gh-unanswered

Find GitHub issues where you were @mentioned but haven't replied since.

Unlike notification-based tools, this walks comments chronologically — if you commented first, then someone mentioned you again later, it correctly flags the issue as unanswered.

Install

pip install gh-unanswered

Requires GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated and Python 3.9+.

Usage

gh-unanswered                             # all repos, last 14 days
gh-unanswered owner/repo                   # specific repo
gh-unanswered --days 30                    # custom time window
gh-unanswered --user someone               # check for another user
gh-unanswered --json                       # machine-readable output

How it works

1. Searches for issues where you're mentioned, updated within the time window
2. Fetches all comments for each issue
3. Walks comments in chronological order:
   • Your comment clears any pending mention
   • Someone else's @you mention (within the time window) sets a pending mention
4. Reports issues where a mention is still pending at the end
