PR Genius — The advisor that knows which PRs get closed

1355 loaded patterns across 61 repos. 100% quality pass rate. Clone → paste MCP config → ask "Should I open this PR to encode/httpx?"

🎯 What is PR Genius?

PR Genius is not a PR dashboard. It's an Outbound PR CRM for professional OSS contributors and AI agents:

Manage PRs you've submitted to other repos — when to fix CI, rebase, wait, ping, or abandon.

Status heartbeat runs daily via cron, auto-detecting:

• 🔴 NEEDS_REBASE / CI_FAILING — fix immediately
• 🟡 STALE_REVIEW — ping after threshold
• 🟡 STALE_NO_REVIEW — consider abandoning
• 🟢 CLEAN / WAITING — continue waiting

🛡️ Why PR Genius?

PR Genius doesn't write PRs for you. It knows which PRs get closed.

Real cases (PR Genius helped avoid these rejections):

🚀 Quick Start

pip install prgenius-core

# Analyze PR
python3 -m prgenius analyze "feat: add feature" --repo org/repo --body "Fixes #123"

# Coach (pass/fail)
python3 -m prgenius coach "feat: add feature" --repo org/repo

# Triage (policy check)
python3 -m prgenius triage "docs: typo" --repo org/repo --diff-stat "docs/faq.md | 3 ++-"

# Status heartbeat (outbound PR monitoring)
python3 -m prgenius status --author zsxh1990
python3 -m prgenius status --author zsxh1990 --format json --save-snapshot

# Profile writeback suggestions (dry-run)
python3 -m prgenius profile writeback --author zsxh1990
