comments. Consider changing this job's permissions to issues: write (write includes read).

    permissions:
      issues: read
      pull-requests: write

.github/workflows/triage-pull-requests.yml

+      issues: read
+      pull-requests: write

+  close-unmet-requirements:
+    if: github.event_name == 'schedule'
+    uses: desktop/gh-cli-and-desktop-shared-workflows/.github/workflows/triage-pr-requirements.yml@main
+    permissions:
+      issues: read


Same as above for the scheduled run: if triage-pr-requirements needs to add/remove labels or leave comments when closing PRs, issues: read may be insufficient. Consider granting issues: write for this job too.

This issue also appears on line 34 of the same file.

.github/workflows/triage-pull-requests.yml

+  check-requirements:
+    if: >-
+      github.event_name == 'pull_request_target' &&
+      (github.event.action == 'opened' || github.event.action == 'reopened' || github.event.action == 'edited')
+    uses: desktop/gh-cli-and-desktop-shared-workflows/.github/workflows/triage-pr-requirements.yml@main


pull_request_target includes ready_for_review, but none of the jobs run when github.event.action == 'ready_for_review'. This means draft PRs that become ready may never get external labeling / default-branch closing / requirement checks. Consider including ready_for_review in the relevant job if: conditions (or adding a dedicated job for that action).

We recommend reviewing [the v2.87.1 release notes](https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.87.1) for the complete set of latest features and fixes. #### What's Changed - chore(deps): bump golang.org/x/crypto from 0.47.0 to 0.48.0 by [@dependabot](https://github.com/dependabot)\[bot] in [#12659](cli/cli#12659) **Full Changelog**: <cli/cli@v2.87.1...v2.87.2> ### [`v2.87.1`](https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.87.1): GitHub CLI 2.87.1 [Compare Source](cli/cli@v2.87.0...v2.87.1) #### ⚠️ Incomplete Release The v2.87.1 release experienced a failure in our workflow and is not fully published to the designated package managers/repositories. This is resolved in [v2.87.2](https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.87.2), so we recommend using that release instead. #### What's Changed - Remove license bundling debris by [@williammartin](https://github.com/williammartin) in [#12716](cli/cli#12716) - fix(agent-task/capi): use a fixed CAPI API version by [@babakks](https://github.com/babakks) in [#12731](cli/cli#12731) **Full Changelog**: <cli/cli@v2.87.0...v2.87.1> ### [`v2.87.0`](https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.87.0): GitHub CLI 2.87.0 [Compare Source](cli/cli@v2.86.0...v2.87.0) #### `gh workflow run` immediately returns workflow run URL One of our most requested features - with the latest changes in GitHub API, `gh workflow run` will immediately print the created workflow run URL. #### Improved `gh auth login` experience in VM/WSL environments We have observed rare cases of time drift between the wall and monotonic clocks, mostly in WSL or VM environments, causing failures during polling for the OAuth token. This new release implements measures to account for such situations. If you continue to experience `gh auth login` issues in WSL, please comment in [#9370](cli/cli#9370) ####

Request Copilot Code Review from `gh` + performance improvements `gh pr edit` now supports [Copilot Code Review](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/using-github-copilot/code-review/using-copilot-code-review) as a reviewer. You can request a review from Copilot using the `--add-reviewer @copilot` flag or interactively by selecting reviewers in the prompts. This release also introduces a new search experience for selecting reviewers and assignees in `gh pr edit`. Instead of loading all collaborators and teams upfront, results are now fetched based on inputs to a new search option. Initial options are suggestions based on those involved with the pull request already. ``` ? Reviewers [Use arrows to move, space to select, <right> to all, <left> to none, type to filter] [ ] Search (7472 more) [x] BagToad (Kynan Ware) > [x] Copilot (AI) ``` This experience will follow in `gh pr create` and `gh issue` for assignees in a later release. #### What's Changed ##### ✨ Features - Bundle licenses at release time by [@williammartin](https://github.com/williammartin) in [#12625](cli/cli#12625) - Add `--query` flag to `project item-list` by [@williammartin](https://github.com/williammartin) in [#12696](cli/cli#12696) - feat(workflow run): retrieve workflow dispatch run details by [@babakks](https://github.com/babakks) in [#12695](cli/cli#12695) - Pin REST API version to 2022-11-28 by [@williammartin](https://github.com/williammartin) in [#12680](cli/cli#12680) - Respect `--exit-status` with `--log` and `--log-failed` in `run view` by [@williammartin](https://github.com/williammartin) in [#12679](cli/cli#12679) - Fork with default branch only during pr create by [@williammartin](https://github.com/williammartin) in [#12673](cli/cli#12673) - `gh pr edit`: Add support for Copilot as reviewer with search capability, performance and accessibility improvements by [@BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#12567](cli/cli#12567) - `gh pr edit`: new interactive prompt for assignee selection, performance and accessibility improvements by [@BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#12526](cli/cli#12526) ##### 📚 Docs & Chores - Clean up project item-list query addition changes by [@williammartin](https://github.com/williammartin) in [#12714](cli/cli#12714) - `gh release upload`: Clarify `--clobber` flag deletes assets before re-uploading by [@BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#12711](cli/cli#12711) - Add usage examples to `gh gist edit` command by [@BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#12710](cli/cli#12710) - Remove feedback issue template by [@BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#12708](cli/cli#12708) - Migrate issue triage workflows to shared workflows by [@BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#12677](cli/cli#12677) - Migrate MR triage workflows to shared workflows by [@BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#12707](cli/cli#12707) - Add missing TODO comments for featuredetection if-statements by [@BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#12701](cli/cli#12701) - Add manual dispatch to bump-go workflow by [@BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#12631](cli/cli#12631) - typo: dont to don't by [@cuiweixie](https://github.com/cuiweixie) in [#12554](cli/cli#12554) - Fix fmt.Errorf format argument in ParseFullReference by [@mikelolasagasti](https://github.com/mikelolasagasti) in [#12516](cli/cli#12516) - Lint source.md by [@Sethispr](https://github.com/Sethispr) in [#12521](cli/cli#12521) #####
