list
List all PRs waiting for your review or where you’ve commented.
This is your starting point. Shows every PR where you’re requested as a reviewer, plus PRs where you’ve already commented (so you can easily revisit your feedback). Sorted by oldest first.
When to Use
- Morning check: “What needs my attention today?”
- Before a meeting: “Any urgent PRs I should know about?”
- After returning from vacation: “What did I miss?”

Tips
- PRs are sorted oldest-first so you don’t miss stale reviews
- Use
--priorityto surface the most urgent ones visually - Combine with
--repoto focus on one codebase at a time - Use
--show-stacksto see PRs that build on each other (stacked PRs)
Stack Detection
When --show-stacks is enabled, list detects stacked PRs — PRs where one PR’s base branch is another PR’s head branch. This helps identify dependent PRs that need to be reviewed in sequence.
Example stack output:
┌─ Stack on `main` (3 PRs)
🔵 #123 - Add new feature
└─ @feature
https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123
#124 - Implement API endpoint
└─ @feature-2
https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/124
#125 - Add tests
└─ @feature-3
https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/125
Stack detection works by analyzing branch relationships:
- PR targeting branch
featureis the base - PR targeting branch
feature-2builds on it - This creates a stack that should be reviewed in order
