Reviews waiting on you, first

Your pending PR reviews, summarized with the key changes, so unblocking the team takes minutes.

Every team has the same bottleneck: PRs aging in the queue while the reviewer is in meetings they did not choose. The author waits, the branch rots, the conflict arrives.

Review is the highest-impact interruption and the worst-scheduled one. It deserves a queue, not a notification pile.

THE ROUTINE

What it does

This routine summarizes the PRs waiting on your review: what changed, how big, how risky, and how long it has been sitting.

You clear the queue in the gaps you already have, and the team stops shipping around your backlog.

VS. CHAT SKILLS

Why not just use a skill?

A Claude skill or a ChatGPT skill can approximate this -- if you remember to ask. Copy in your calendar, paste the thread, wait, then carry the answer back out of the chat tab.

Littlebird already has the context: your meetings, your inbox, your calendar, and what was on your screen. The routine runs on schedule whether you remember or not.

Same idea, no choreography. The output lands in your Gmail or your task list instead of a chat window you have to babysit.

FAQ

How does it summarize a PR?

Title, scope, files touched, and the risk shape -- enough to know whether it is a two-minute skim or a real read.

Does it review the code itself?

It organizes your queue. Judgment on the diff stays with the human whose name is on the approval.

What do I need to install?

The Littlebird Mac app. Windows is not out yet, but the waitlist on the site gets you the announcement.

Is the Mac app required?

Yes -- Littlebird works from your Mac. A Windows version has a waitlist open on the site.
