🔍 PR Insights Dashboard

An AI-powered tool for analyzing GitHub pull requests using the GitHub Copilot SDK. Get instant insights and visualizations about your repository's PRs.

What It Does

Automatically analyzes pull requests and generates:

• Visual charts showing PR age distribution
• Insights about contributors and patterns
• Recommendations for improving workflow
• Interactive Q&A - ask follow-up questions in natural language

The GitHub Copilot SDK handles everything - fetching data, generating charts, and providing insights.

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

Install Copilot CLI:

npm install -g @github/copilot-cli

Authenticate:

gh auth login

Run

npm install
npm start -- --repo github/copilot-sdk

📖 Usage

Auto-Detect Repository

If you're in a git repository with a GitHub remote:

npm start

Specify Repository

npm start -- --repo facebook/react

Quick Demo

npm run demo

Non-Interactive Mode

Run analysis once and exit:

npm start -- --repo microsoft/vscode --non-interactive

💬 Interactive Conversation

After the initial analysis, you can ask follow-up questions:

You: Who are the most active contributors?
You: Which PRs have been open the longest?
You: What patterns do you see?
You: Any recommendations for improving our workflow?

Type exit to quit.

🎯 How It Works

// 1. Create Copilot client
const client = new CopilotClient();
await client.start();

// 2. Create a session
const session = await client.createSession({
  model: "gpt-4o",
  systemMessage: {
    content: "You are analyzing GitHub pull requests..."
  }
});

// 3. Listen for responses
session.on((event) => {
  if (event.type === "assistant.message") {
    console.log(event.data.content);
  }
});

// 4. Send requests - responses come via events
session.send({
  prompt: "Please analyze the open pull requests"
});

Copilot automatically:

• Fetches PR data from GitHub
• Analyzes patterns and trends
• Provides actionable insights
• Answers follow-up questions

🔍 Analyzing pull requests...

I've analyzed the repository and created a visualization. Here's what I found:

The repository has 34 open pull requests with the following distribution:
- 0-7 days old: 15 PRs (44%)
- 7-30 days old: 12 PRs (35%)
- 30-90 days old: 5 PRs (15%)
- 90+ days old: 2 PRs (6%)

I've saved a chart as 'pr-age-distribution.png' showing this distribution.

Top Contributors:
- Copilot AI: 8 PRs
- john0isaac: 4 PRs
- reachanihere: 3 PRs

Recommendations:
- Focus review efforts on the 5 PRs over 30 days old
- Consider pairing reviewers for faster turnaround

💡 Ask follow-up questions (or type 'exit')

You: Create a pie chart showing PRs by label

👋 Goodbye!

🎓 Customization Ideas

Different Analysis Focus

Modify the systemMessage to focus on different aspects:

systemMessage: {
    content: `Analyze PRs with focus on:
  - Review velocity and bottlenecks
  - New contributor onboarding
  - Breaking changes and dependencies
  - Documentation coverage`
}

Predefined Queries

Add common queries as CLI options:

npm start -- --repo owner/repo --analysis reviews
npm start -- --repo owner/repo --analysis contributors
npm start -- --repo owner/repo --analysis velocity

Multi-Repository Analysis

Compare multiple repositories:

const repos = ['facebook/react', 'vercel/next.js', 'angular/angular'];
for (const repo of repos) {
    // Analyze each and compare
}

Automated Reports

Run daily/weekly with cron or GitHub Actions:

- name: PR Analysis
  run: npm start -- --repo ${{ github.repository }} --non-interactive
