Live pane, status line and toasts for the current branch's PR (CI, Claude Approvals, open review threads, conflicts, preview link), /land to drive it to…

Keeps the current branch's pull request in view while you work in Claude Code.
/pr): merge state and conflicts, failing and running checks (CircleCI, GitHub Actions, Claude Approvals) with links, unresolved review threads, and the repository's preview link once its deploy check exists. Buttons: Refresh, Land, Mark ready (drafts).PR #123 · 2 failing · 3 open threads, refreshed every minute and shortly after each git push or gh pr change./land: asks Claude to drive the PR to mergeable: conflicts, then failing checks, then review threads (verifying each claim against the code), then the repository's own steps and marking it ready.pr_status tool: Claude reads the same state instead of re-querying GitHub.Needs the gh CLI, signed in. Works in any GitHub repository.
An optional .claude/pr-steward.json at the repository root adds a preview link and extra /land steps:
{
"preview": {
"check": "docs deploy",
"url": "https://docs-site-pr-{number}-data-client.vercel.app"
},
"land": ["Once everything is verified, run /simplify on the change."]
}
The link shows once a check named check exists on the PR's head commit; {number} is the PR number.
