🤖 Filed by Claude Code on Kai's behalf.

Gap

Today repo-recall only knows about repos with a local clone under REPO_RECALL_CWD. PRs and issues in repos Kai contributes to but hasn't cloned (e.g. urfave/cli, backstage/backstage, dagger/dagger) are invisible. gh dash covers this case via arbitrary GitHub search queries.

Proposal

Add a "GitHub state I care about, regardless of disk" view backed by a small, configurable set of gh search queries. Strawman:

[github_views]
  review_queue   = "is:open is:pr review-requested:@me archived:false"
  my_open_prs    = "is:open is:pr author:@me archived:false"
  assigned_issues = "is:open is:issue assignee:@me archived:false"
  mentions       = "is:open mentions:@me archived:false sort:updated-desc"

Each becomes a tab/section. Repos not on disk would still link out to github.com rather than to a local repo card.

Caveats

Adds a third call type beyond gh run list. Worth a separate gh rate-limit budget.
Would need to gracefully degrade if gh is unauthenticated or rate-limited (existing pattern).
Does NOT replace the local-clone scoping that drives the rest of the dashboard. New view, separate data path.

Relationship to #10

The cross-repo review queue issue is local-clone-scoped. This one is the broader follow-on: "show me GitHub state I care about even when I don't have the repo on disk." Land the simpler one first, this one second.

Iceboxed in the 2026-05-29 backlog burn-down: Track repos not on disk; speculative scope expansion. Reopen anytime if it becomes real.
